Can we keep wearing orange at home?

I absolutely love it. I've always hated that basketball teams wear white at home.

I'll take it, it will go along with Pearl's orange jacket. Although I can see Vandy not playing along. I'm kind of surprised UK did.

Are you talking about Bruce's jacket or the jersey's...I'm confused.

isnt it the home teams choice what color jersey they wear?

I thought that UT typically wore Orange at home...maybe I'm wrong on that.

Are you serious? Have you ever watched UT play? Have you ever watched college basketball?:rtfm:

No need to be so mean to the guy, geez.

NCAA basketball teams wear white at home, but I believe they have the choice of what to wear. I was hoping for a color-on-color matchup. I think those need to be more common. If the two teams both wear blue home jerseys, have one wear white. But in games with very different colors, do color-on-color. It would look fantastic.

Oops...yep, you're right. I was reversing a previous argument I had on this subject. It's the whole football color vs. basketball white thing. My bad, :hi: My multiple beers are speaking (thus the 'maybe I'm wrong on that' admission)

Ah, it's alright. I railed on a guy recently for the same thing...yet reversed my argument here....it happens

I have never understood why they continue with the white and solid color deal it was done in the late 50's and early 60's to help ypu follow the game on B&W TV's since unless you live behind a stone everyone has color why not just do away with this rule?

I agree. It's a very outdated rule.
