About the Arizona Cardinals palette
The Arizona Cardinals were founded in 1898 and compete in the National Football Conference of the National Football League. Their primary colour, Cardinal Red #97233F, is a dark, saturated red.
The National Football League divides its thirty-two teams between two conferences, and uniform colour is regulated more tightly here than in any other major league: a team must register its colours with the league, and opposing teams are required to wear contrasting jerseys so that broadcast audiences can tell them apart.
Within the Western Division the Cardinals face Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Those are the matchups where two palettes appear in one frame, so they are the pairings most worth checking for a clash.
