Teams in Red Uniforms Often Win

quote:

An article published in National Geographic News back in 2005 noted that a study claimed that when opponents of a game are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win.

quote:

---

The two researchers concluded that when the athletes were randomly given red or blue clothing, and that when they were equally matched with their opponents, the competitors wearing red were more likely to win their contests, and the conclusion could not be attributed to chance

And the LSU fans will love this next quote.

---

But the German scientists took the issue of the red uniform advantage one step further: possible referee bias in scoring. In a series of tests, the psychologists found that when the competitors were wearing red, they were awarded an average of 13% more points than the blue competitors by experienced referees.

quote:

---

a study at the University of Rochester have been looking into the effects the color red has on athletes. They noted that red makes us stronger and faster, by temporarily increasing speed and strength reactions. "Red enhances our physical reactions because it is seen as a danger cue,"

maybe it gives you a slight psychological edge, but bama's uniforms are god awful to look at. Absolutely no originality. "errrm, hey jim bob. what how do ya reckon we make our uniforms" "i dunno jethro, how bouts we just make em red and puts numbers on the helmets" "yeah and we'll give all the fans pom poms durrr"

Why don't you look up the traditions for it in the US moron.

Don't know why you're bringing up education when LA can even find teachers.

For the rest of your post not all shades of red are the same. That's why they're called shades. I swear you're up there in the top ten worst posters.

Still, we were first, Louisana copied Alabama.

you really don't know anything about history do you. mobile and biloxi were founded before new orleans and were originally part of the louisiana colony founded by the french. So LA didn't copy anything. parades, beads, floats, krewes, balls, and the celebration in general originated in new orleans. mobile had it first though, guess that makes theirs better
