Blues vs. Hawks

[jman077]

Well, one argument is that, if the home team wears colored and the road team white, you see the exact same colors every game at home. So if you're a Blues fan, you see blue vs white all the time. Aswear if you have the home team in white and the road team in their colored unis, you have white vs a different color all the time (except of course for repeated colors on various teams.) A lot less boring that way.

This is, as legend has it, why the Dallas Cowboys wore white at home originally. Source

hmm..call this strange if you will, but...

maybe the darker jerseys can affect performance.

i remember playing NHL08, (i know not exactly the best judge) but still..

when i was the home team (in darks) it was a huge psycological advantage for me, cause the areas close net seemed more stacked, crowded, and jumbled with dark jerseys, instead of white jerseys on white ice, so there seemed to be more presence near the net on offense, and more defense on the other end.

if anyone has any idea what i am saying, could you see my point?

As much as I want to shoot this statement down as completely moronic, I can kind of see what your saying. I still think it's a bit of a stretch, but at the same time I can see where your going with it. Easier visibility could give an extremely small advantage to the team in darks.

wow.

I was at the game and it didn't even realize that the teams weren't in the right jerseys. I guess I'm just so used to old time hockey that it didn't register.
