Infinite loop
@Ahecht: There is a glitch somewhere. For example, 2006 Chicago Rush season is showing timeout errors. A test in my sandbox with contents:

gives script error "The time allocated for running scripts has expired".

The reason is: I'm not sure what is wanted so am posting this. Johnuniq (talk) 03:59, 22 June 2018 (UTC) PAGE ]]) 04:05, 22 June 2018 (UTC) PAGE ]]) 15:56, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The above calls Module:Gridiron color with team = "Chicago Rush".
 * Function get_colors sets  to a table with
 * It calls function get_year which executes  which returns "Chicago Rush".
 * Because that is a string,  calls itself which gives an infinite loop.
 * Because that is a string,  calls itself which gives an infinite loop.
 * Thanks. That's an error in the /data module. The main module is designed to recursively follow redirects, so it's doing the right thing, but the data should never have a year-specific color scheme redirect back to the main color scheme. I fixed that line, and I'll check for others like it. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|TALK

Accessibility problems
There was an issue brought up at Template talk:Gridiron primary color by that many of the color combination generated by this template fail WP:COLORS.

I've enabled the contrast check function in Module:Gridiron color/sandbox, which is used by Gridiron primary style/sandbox and Gridiron alt primary style/sandbox, to address the accessibility issues. You can test it at Template:Gridiron primary style/testcases and Template:Gridiron alt primary style/testcases. The module checks the contrast of the text color against the background color, and if it's less than a certain threshold, it first tries setting the text color to black, then to white, then it tries the alternative color scheme, and finally, if all else fails, it reverts to default colors.

I've set the contrast threshold to 4.5, which is the limit for all text under the WCAG 2.0 AA standard and the limit for large text under the WCAG 2.0 AAA standard. It's also the highest value for which either black or white text should always work, regardless of the background color (so it should never have to use the alternative or default color schemes). However, if there's consensus to change this to another value, I can do so.

Let me know if you have any feedback on this feature before I implement it in the main module. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 16:21, 22 June 2018 (UTC) PAGE ]]) 14:43, 16 May 2019 (UTC) PAGE ]]) 22:57, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * After almost a year with no objections, I've enabled this feature with a contrast requirement of 3, just to see if this garners any complaints. If not, I'll bump it up to 4.5 at some point in the future. --Ahecht ([[User talk:Ahecht|TALK
 * I came to this page to raise a concern about some color schemes having too low a contrast (specifically, the Providence Steam Roller style). I would strongly support enabling this feature at a 4.5 threshold. Then if anybody wants to propose a new color scheme for a given team with an appropriate level of contrast, they'd be welcome to do so (eg, in the case of Providence Steam Rollers, it would be pretty easy to change to, which is the same hue but at a different value and hits 4.5 contrast with white and black.) - - mathmitch7 (talk/contribs) 13:20, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I updated the sandbox version to 4.5. You can see the effect this has on the Providence Steam Rollers over at Template:Gridiron primary style/testcases. If you like, I can implement that change in the main template and see if anyone complains. --Ahecht ([[User talk:Ahecht|TALK

 * I have made the changes to the module data sandbox . See tests:
 * # Jacksonville Jaguars colors do not change. Possibly because the year periods overlap. ❌
 * # San Diego Chargers is a replacement not an addition btw. Change is not tested..
 * # New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts: copied primary color into secondary. THis does not show in the tests, probably because the test is not correct for this? (Change is not tested this way).
 * Because of unexpected behaviour re Jacksonville Jaguars, I suggest to not make this edit.
 * Also, the second set of changes should be tested better (effectively). I leave the request active to invite other editors to check. -DePiep (talk) 16:04, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

 * I have made different test (using Gridiron primary style/test). Todo: test tertiary color (how & when used?). I conclude:
 * Jacksonville: (see code) variants with overlapping periods (years)
 * San Diego: no changes visible between live colors and sandbox colors.
 * New York Jets (all years): no changes visible between live colors and sandbox colors.
 * Indianapolis Colts: no changes visible between live colors and sandbox colors.

 * Jacksonville: The line  overlapped  . I fixed this to.
 * San Diego: The lines  and   both started at the year 1988 which caused another overlap error. The original request did not specify to remove the latter line of code.
 * New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts: The secondary colors for both teams for all seasons have also been altered to fit the original request.

When did this change from white to black? White text is both more readable on the template and a more natural choice given their color scheme.► Chris Nelson Holla! 02:27, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * There was a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Football_League/Archive_17 that did not result in a consensus for a different scheme, but basically white text on aqua background is hard for color-blind users to read and fails accessibility guidelines at WP:CONTRAST. I argued to move away from the black text on aqua background, but other users preferred to keep it in order to stay with the aqua background.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  19:22, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Ditch the pound sign (#)
fyi, I've found that including the pound sign (#), also called the "number sign", with the color code inhibits the appearance of the colors on the test table.

