Minor football pet peeve of mine....
....Football teams who wear their white uniforms at home. I don't know, I just find that boring. You're at home before thousands of your adoring fans. Wear your team colors, dammit!

1. I hated it when they made that change
Used to be that the home team wore their colors and the away team wore white. I agree with you!

3. Isn't that only the Cowboys?
I not a Dallas fan but I think it's smart. You're always dressed the same, home or away so there is some "branding." Plus your fans get treated to a variety of colors from visiting teams.

9. The Redskins and the Dolphins do too.
I guess for the Dolphins it makes some sense--in a warm climate, you make the opponent wear the darker colors. But the Redskins?

Then again, they're the Redskins.

5. I'm actually more annoyed at special 'throwback' uniforms
Schmaltzy stunts to put more money in the till. :grr: Teams should have a road jersey, and a home jersey - I don't care which is white, but be consistent...

6. Boise State exception here.
They should almost be required to wear white at home. With that blue field it's gotta be a bit hard at times to see the players in their home blue unis.

7. I don't like it either
The Cowboys were the first team to do it, and I know a few others have picked up the habit since. I prefer the colors, personally. :)
