Both teams in colored jerseys

[SWC75]

This used to be the norm in football, as long as there was a contrast. You see it in all the old films and pictures, which are in black and white, such that it looks as if it would have been hard to tell one team from another:

when it actually looked like this, (sorry for the fuzziness):

When TV came in, they started the rule that the home team wears the colored jersey and the visitors wear white, (the opposite of what basketball and baseball do but similar to hockey). I was disappointed they didn't switch back when color TV came in. It certainly would have been more "colorful". But occasionally, now that you see teams experimenting with their uniforms, (usually with dire results), you see a "color on color" game and that's what Arkansas and Missouri are doing today, (on CBS). I like it.

I love seeing color vs. color games. Nowadays nobody has black and white televisions which were part of the reason one team had to wear white.

As long as the jersey colors aren't close like blue vs. green or orange vs. red more games should have both teams wearing their school colors.

I loved seeing USC Garnett/gold vs. UCLA sky blue/gold last weekend and now Mizzou black/gold vs.'Arkansas maroon/white.

I agree. I like the look.

thats why the Syracuse ORANGE, should wear ORANGE jerseys 100% of the time.

id love to have to go into clumpson and have them wear their Orange and Syracuse gets 'stuck' with the whites (and Orange pants).

sort of like how teams used to wear white to force the pokes into their blues.

we have 1 school color...WEAR IT.

Tennessee used to do that. Their orange was and still is darker than white jerseys and lighter than others' dark colors.

I guess someone missed the memo, Usc-Ucla do it, but that is just to spite each other.

USC and UCLA used to both play home games at the Rose Bowl. Thus, when they played their annual game it was always played at each other's home field thus each team would wear their home colors.

Pete Carroll in his last year at USC in 2008 decided to tweak UCLA and wanted to infer the Rose Bowl was still their home field thus USC decided to wear their home jerseys.
If you are going to say that is to spite each other explain it next time. USC wasn't tweaking UCLA but actually it was tradition until USC moved its home games from the Rose Bowl to the LA Memorial Coliseum.

When did USC play home games in the Rose Bowl? They used to both play home games at the Coliseum until the Bruins moved their home games across town to Pasadena. And Carroll did the jersey thing to honor the two teams sharing the Coliseum. He was penalized a time out for the move. Neuheisel was cool with it and agreed to waste a time out to even things up. You said both that it was and it wasn't tweaking, so I'm not sure where you're going with that.

UCLA, like Tennessee, used to wear the powder blues home and away. They contrast both white and colored jerseys: nobody had anything like them. In fact, UCLA played Tennessee a couple of times in that era.

UCLA vs. Michigan State:

Tennessee vs. Alabama:

(I couldn't find a shot of UCLA playing Tennessee in that era but combine the above shots and you can see what it looked like.)

In this year's UGA vs. UF game, both teams requested to wear their home unis. The NCAA allowed it, so the Dawgs wore red and the Gators wore blue.
