Working with New York team colours
New York supports 3 teams across National Football League and Major League Baseball, using 7 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 Yankees Navy #0C2340 and the lightest is Spotlight White #FFFFFF, a contrast of 15.79:1 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.
