knuckler,

I got this info about the New Orleans Pelicans colors from a Pelican Historian, S. Derby Gisclair, author of "Baseball in New Orleansl".

During the period when they were a St. Louis Cardinal's farm team (1940 -
1942), their uniforms mirrored the Cardinals -- white/red (home) and
grey/red (road).

When they were a Brooklyn Dodgers farm club (1943 - 1944), their uniforms
were white/royal blue (home) and grey/royal blue (road).

When they became a Boston Red Sox farm team (1946 - 1947), their uniforms
were white/navy blue (home) and grey/navy blue (road).

When they became a Pittsburgh Pirates farm team (1948 - 1956) their uniforms
were white/black & gold (home) and grey/black (road).

When they were a New York Yankees farm team (1957 - 1958), their uniforms
were white/navy pinstripes (home) and grey/navy (road).
