You know like with football the dark jersies are the home jerzies and the whites are away.

Home fans know your colors while home fans may not know colors of opponents, thus visitors wear their colors...

I've always thought OU should wear the crimson roadies at home for non-conference games.

Oh, and if Nike throws enough money at us, we might end up with an 'alternate' uniform. :eek:

football is one of the only sports where the home wears the dark. Everyone else is pretty much white/home, dark/road.

They did that for at least one game back in the early 80s.

Hockey used to do that. They switched to home darks 2 years ago I think.

If for no other reason it's just to mess with your mind. :)
