The idea that we need white at home so that home fans can see a diversity in uniform designs no longer holds up.

I'm a season ticket holder for a Jr hockey league team. They used to wear white at home. Now the home team wears their black jerseys. Every game is almost exactly the same unless it's a special jersey night. Military, cancer, Ohio state,, etc. It does get boring. And I'm not watching road games on my phone (because ushl charges through Hockey TV). So yes it does a bit. Not a huge issue. But it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly sure they are wearing white only because they have a white jersey ready and Birminham doesn't, at least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team dressed in white always looks better; and this honour should go to the home team. I remember being so impressed by the beautiful sharpness of the Giants' uniforms whenever they would wear white at home to jinx the Cowboys. And I was so happy to find this picture of a 1967 game in which they wore white at home against New Orleans. White uniforms at home just look right, in ways that almost defy explanation. They are so deeply aesthetically pleasing because they seem to answer a psychological craving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona and San Antonio don't need a change shirt but I'd be surprised if we don't see those next year. The name is in honor of the firefighters but that shouldn't be used to limit uniform options.

It wouldn’t be but mono-green would be awful. Also? The gold Hotshots jersey might be my favourite in the league.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think that San Diego should have been wearing brown socks. I didn't like the fact that both teams were wearing yellow socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
