I was talking with a fellow coach today and he asked me a uniform question that I wasn't sure of. I figured that I would post it and see what I can get from other coaches that may know the answer. Here is the question:
Why do we, as soccer teams, wear white jerseys at home and dark jerseys on the road? Football does the opposite.
His reasoning behind the question is the new jersey rule that we are all affected by today. He went out and bought new uniforms and was able to spend more money on customized away uniforms due to the "plainness" of the home uniforms. He went on to say that home fans will not be able to see the new uniforms because he wears white at home.
Other than the fact that NFHS states that we wear white at home and dark jerseys on the road, why do we wear white jerseys at home and dark jerseys on the road?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
