USFL Paint Specs

United States Football League: 1983 through 1985

Click on a number (or numbers) next to a team name to see an official United States Football League Paint Spec sheet.  The USFL was active between 1983 and 1985, and had some of the more interesting colors, logos, and uniforms in sports.  Since part of the SSUR's interest is the preservation of team colors, the following is what we have thus far for the USFL franchises.

Special thanks goes to Tom Hefner for supplying his collection of USFL Paint Spec sheets to the SSUR.  Also, thanks goes to the "This is the USFL" website at http://www.thisistheusfl.com/.  You can see USFL uniform examples, along with the Paint Spec Sheets at http://www.thisistheusfl.com/1battlecolorshomeuni.htm.

*** Check out USFL.info! ***

Note: Many of the USFL franchises used custom color mixes to represent their colors.  We are attempting to represent these custom colors as best as possible; a couple of them (Jacksonville's Burnt Orange and Philadelphia/Baltimore's Crimson) have been recreated as close as possible to the original intent.  The others will be nailed down at a later date.
