Quote:It's always sunny in Philadelphia.

Nicely done!

Quote:Nope. I think the advantage is extremely small, but still exists. If one impact player gets cramps from dehydration in the fourth quarter, that would be an impact. Whether or not it happened because of darker uniforms obviously can't be said but the dark color does play a factor.

I think it has more to do with sun than heat, and the current forecast is cloudy with a chance of showers.

Ya, for sure. And there is a difference between sun in September and sun in December.

This thread went to hell. I didn't know so much could be argued about jersey colors. 

 

Speaking of.... why did the Jags wear black jerseys last week?

Isn't it obvious?  They're trying to kill their players. 

 

Well, that, and black is the home jersey color. 

Quote:So based on 2 years that you know, you made the assumption that they'd worn them in every hot weather game/home opener going back 10-20 years?

Isn't that how things work?  He just assumes it, and it must be true because it's TMD saying it?

 

Facts don't matter.  Only opinions matter.

If it's 92 degrees outside with say, 90% humidity, is it hot?  Does it matter what color clothes you're wearing, or is it just hot and sticky outside?

Night game. 

 

Had it been a hot, sunny, early September Sunday afternoon, the Jags likely would have worn the white jersey.

Then again, answer the question....why do so many NFL teams utilize the advantage in early season hot weather games??

If it's sunny, it matters.

Hot is hot. 

 

Humid and hot is even hotter.

 

The Jaguars will face neither this weekend in Puke-a-delphia.  This entire uniform color debate is just nonsense. 

Quote:Then again, answer the question....why do so many NFL teams utilize the advantage in early season hot weather games??

 

You mean teams like the Eagles who have worn white for the last 20 years in early season home games?

 

Yeah, that's working out really well for you.

 

Especially with the dreaded heat the Jags will face in Philly this weekend.  Just horrible.  They've never seen anything quiet as oppressive as 78 degrees and cloudy before.  What will they do?  Maybe forfeit. 

 

"So many NFL teams?"  List all of the teams that actually do as you say.  We've already established you don't know what you're talking about with your own favorite team.  Let us hear a list of all the teams since there are "so many" according to you.

You are wrong.  Hot is hot at night sure, but in the daytime light energy that interacts with dark colors is converted to heat energy.  It's simple science and it's truth.  When you go to mow the lawn in the summer, would you choose a black shirt or a white shirt.  It makes a difference.

They're not mowing a lawn.  They're playing a game in colors they've been wearing throughout training camp.  You don't think they've been conditioned to the heat, especially when the sun is blazing, the temps have been hovering around 100, and the humidity has been above 90% for most of the past several weeks of training camp? 

 

I'm pretty sure 78 and cloudy with a chance of showers is really worrying the training staff right now. 

 

Even with the sun blazing, how much of a temp difference does moisture wicking material actually generate if it's darker?  It's hot in white.  it's hot in black.  It's hot in teal.  As long as the guys have been properly hydrated (and they are) by the training staff, it doesn't matter what color jerseys they're wearing on the field. 

 

Some here act like the differential is so significant that the players could very well burst into flames wearing dark uniforms on hot days.  And yet they still do it, and we haven't had a single incident of spontaneous combustion.  When we have seen heat related issues with players around the league or in sports in general, the biggest issue is that they weren't properly hydrating.  That is the most critical component in dealing with heat and humidity.  That's science too.

Yes, it is. 

 

 

1 game here and there that they didn't during that span is an exception, not the rule. 

 

They have regularly worn white in their 1st home game going back as far as 1989. 

 

 

 

and you still didn't answer the initial question. 

 

You[re quite good at avoidance, aren't you??

Let's see.  You said the last 20, and someone pointed out that in at least 2 of the last 4 years, you were wrong.  I'm sure that average is consistent going back to 1989. 

 

Still waiting on that list. You conveniently ignored that part of the post in your response.  Selective responses to avoid backing up your hyperbole.  That's the diva shuffle.

No, 1 of those years I was wrong. It was 2010 OR 2011, not both. 

Anyway..back to the spread...besides the spreading of the physics of jersey color. New material now does not give the same heat retention as before. Anywho..


Marky Mark Brunell says the ten points is right. Jags no match for Eagles.


There you have it.

Quote:Actually they didn't in 2010 or 2011.

Yes, the technology in the materials they're using today is a far cry from what they were wearing even a couple of years ago.  But we must make an issue out of this because it's something someone here has been pushing as yet another agenda for several years. 

 

Mark Brunell also said the Jags would eventually move to London.
