So if the Raiders wore pink, would pink result in the most penalties??

But we are the least penalized team or almost least every year in the Big 10. I think anyway, they always bring it up at games.

I read something like this 30 years ago. Teams wear their dark jerseys at home in football because they look more intimidating to the opponent. Teams wear white at home for basketball to look less intimidating to the referees.
