About National Football League Team Colors
NFL identities are built for impact. With only one game a week and enormous television audiences, football teams treat their colors as high-contrast heraldry meant to read instantly from the top row of a stadium and through a helmet's single-color shell. That constraint pushes the league toward bold, saturated pairings — navy and silver, black and gold, red and white — anchored by a helmet color that rarely changes.
The league keeps 32 clubs across two conferences and eight divisions, and each team maintains brand guidelines governing the primary, secondary, and accent colors applied to helmets, jerseys, and pants. The values on this page are each team's current published brand colors, given in hex, RGB, and CMYK so designers can match them precisely across digital and physical media.
Broken out by division, the NFL's color logic becomes clear: rivalries that play twice a year tend to force strong contrast within a division, which is why neighbors like the AFC North or NFC East rarely share a primary hue.
Color Trends
NFL teams favor bold, high-contrast combinations like navy and silver, black and gold, or red and white, usually built around a fixed helmet color that anchors the identity.
