What is The Black Jersey Theory?

The Black Jersey Theory is very simple.  Teams that wear alternate black jerseys for sporting events win games...it's almost a guarantee.  If a team's normal colors are red and white, and they whip out the alternate black jerseys for a big game, they're going to win.  The theory doesn't apply to schools who have black as one of their two primary colors because they would wear black jerseys about half the time.

Black jerseys have been very common in college athletics over the past decade.  Schools have been deciding to get more creative with their jerseys to attract attention and bring excitement to their programs.  Wearing different jerseys gets the players, along with the fans, more excited about games, resulting in wins.
