Recently i was flipping through the spots channels and stopped to watch a college game. Since i have no loyalty to either team i find it interesting that i found myself cheering for the team in white. 50/50 chance i suppose, but looking at the colors of my favorite teams non of them have black as home colors. Good guys wear white…hats

It is such an interesting paper. I wonder why they haven’t done more follow-up studies on it. Definitely an optimization opportunity!

I so agree color makes a difference. Not only in sports but almost everythig in life. I always find studies on this subject interesting. Color tends to influence us one way or the other.

I like the look of the Chicago Blackhawks.

They look aggressive.

What do you think?

In the UK, football referees seem to make more ‘bad’ decisions than biased decisions – in my opinion. Refereeing is a thankless job – all the supporters are biased!

I remember as a (young) student being given some interview advice:
“Don’t be tempted to buy a black suit (even if it is useful for funerals and weddings!), because black is a very ruthless colour, especially teamed with pure white. This strong contrast creates an air of authority and can put distance between the interviewer and yourself
For a good investment and a safe option, choose a good navy suit”

How many teams play in Navy?!

I’m completely sold on the idea that color makes a difference on our performance, and that includes the colors we ware.

If you have more on this I’d be interesting in reading about it.

Hi Kate,

ohhhhhhhhhhh, you have touched on a sore spot with a dedicated San Jose Sharks hockey fan.

yes
hanging head low
bold MANLY aggressive colors!!!!!!!!!!!
teal and gray

sigh

It just ain’t EVER going to happen (the cup) because indeed color DOES affect both the players and their opponents.

Can we blame the Sharks historically bad power plays on that? (please?)

Happy Dating and Relationships,
