In Chicago, I love the sense of pride in the Bears blue and orange whom they have taken from the University of Illinois. Personally I would hate the Cubs to give up Cubbie Blue but I think the sense of city pride would be huge. Take care! --- ryan.burke@phoenix.gov wrote: Dear Andrew, Thank you for sharing your e-mail with the Mayor's office. The Mayor asked that I provide a response to your proposed idea. While very creative in its approach, I think your plan would encounter some challenges when one team to change their colors to match those of other teams. In Arizona for instance, we have three of our four teams (Cardinals, D-Backs and Coyotes) which share a red/white/black color scheme. The Suns, however, have been traditionally orange and blue (which are great colors for them), and fans would be unhappy with a change to red/white/black colors. I'm sure Chicago would have similar challenges - think of the Cubbies shifting to White Sox colors??? We wish you luck with your proposal.

I wanted to share an idea I have that I think would be good for all the major cities in the United States. I think that it would be a good idea for each city to have its own unique color scheme for its professional sports teams. This would be a great way to show a new sense of pride to your city. I am sure this would be tough to pull off but I think if there was a fair way for each city to select its own color scheme, in the end, each city would gain more pride and each team would profit from the Marketing of these colors. Thanks for your help with my idea! Andrew Ziola Chicago, IL Love, Z E-mail me if you have anything you want to post on this page
