Why in Hockey, do Home teams wear dark visitors uniforms rather than their original white uniforms?

Dark colors are typically more intimidating.

I'd say the colors are more orange than gold.  I don't think anyone would mix up the Bengals and the Steelers, so I think it's a non-issue.  Plus, how many teams use red and white in their color pallete?  By my count, there's the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Ottawa Senators, and Carolina Hurricanes.  And, to the guy who has never seen a black duck, I do believe that Duck Hunt on the original Nintendo had a few black ducks on them.  I still am not drawing a link between the Pens and the Ducks, other than the fact that they both have birds with webbed feet as mascots.  However, in a back alley brawl, Iceberg would slaughter Wildwing easily.

That's because the home team always wears white jerseys and the crowd wants to match them. The only exception is the Lakers. The home crowd wears yellow at their games.

Hockey is a cover up for Honkey. Its is a White sport, hence NBA stands for Nothing But Africans, and NFL is for Negros For Life and MLB is for Majority Latin Baseball. So it makes sense that the NHL is National Honkey league!

Hockey Rules ! Watched as much as I could, uummmm.......moved the first of May and wasn't able to get OLN, was not a happy camper, But once NBC came in and televised the last 4 games I was glued to the TV. \nDon't ya just love seeing the respect the players give each other with the traditional end of game handshake ? What other sport shows that kind of respect ?\n\nIs it October yet ??

Why is this Question in the Hockey section?

Ever try reading a FULL responce. They aren't going to put in new rules, espically ones that dumb, because they don't want to lose FANS. My comment was that with the scoring being up this season it wasn't new rules this season but rather rules being enforced. All I was saying was they still didn't put new rules in. They never will. You think they would get new fans by doing things that stupid. May I remind you of the failed experment of the glow puck on Fox. Those of us who like hockey didn't like it, and no one started watching it even though they could tell where the puck was. The NHL doesn't change or add rules because they want to keep their loyal fans.

In a way, yes.  On their move to New Orleans from Charlotte, they retained the teal/indigo look, but also added a yellow aspect to add to the Mardi Gras-like color scheme.  They also lightened the teal on their jerseys a little bit.

The new jerseys are not in NHL 2007 and you wont be able to get them until NHL 2008 comes out. EA Sports sets a deadline each year for teams to submit changes (i.e. jerseys) in order for it to be included in the game. Sabres revealed their jerseys after the deadline.

The home uniform is the traditional white, with navy trim, and the classic "English D" on the left front of the jersey.  Their away colors are grey, with navy and orange trim.   \n\nAs far as their colors (for logos, T-Shirts, and other merhcandise) they are navy, white and orange.  Their well known off the field logo is a Tiger coming through the English D.

Finally!  Someone agrees with me.  Since I first heard who Miro Satan was, I thought it would be the sweetest thing for him to play with the Devils.  I mean come on, would that not be the biggest selling NHL jersey in history?  And just from the irony alone, they should make him captain!\n\nThe Devs are my fave team.  I've considered buying a customized Devils jersey with SATAN 81 before even tho he's not actually on the team . . . yet!

it all depends on who created the uniform, in this case someone who liked blue color.... anyways the Italian team have been always known as "azzurri" that means blue so i dont think they will change it soon

Ummm...Detroit is not going to win the series. \n\nThey wear white because the team has asked them to. There is a push for Miami to be the "White Hot Heat" this year so it is a way for the fans to get involved in supporting their team. Kind of cool, I think....

Partly because it is the most global sport so they draw the best talent from around the world and the black population at large are not from the colder climate regions. Most professional hockey players are from Canada, Russia, Switzerland, Finland, Minnesota (see a trend here?). \n  Another factor has to do with the cost of the game as compared to other sports. First of all the equipment is expensive then factor in the cost of ice time plus the fact that most major cities lack ice arena's and i think that is one reason. If there were a way to make ice more accessible and if equipment cost wasnt a factor I would bet that there are many gifted black atheletes that would excel at ice hockey. \n Last of all without a history of great players there arent many role models to look up to like in the other major sports. Lets face it, how many of us want to be like our local sports heroes when we are growing up. I think as society changes so will the percentage of blacks in hockey (and that would be a good thing).

Yes.  I play hockey and the funny thing is, we don't care if you like our sport.  Yes, there are "black ppl" in hockey.  There aren't that many because not many want to play.  When "black ppl" show up to play, they're welcomed with open arms, unlike other sports (golf, baseball, etc).  When you talk about how we "smack a black plastic thing with a stick", first of all, it's vulcanized rubber, moron.  Secondly, any sport can be reduced to that type of description.\n\nFootball: "they just run around with a leather oval"\nBaseball:  "they just try to hit a ball with a stick"\nBasketball:"they just try to put a ball in a hoop"\n\nNothing personal, but hey, you bashed my sport.
