Why in the NHL - do home teams where their "road jerseys" and the visiting team wears their white jerseys?

I highly doubt that they will be switching back anytime soon.  Gary Bettman is determined to mess up the NHL even more than he already has.

The green uniform is their second uniforms for away games, seen that they are playing at home they will wear their white strip shirts which happens to be their 1st uniforms. PurpleJ.. I hope that helps you with your question(good one) in understanding the rules of Football, sometimes both teams have the same colour strip uniforms therefore the away team must use there 2 or 3 uniforms which in Germany case is the Red uniform.

It's a sports and cultural thing north of the Mason Dixon line and an entertainment thing south of it. In the original six NHL cities and across the Northern tier, they are all cold weather climates where you actually get a pair of skates handed down from your sib's and get a hockey stick as a gift for Christmas. Your shin pads were often a catologue from a department store. \n\nFor markets like LA, Dallas and Miami .. it's all entertainment. This is a choice for those dollars, verses clubs, movies and other sports options. Not that they are our are not viable markets for the entertainment ... but you'll never run out to your back yard, strap on skates and play shinny across a frozen lake or pond.\n\nIt is actually a regional sport and will remain so until an athlete or a team is so powerful that they capture the imagination of the marginal fan. Some say Gretsky could have ... because he was in that class with Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson.

They dont change their uniform after each game.  They change them according to home or away.  If they are playing at home then they will wear their dark jersey but if they are playing away then they will wear their light.  They will sometimes change their jeresy and wear the retro jersey just to change it up and get the crowd more into the game.

Players usually exchange jerseys at the end of the games as a token of friendship and respect. They keep the jerseys as souvenirs and memoirs. It's a really nice respectful tradition, I alwasy enjoy watching this part after the game is over!

Its a whiteout promotion, kinda designed to intimdate the other team and be a good home promotion.

After one unsuccessful season in Edmonton marked by injury and disappointment, on June 6, 2005, the team announced that they were requesting permission from the American Hockey League to suspend team operations. This meant that the Road Runners would not be back for the 2005-06 season. \n\nThe Oilers currently use the Hamilton Bulldogs and Iowa Stars of the AHL as there AHL affiliates

Wong, you're pretty close.  Mob, you're way off.\n\nThe first deciding factor is seed (ranking).  The top seeded team will always have home ice.  When you get to the Stanley Cup Finals, there is a chance of two equally seeded teams meeting up.  If that is the case, it goes to regular season record.  If those are equal, then it goes to total GF (goals for - whoever has more).  If all the planets are aligned and those are equal, then it goes to GA (goals against - whoever has less).  There is one more deciding factor, but I can't remember what it is.\n\nIt doesn't matter at this point in the playoffs - Edmonton will always be the road team.  If it came down to Edmonton and Tampa Bay (8th seed in the East), then it would go to regular season record.

I think so. It's an away game for them though, so it might not be the same as what they wear for a home game. They're doing pretty well at the moment though eh? 39 points up at 3/4 time!

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.

The East because the top seed always has home ice.  EX. Ottawa would have had home ice guaranteed all the way through the playoffs, but Edmonton will always be the away team, no matter what.

Its just a thing the heat did. Il ive in miami so white hot heat thing was every where.  On the website in the stores and plus if your  a heat fan you know about sun shine.  its a   channel that covers all the heat games and a pre and after game show and they were always talking about white hot heat.  The fans just knew they had to wear white and you could buy them at the arena or anywhere you went.. it was a way to support the heat and let them know how much their fans love them and stuff like that... Its the heat and were WHITE HOT BABY!!! go HEAT!!

I heard this explanation during a telecast:\n \nMost teams have 3 sweaters; one white, one dark, and a third alternative sweater for special occaisions (e.g. national televised games, holiday games, etc).  The third sweaters are also dark, with special graphics.  If dark jerseys are for away games, the teams would have to pack both the standard away and the alternative jerseys.  If white is the away color, it makes it easier; simply pack only the white jerseys for road trips.

tradition\njust like when they hit their sticks against the goalie's pads \nafter he makes a good save. that was originally done to make the pads bigger, because when they were made of leather in the earlie days, htey would shrink after absorbing water(from the ice)

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.

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.
