Is wearing white at home in warm weather really an advantage

I played I never noticed a difference.

Maybe down south it might be different

even if not a virgin

advantage, go for it. When it's 90 degrees on the field, it's hot.

Many Miami players had noticed the Pats being visibly tired by the 3rd Qtr.

...

Gonna be almost 80 on Sunday....they need every advantage they can get.

what uniforms you're going to be wearing at home?

a lot of teams which usually do not choose white at home have been wearing white. I do remember the game you are mentioning with the Giants, but I think they only did that because it was their first game with their new uniforms.

it is poor form.

Correct. It's then time for autumn colors.

the Giants wore white at home.......not sure exactly why that was done.

We also wore white versus the Cowboys, forcing them to wear their blue jerseys which back in the 70s/80s was their bad luck uniforms.....we stopped doing that in 1988.

White at home the entire season.

at home since 1987, back in the days when Parcells wanted to force the Cowboys to wear their "bad luck" blue jerseys. Aside from those Cowboys games in the 80s and that Cardinals game in 2000, the Giants wore white at home for the entire 1967 and 1980 seasons, and that's it.

Miami as mentioned, but also San Diego. They did it for their game against Seattle this past week.

Here were the teams that did it just this past Sunday:

Tampa Bay
Carolina
San Diego
Buffalo


Jacksonville also does it too. Even Philadelphia has done it wearing their home whites in September thinking back to the '06 comeback game. Arizona before they got the dome would do it for certain home games.

Any little advantage you can get I guess. It seems to be a very long tradition of this happening.

Technically was a road game, but the "Katrina Game" against the Saints

They still do it occasionally.

Ron Dixon was scared by thunder (game got delayed) and Tiki had a crazy touchdown.

All you ever wanted to know, and more.
WAH 1957-2014 - ( New Window )

season of '67. Just wasn't sure WHEN in the late '60s it occurred

I don't think it's an idea that needs to be brought back.

alot now.Not sure why since they are in a dome stadium ..The Eagles wore white against us a few times in the 80's .I think in 85,86,88 and 89 .Seems the skins always wore white when we played in RFK .

finale vs Dallas, but the NFL wouldn't allow it, because they didn't give six months notice or some stupid reason. Now teams announce their jersey schedule in June and are not allowed to deviate from it.

not for weather reasons, but so Cowboys fans could see all of the different uniforms from the other teams around the league, instead of just the Cowboys vs. another team wearing white every week.

That's why all my gunfights are at sunset, with the sun to my back....

the giants wore white at home for the 1980 season ..

FYI Philly is wearing white at home this year until their green uniforms come in. Nike didn't have them ready in time,

(might have been a Fassel year, or early Coughlin year)where the Giants were facing Arizona in Arizona. The NFL coverage guys did some kind of heat test on the Giants' helmet (metallic blue) and the Cardinals' helmet (white). The reporter said it was cooler in the Cards helmet than in the Giants. I think we lost that game and maybe why this unscientific test stuck with me. Anyone remember this?
