About the Los Angeles Dodgers palette

The Los Angeles Dodgers were founded in 1883 and compete in the National League of the Major League Baseball. Their primary colour, Dodger Blue #005A9C, is a dark, saturated indigo.

Major League Baseball carries the longest unbroken visual traditions in North American sport, and several clubs use colours that have barely shifted in a century. That continuity makes the exact value matter: a near-miss on a heritage colour reads as wrong in a way a newer brand would not.

Los Angeles is also home to Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Lakers, which means local broadcast and print work often has to carry more than one of these palettes.
