The weather does have a lot to do with it. For the opening game in Jacksonville, Jack Del Rio had his Jaguars to wear white to reflect the heat. The same is basically true for many warm-weather climate teams. Miami, San Diego, Arizona, and Tampa Bay all usually wear whites at home when it's oppressively hot.

Against the Chargers a couple of weeks ago, the Patriots wore their white jerseys at home -- the first time I've ever seen that. Other teams that sometimes do it are Philly, Carolina, and Tennessee. To my knowledge though, St. Louis always wears their dark jerseys at home.

I'm with you, scowan. I'd also like to see burgundy jerseys at home -- but change to white jerseys and burgundy pants only for the home game against Dallas. If I ran the team, the white jerseys/white pants combination would be the permanent away jersey. As far as alternate or throwback uniforms go, I'd rather not see the Skins do that. I wasn't crazy about the 70th Aniversery uniforms with the spear logo anyway. I loved it during Schottenheimer's short time here because in that season, the Skins wore burgundy jerseys 10 times, (eight home games, and against the Chargers and Cowboys) with only 6 games in white. That was a nice change-up.

Beemnsteven, probably the only thing I liked out of the Steve Spurrier era of the Skins was the White on White away jerseys. I would just like to see a change every now and then. Unfortunately with Gibbs calling the shots, we will probably never see it. Spurrier did not care about little things like that, but I get the feeling that EVERYTHING with Gibbs is done with a purpose in mind including jerseys. Does anyone know of a way we could get a message to him that we would like to see a change? Or at least find out what the players think. For all I know they may love the look they wear now and hate the Red tops, and White bottoms look.
