Besides the traditional black-wearing teams...why are so many sports teams (pro or college) starting to wear black? Just to name a few teams that have started to wear black...

1. U of Louisville (noticed it tonight)
2. Chicago Bulls
3. Miami Heat
4. U of Oregon

I could name a few others if I had time to think. Black doesn't dazzle the eye or add any originality to a uniform...it's the worst color to have. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Maybe someday every uniform will be mostly black. It'll be great!

OMG! Maybe someday every one will agree with my opinions and my opinions only. It'll be great!

Bulls black with red stripes was so sweet back in the day.

I thought that was because of Red Auerbach...

Nope, started last season as an alternative jersey.

It is to sell more merchandise. Black jerseys, t-shirts, caps and jackets sell big with the non-fan to whom they are trying to sell.
