Since 1964, Topps has associated specific color schemes with specific teams. For example, in 1972, every Pirates card had a light blue border. This is an attempt to find out how closely Topps was able to match the colors it chose to a club's team colors through the years.
For each team, I have selected only the Topps base sets in which Topps used color combinations based on the team that was featured. I ignored those sets that used color schemes that had nothing to do with the team shown (for example, 1975 or 1997).
Here is what I have so far:
Arizona Diamondbacks
Atlanta Braves
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox
Chicago Cubs
Chicago White Sox
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Indians
Colorado Rockies
Detroit Tigers
Florida Marlins
Kansas City Royals
Los Angeles Angels
Los Angeles Dodgers
Milwaukee Brewers
Minnesota Twins
New York Mets
Oakland A's
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
St. Louis Cardinals
San Diego Padres
San Francisco Giants
Tampa Bay Rays
Texas Rangers
Toronto Blue Jays