 * The change you made removed all colors from all NFL templates that use this module, so I've reverted your edits. There may be an issue with the test table coding. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b> (C)  18:15, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * well thank you! and apologies. I have been trying to fix that table for several days. I noticed one entry for which one color, red, appeared. When I checked, that entry had no pound sign. It made me even more confident when I compared with another data module at Module:College color/data, and none of its hex codes has a pound sign, so that led me to remove all the pound signs from this data template. "Back to the old drawing board", guess I'll have to keep testing.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 19:01, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * you were correct. The issue was with the test table coding in a supporting module, Gridiron color/contrast, which generates the test table. It was adding the pound sign, so that hex code entries went to the test table with two pound signs, as in "##FFFFFF", instead of "#FFFFFF". Seems to be fixed now.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 21:21, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This is all useful information. This is also the first time I'm seeing this, as I just got home from work. I had not had time to see this until now, but I will take the time to thoroughly read through it so I understand it better. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:49, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems a little weird, but all we have to remember is that when adding/changing colors to this "gridiron color" data module, the pound signs (#) are needed with the hex codes, and when adding/changing colors to the "college color" data module, the pound signs should not be included.

Ottawa Redblacks team color wiki-code formatting at Module:Gridiron color/data
Would any editor object if I were to change the wiki-code formatting for the Ottawa Redblacks' team colors over at Module:Gridiron color/data to, , and (in that order)? Yes, I'm aware that the Redblacks' primary jersey color is, but most sources I have found list as the first color (which generally is the club's primary color). My sources for this claim are the 2017 CFL Guide & Record Book (the most recent official CFL Guide & Record Book available), the Redblacks' 2017 Media Guide, & this article from OttawaRedBlacks.com that explains that the club's colors are, in order, red, black, and white. I'm asking for comments from other editors. I promise not to change the color codes unless there is consensus to do so, or if any other editor has no objections to me doing so. Please feel free to comment. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 05:24, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * No objection here. And let me thank you for joining the template editors among us! You've shown yourself to be a responsible editor who makes good edits here. It's important to remember that there are some edits that require the input from several editors, and there are some that can be boldly made without explicit consensus. You'll get a feel for that, and you will make a few mistakes along the way. That's how this project gets improved! Hope your TE user right becomes permanent. Thanks again, and Cheers!  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 16:58, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * And in case it helps, here is my toward permanency of your TE user right.  P.I. Ellsworth    ed.  put'r there 17:26, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, well if no one else has any objections, then I will go ahead and change it. I found a better source for the Redblacks' exact shade of red. It's, per http://api.cfl.ca//images//logos//ott.svg. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 17:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I object to making red the first colour. The logo, uniforms, and website all feature black as the dominant colour. Black has been the dominant colour since the 1960s. Red is listed first in media guides because the team's name is the "Redblacks." I don't know why we keep changing this or why this keeps coming up. Cmm3 (talk) 19:31, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, well this is the input I was looking for. By the way, I reverted back the HTML color codes for the Ottawa Redblacks over at Module:Gridiron color/data so that is the predominant color, and that  is the alternate primary color. My edit diff is here. My source for the Redblacks' colors is OttawaRedblacks.com. That source states that the colors in order are, red, black, and white, but it also shows their primary jersey color being black. That's why I reverted it back. You're welcome. :) Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 20:16, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for confirming, I see the changes now. Cmm3 (talk) 23:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Proposed historical Denver Broncos color code changes
Would any other editor who possesses the template-editor right object if I were to change the historical HTML color codes for the Denver Broncos over at Module:Gridiron color/data? All I am proposing to change is the Broncos' colors so that orange is the primary color and blue is the secondary color for the period from 1962–1996. My proposed color code changes would look like this: Would any other editor with WP:TPE object? If so, please feel free to comment. I'm looking to build WP:CONSENSUS on the Broncos' historical HTML color codes. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 04:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Do you have any objections to these proposed color code changes for the Denver Broncos over at Module:Gridiron color/data, Eagles247? I'm willing to hold off on unilaterally changing them until or unless I receive feedback/comments from other editors such as yourself and/or others. I'm sincerely trying to build consensus so I don't constantly change them, which I better understand now is the main reason why I lost my template-editor rights in the first place.

Color changes resulted in unreadable links at Template:Jaguars2021DraftPicks
