While the color schemes of our local sports teams are different, owing to the varying natures of each sport, there are some similarities in how each team markets its identity as a franchise situated in Salt Lake City. Even the logo of the Utah Jazz ( http://www.nba.com/jazz/index_main.html) and the official Salt Lake City flag (attached) share an emphasis on Salt Lake City's location in the Intermountain West. You are quite correct in noting that, when sports teams and other organizations have overlapping color schemes or share similar marketing themes, they can help create a distinct marketing identity for a particular city or region.

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
