p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Jersey Colors: The Photogrpahers Friend ... And Foe | |
Sanity check...
When I show up at a game and I see the teams practicing, I kind of have an idea how much I'm going to like my photos by the colours the teams are wearing.
Some of it is because of lighting considerations: the dreaded black jersey/night game or white jerseys, sunny noon game: and some of it is just pure aesthetics.
All things being equal (and that is an important caveat) I will almost always prefer photographing a team in cardinal red vs. a team in light cappuccino brown, for example.
Here's My List of Jersey Colors I Will Ban When I am Global Commissioner of All Sports (GCOAS)
Black
Gray
Brown (all shades)
Dark Green/Olive Green/ (shamrock Green is fine)
Dijon Mustard Yellow
Rust
Flo Anything
White with pure black numbers and piping, no accents
High School Gold that really isn't gold but looks like Yellow Trying to Hard
Cammo
Purple/White with no accents; needs yellow
I will also ban plexi helmet visors for football players -- but that is for another day.
Favorites?
Foils?
Am I alone in my dread?
