Why most uniforms look blue? But some purple…

The uniforms, whether it is football, baseball, gymnastics, look blue. However, on the same screen, for example, some baseball hats are purple. Please explain?

I believe it’s because some are brand new and some aren’t. The hats caught my eye earlier but I don’t think that is abnormal. Some guys rotate in a new hat more often than others.

Watching the game last night and what I continuously thought was, “why are the jerseys blue?” It’s not coincidence

But even like the shin guards are blue, some players jackets are blue but other players oven mitts purple, some cleats purple. I cannot imagine it is a TV thing

It only looks like that on TV. In person they are purple.

Ok, so in person the blue ones are purple. What color are the purple ones?

Type of camera/lens, lighting, angles, day/night game. You see this in football as well. Lot of variables.

The teddy bear's jersey was purple last night? GEAUX Tigers!

One of the mound meetings with the infielders, one hat was purple, the rest bluish

Like, wow. Like, they do, like, look blue, so like, why not wear a different, like, shade of, like, purple?

My 15yo asked what blue team we were playing last night. I know it's us, so I said bruh that's purple.... But on the feed, not far off. Maybe it's the cameras, but it wasn't blatantly purple

here ya go. Why is the guy's hat on the right purple, but the others blue?

Before I let this die… After the picture showing an example, nobody has anymore to add?

I blame Nike. They aren’t using our actual royal purple but some abomination.
The guy on the right has a different hat is my only thought.

Sometimes they’ve used Woolite for darks, sometimes they haven’t.

You should because it’s a TV thing. Even in that picture, the bill of Dickinson’s hat is purple, but the rest looks blue like the other players. Do you think Dickinson was wearing a purple and blue hat? I can answer that…. He wasn’t. He along with the rest were wearing purple hats and grey jerseys.
There are tons of variables that can have an effect on this. The color or temperature of the lighting, the direction the light is coming from, shadows, the direction the player is facing, exposure and other camera settings, etc.
I say this as someone who does videography and photography on the side. I can assure you, the hats were purple and the jerseys were grey.
