2013 A F C South Preview
The PiRate Ratings kickoff our coverage of the National Football League with our AFC West Division preview.
We have added a new wrinkle to our coverage this year. In the past, friends of ours have asked us if we knew how to recreate the exact colors of their favorite team so that they could print those colors on their computer. We have found this information from multiple sites in the last couple of months, and we are going to show you the RGB numbers so you can replicate those colors. These can be used in graphics programs, but it can easily be used in MS-Word and MS-Excel.
Here are the official colors for the AFC South
