Colors
Lincolning, if you're going to do this, please use  or   after the team name. A majority of the colors were not compliant with WP:CONTRAST. Another option is to use NCAA color cell, which doesn't add a border and automatically takes into contrast of either black or white font. You can see my example here. If you want to use a secondary color, use NCAA secondary color cell. Thanks, Corkythe hornetfan  (ping me) 18:27, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying and do use NCAA color cell when appropriate Corkythe hornetfan  . However, as you can see from this the colors were already similar, I just used the CollegePrimaryStyle instead of simple colors. FYI, this is a rampant issue on these pages. I originally used only used NCAA color cell, but had it repeatedly changed by other users. Lincolning (talk) 19:44, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Using the Colour Contrast Analyser, East Carolina's CollegePrimaryStyle meets the WCAG 2 AA Compliant requirements and WCAG 2 AAA 18+. I believe this is sufficient, but let me know if you disagree. Lincolning (talk) 20:02, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That's fine... UCF is "sort of... compliant" as well as East Carolina. UCF is easier to read than East Carolina (it's too bold and can hardly be read). I like consistency (it's an OCD thing ) and tend to use CollegePrimaryStyle but keeping the fonts in black/white (just my personal preference). I believe Frietjes has fixed the issue now with NCAA color cell. Before, it wouldn't do automatic contrast but now it does. I'm game to leave them with the secondary color font. I did change Cincinnati's color to the secondary color to separate from UConn's closely-related colors. Corkythe hornetfan  (ping me) 22:36, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The compliance protocol states that it should reach at least WCAG 2.0's AA level, and AAA level when feasible, which UCF meets. I note that Illinois Fighting Illini for Illinois is not compliant and does not show white as on 2016–17 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season. Can't get it to change no matter what.
