every single year we choose to not have an advantage because we want to look good. Last week and this week are examples of white actually makes a lot of sense.

You're kidding, right?

Haha pitt white out

Isn't a "white out" with psu slightly redundant? I mean, I've seen more people of color at a a klan rally than at psu games.

You do realize under NCAA rules the home team has to wear the colored jerseys, the away has to wear white?

that's only been the rule for like 80 years.

Except fo Georgia tech and LSU. I believe that the away team has to agree to wearing colored jerseys on the road

I don't want to see to Pitt start wearing white at home. But, I'm pretty sure any team can wear white so long as they give the opposing team proper notice.

the other team would have to agree to wear the dark jerseys, which they wouldn't do. It's not just a matter of giving notice, because the rules require one team to have color the other to have white no matter what. They can;t both be in white. At any rate, all the pants and jerseys now are hi-tech dry-fit material, the players wear breathable base layers and the real heat is unavoidable as it comes from all the equipment, especially having your head crammed into a tight fitting, heavy helmet for 4 hours. I can't believe there's even a thread on this issue, or that I'm wasting any of my time posting responses in it.

It is miserable right now. Hotter than hell, humidity has to be like 188%. This is what is going to be like tomorrow. But there isn't much sun, right? So....light, dark, camouflage, stripes, I don't think it matters.

Don't think that is the rule. I think the home team can wear white or light colors if the visiting team agrees to wear the dark. But don't quote me on it.

 

[deepelemblues]

the lighter colors reflect light and thus heat and darker colors absorb light and thus heat thing is not strictly true

Actually both can wear non white with approval. USC and UCLA played a game not long ago wher both wore home jerseys
