It's one of those unwritten rules to show that's it's time to get out the darker fall and winter colors. However, since that unwritten rule was started things have changed a little. White is now a popular color to wear in the fall and winter as long as you're wearing something with a fall/winter material. Like a white sweater or white corduroy pants.\n\nSo, all in all, whites an all year color in the U.S.

Because white people can't play basketball?!?!?! There are a few players who's not white though.

To keep them cool. White helps reflect the sun light. And the long robes prevent sunburn.

The change was made because of the introduction of third jerseys. It was not "change for the sake of change" – it was done because teams traveling on the road found that they had to bring both dark and white jerseys with them on their road trip, because some opponents wore the standard white jerseys, while others wore the (usually dark) third jerseys which have been around since 1996-97.\n\nTo allow teams to travel light, the NHL switched the home/road jersey color so that road teams could always know that they'd only need to bring a white jersey.

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....

Well I think with Basketball they would have to wear a sports jacket under the new Dress code. After all the players that aren't able to play have to. I would actually guess most of it is Dress codes by the league. The NFL though proably just kinda doesn't worry. They proably have a small thing like that the coaches are to look respectable but that's about it. Actually if you look at NFL coaches they usually look pretty reasonably dressy.

this is mostly seen in HAJI people, they all wear same colour\n     one reason is this ISLAM sees all persons standing at same level without any  distinction of cast, richness etc so wearing same dress brings all MUSLIMS at one level at the occasion of HAJJ ,as well as white colour is concerned it symbolises peace and nobility .\n secondly ARAB is a region having extreamly warm temperature conditions ... and WHITE is a colour that reflects all wavelengths of light and gives a COOL feeling to arab people ..same was done usually by HOLY PROPHET folowers  ( PBUH) so it is also taken as SUNAT in muslims.

The Redskins and Cowboys are just following long-time tradition. I'm old enough to remember when most high school and some college football teams wore white at home. The NHL did that to sell jerseys. I'm thinking there will be even more "third" jerseys - like the Hurricanes adding a black one - and a return to the occasional "reverse jersey" night. Then the absolute diehard fans need to spend $500 to be able to match the team.

When you have two teams on the same court, both sides need to be able to distinguish at a glance who they're passing to so that's the reason for the different colors between teams.  \n\nTo help limit confusion, a rule has been established that when you are playing on your home court you will wear white and when you play away from home you wear the dark colors.\n\nThe different colors between teams such as red, black, orange, etc. are determined by the teams and usually have something to do with their home towns colors, but not always.

No, you are a retard.  If you call it how you see it, then You see it in a clouded view.  The most dominating players are white in almost all sports.  Basketball MVP Steve Nash.  What about Dirk? J.J. Redick and Adam Morrison are the top players coming out of college. And lets talk about basketball dumbass, the NBA logo was modeled after Jerry West, a white guy. Football-Top QB-Peyton Manning, best ever Dan Marino, John Elway, Johnny Unitas, Brett Favre.  A black QB is not even in the conversation.  Baseball NL Cy Young Cris Carpenter.  Offense-Alex Rodriguez or Albert Pujols (from KC, MO)Most strikeouts (Nolan Ryan)most wins, and almost any other pitching stat is lead by white men.\nLook in the record books, there are far more dominating white players than there are black players in all these sports.  Hockey, Best young player-Sidney Crosby.  And coaches, The best coaches are white, Tony Larussa, Bill Parcells, Phil Jackson, Bill Belichick, Bill Walsh, Joe Torre, Pat Riley, Red Auerbach, Greg Popavich, Jack McKeon, and the list goes on and on. \nYou are an idiot, and this is two days in a row you found an idiotic way to ask the same dumb question.  Are you sure you are not racist?  I am definately not, but I give credit when it is due.\nBaseball most wins-white Cy young\nmost hits-white Pete Rose\nStrikeouts-white Nolan Ryan\nBest defensive third baseman-Scott Rolen\nconsecutive games played-Cal Ripken\n\nFootball-Passing yards white Dan Marino\nQB SBs white Terry Bradshaw\nconsecutive games played-Brett Favre\n\nBasket ball-most assists-white John stockton\nsteals-white John Stockton\nChampionships-Celtics-Larry Bird, coach Red Auerbach, Danny Ainge\nLakers-Jerry West, Coach Pat Riley\nStop asking this question, so you don't appear so stupid
