Yes, we have 3 official colors: red, black.....and in recent years it seems that white has been added to the mix. White has sort of become the fashionable color du jour.

white is added bc teams visiting teams have to wear a lighter distinguishable color. White is usually the default. It hasn't been recent years either. we've always had white jerseys.

i'd be more upset at the red, if your looking to get riled up. It used to be garnet.

Sure, as an away jersey. But, I'm talking about home jerseys, where white has now been added to the mix, at least a couple years ago. I think to avoid an identity crisis, STF decreed last year that the home jersey will be the traditional red and black. Let's see what it is this year.

i don't think i've ever seen white added to the home jerseys, other than to outline numbers. schools in the south will wear white during home games in the early fall bc of the hot weather, but i don't think we've ever worn white at home.
