Colors

User:71.139.191.40 has made a couple of changes, and I want to point out why they're wrong:

• The Bobcats don't have silver in their uniforms, but rather a bluish gray, which is already in use.
• The Warriors' colors were off, here's the proof.
• The Clippers' main color is blue, as it is the main color on their home jerseys.
• The Magic don't feature silver in their home and away jerseys at all.
• The Kings' secondary color, silver, is already used for the second heading, therefore another color is used for the text in the first heading.
• White is also a color of the Spurs.

Please leave it like that and don't change it, as the colors are just as they need to be right now. ● 8~Hype ^@ 10:18, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

The Warriors colors I posted were accurate, here's the proof. The Clippers have always had red as their main color since moving to LA; look at their home uniforms before 2001 and their road uniforms since 1984. The Bobcats and Magic do have silver, look closer; the Bobcats' blue is clearly a different color. Please pay more attention to the logos and uniforms of the teams, because you seem to be throwing arbitrary standards out there. 71.139.191.40 (talk) 21:00, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I accurately documented my changes, you just claim yours are right. I pay very close attention to the colors, you just do your own things. You need to find some better arguments before making changes. ● 8~Hype ^@ 21:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

You are projecting your actions onto me. I'm following what I see on official websites and images and in the games themselves. You need to find better arguments before insisting your standards on Wikipedia. 71.139.191.40 (talk) 21:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, you insist on having gold as a Celtics color when they clearly do not have that color on their normal uniforms, home or away, only in small bits on the logo and occasional non-standard alternate uniform. At the same time, silver is in the logos for the Bobcats and Magic yet you insist on not having those colors shown. Either apply the same standard to all teams or leave the edits to people who actually know the colors of teams outside of Boston. 71.139.191.40 (talk) 21:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Gold is featured on the St. Patrick's Day jersey of the Celtics, silver isn't featured on any jersey of the Bobcats or Magic. ● 8~Hype ^@ 22:08, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I just checked the NBA store. Silver is indeed on the normal everyday uniforms of the Bobcats (pinstripes between other colors, one of which is black) and Magic (silver star on collar, borders of lettering and numbers) as opposed to a one-time holiday-based outing, and the blue uniforms for the Clippers are still listed as alternate—unless the blues are becoming their primary road uniforms for the upcoming season, red should remain first or at least more prominent than white. Also, why do you insist on changing the Warriors colors when my edits match the exact colors of the official logo provided for Wikipedia? It is obvious you are reverting my edits out of personal pride rather than what is clearly shown by official sources. 71.139.191.40 (talk) 23:17, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Out of curiosity, why should the single-use St. Pat's jerseys determine the Celtics' colours instead of something more notable like the logo?

You don't even know how much I have contributed to Wikipedia. I don't make disruptive edits at all, except for maybe 5 during the playoffs. The silver on the Bobcats' jerseys is the fifth color behind bluish gray, orange, black and white, and basically unnoticable, and silver is certainly not the color to be used for the text of the first heading, just because a single star is slightly gray. Also, I am basing the colors of the Warriors on the jerseys of the Warriors (link to NBA store), and the logo on Wikipedia doesn't always have to be the correct color. ● 8~Hype ^@ 10:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

It's still obvious that silver and red are more prominent for their respective teams than gold is for the Celtics, you have to at least admit that (and for the record, blue is not "bluish-gray", big difference); a careful look at each team's uniforms clearly shows which colors are important for which team (specifically road uniforms, since every team generally wears white at home, even the Lakers on occasion). And the Warriors jersey you linked to isn't much different from the logo on Wikipedia; if anything, the jersey photo may be less accurate due to lighting considerations while the logo image better shows the exact intentions of the designer. There really is no reason to take this whole color thing personally; you've shown dedication to one team and I respect that, but keep in mind that this website is for everyone–you're not the only "expert" using this place–and that deep knowledge for one team doesn't necessarily mean ownership over what other teams have. 71.139.191.40 (talk) 15:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
