Working with Los Angeles team colours
Los Angeles supports 4 teams across National Football League, National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball, using 9 colour values between them. Regional broadcasters, local newspapers and city-wide merchandise frequently have to carry more than one of these palettes in a single piece of work, which is why the pairings above are worth checking before a layout is committed.
The darkest value in use here is Navy #002A5E and the lightest is Sunshine Gold #FFC20E, a contrast of 8.69:1 between the two extremes. Any design that has to accommodate the full local range sits inside that span.
All of these palettes can be tested against a garment, and checked for print problems before committing to a run, in the design studio.
