Why is everyone wearing WHITE in the crowd at the Miami-Detroit game?
About 98% of the crowd, dressed in solid white. I am just baffled. Look for yourself, on ESPN. :shrug:

1. The Vancouver Canucks did it back in the 80's and called it a
White Out, with white shirts and white pom poms. A psychological thing I guess.

10. Was it the Canucks, or the Winnipeg Jets?
Or maybe even both, but I thought it was Winnipeg.

5. I should have phrased the question as "Why is everyone dressed
in the same color at the Miami-Detroit game?" I mean these are adults, right? These are folks who can think for themselves and, um, don't step into line over simply what their neighbors, and, um... the media tells them to do.... ummmm... right?.... ummm.......

never mind

11. Why do people wear jerseys of their home team to home games?
I mean if you'vbe got to ask then you must not have been to many professional sports events.
