but wouldn't opposite colors be a better way of standing out? when you see Padres colors you instantly think Padres. Same with Chargers. Imagine if the Steelers played in San Diego instead of the Chargers, there would be no separation of the sports, all advertising would be universal between the two teams which IMO would be a bad thing. Having one set of colors for the city would be easier to manage, but think of making money, with each season there's complete color changes therefore more for consumers to actually buy.
