What seems more natural?

Wearing you're colored jerseys at home, or wearing them on the road?

For basketball and hockey, they wear the white ones at home. For football it's the colored.

What should it be?

home whites.

The colors help identify the team on the road.

The colors help identify the team on the road.

Never thought of it that way, but it still f*cks with my head when I see the home football team wear white.

I believe that, historically, baseball teams wore their whites at home becuase white was considered more dressy.  Football, on the other hand, was more about wearing the team colors in front of the home fans.  Each sounds like a good reason to me.

Good reasons.  Also, baseball has the city name on the road jerseys and the mascot at home.  Again, to help identify the visiting team.

Traditionally, when playing at home, teams wore uniforms that were mostly white with trim in team colors and when playing away, they wore uniforms that were mostly gray with trim in team colors. Aside from the obvious need to distinguish one team from the other, conventional wisdom held that it was more difficult to properly launder uniforms while on a road trip, thus the "road grays" helped to hide accumulated soil. This convention continued well after its original premise was nullified by the issuance of multiple uniforms and the growth of the laundromat industry. Starting in the 1970s, with the advent of synthetic fabrics, teams began using more color in their uniforms, notably the Kansas City Athletics in 1963, the San Diego Padres unusual brown and yellow scheme beginning in 1969, and the Houston Astros' rainbow stripes in the mid-1970s. In the late 1970s, the Pittsburgh Pirates began a trend of multiple combinations of differently colored jerseys and trousers and caps (with the options of black, yellow, and white with pin stripes). At one point in the 1970s, the Cleveland Indians had an all-red uniform.

this thread title made me lol and I waited a few trips back and forth before opening.

A little disappointing after my buildup, but I have to say I like the Home teams wearing colors in football.  Not all schools choose to, but I like seeing our purples, michigan's blues, Nebraska's sickening red's and Oregon's eyeball exploding acid-test colors.  The home team deserves the choice.  Football jerseys just seem more important than basketball jerseys because of the size of the field/number of spectators.  I'm not sure if that really makes sense but there is a fundamental difference between b-ball and football.

I agree with wearing school colors at home.  What's the point of chanting "purple power" when your team is out on the field in their white uniforms.  and let's not ponder the "white power" chant...
