Your Colors, Your Tower: How Choosing Your Tower's Finish Works

A field tower is going to stand on your field for twenty years or more. It shouldn't look like it wandered in from a construction site — it should look like it belongs to your program, with your colors front and center. Here's how choosing the color of your tower actually works when you order from us.

It starts with your colors

Every tower we build is made to order, so the finish is your call from day one. There's no default "contractor grey" you have to settle for and no upcharge for putting your school colors on it — color is simply part of the build.

• Tell us your colors — most programs lead with their primary school color across the structure.

• Bring color codes if you have them — a PMS or RAL number gets you an exact match. No codes? We'll match to your school's colors.

• It's your design — if you've seen a tower finish you liked, send us a photo and we'll build from there.

One color or two?

Most of the look comes down to one question: a single bold color, or a two-tone scheme?

• Single color — the whole tower in your primary. Clean, bold, and the most popular choice.

• Two-tone — your primary on the structure with an accent color on the railings, platform, or trim. It adds contrast and a finished, intentional look.

• Not sure? — we'll help you pick what reads best from the stands and on camera.

A finish built to protect those colors

Picking the color is the fun part — making it last is our job. We finish every tower with a multi-coat urethane system inspired by the coatings used on offshore rigs, then build up several coats so the color stays rich instead of chalking out after a couple of seasons. And because we build in steel, that finish has something solid to grip — part of why the material matters as much as the color.

A few things worth thinking about

• Contrast and visibility — a darker tower behind your director tends to read well on game film, while very light colors can wash out under stadium lights.

• Match your facilities — pulling the same colors as your press box or stadium ties the whole field together.

• Easy upkeep — steel plus a quality coating means an occasional wash keeps it looking sharp for years.

The bottom line

You've built a program you're proud of, and your tower should show it. When we spec your tower, we walk through colors with you so what shows up on your field looks the way you pictured it. Curious what the rest of the process looks like? Here's what happens from quote to delivery.
