Look at the Raiders... all black jerseys... or the Ravens... playing with tons of equipment and black jerseys..
. granted the raiders have sucked for 4yrs now, but that isn't the rease why 
edit: now that I've said 'old wives tale', please someone feel free to post tests and stats of black vs. white jersey selection vs. performance 
oh, i forgot about the searing heat of Fall. it's devastating, especially when you consider that NFL players are playing for what - a total of 18 minutes of actual game time?
