Is it true that if you wear red on a sports team your team is most likley to win?

my frien told me that and i was cirius to know if anyone els would know.Is it true that if you wear red on a sports team your team is most likley to win?
The Ducks would probably have a different opinion and the Senators are wondering where they misplaced their red luck.Is it true that if you wear red on a sports team your team is most likley to win?
montreal use to think so
sshueman = idiot





Only an Av's fan could watch his team miss the playoffs completely, see the Wings go 6 games deep in the WCF, yet still continuously talk trash. Colorado logic is unbelievable. Is it just the thin air out there or were you home schooled by mushroom grubbing hippies?
lol it sure does seem that way with the Wings, the Devils, the Flames, the list goes on and on...
Yes it is true.....





Well, maybe it's not....





Well, I don't know....





What do you think?





I heard if they wear red panties they will always win.
Just a coincidence. Lets look at Previous Season Winners in North American Professional Sports.





NHL- Ducks - Black and Gold


NFL- Colts - Blue


NBA - Spurs - Black


MLB - Cardinals - Red





Others





Soccer World Cup - Italy - Blue


PGA Tour - Usually Tiger Woods and on Sundays he always wears red, therfore he wins the tournaments in Red


Tennis - Usually Federer -Multicolored








These facts have proved that the hypothesis of winners wear red is false. As you can see the most common winners win in a color starting with B- 4/7 winners started with B...............Just kidding, just a coincidence!!!
If so, it's a coincidence. I hope.
Your friends statement does merit some truth based on mythology.


Mars is the god of war. (Stick with me for a sec, this will all tie in.) In ancient times, sport was watching gladiators battle it out to the bloody death. A ';fan'; or loved one of the gladiator may wear red to please the god Mars so he would look kindly and lend strength to the battle, thus sparing his life.


Current ';battles'; have turned into far friendlier sports matches. However, it is still believed if you want to appease the gods of war, wearing red will help do so.





It may sound like a lot of mojo, but i do believe this is the root of what your friend said.
Probably not.


Although red uniforms on the ice are really sharp. Yeah, yeah, I am a wings fan. lol


On the pink visitors locker room.....that was Uof Michigan that did that.
Not at all!!! Winning doesnt depend on what color you wear...


e.g. Zimbabwe Cricket Team wears Red but it ends up on the losing side more often than not........
Winningest pro baseball team has no red. (Yankees)


Second winningest hockey team has no red (Leafs)


Team with most superbowls has no red. (Steelers)


Team with most NBA titles has no red (Celtics)





This is kind of like that 3 red cars theory. If you skew the data to fit the theory it works but if you use all the data it's a pattern that is closer to non-existent than existant.
Nah, its just that a lot of teams wear red, so thus a lot of winning teams do as well.





16 out of the 30 teams wear some form of red, so the odds are better than 50% that the champions will be red as well.
the devils hold true with that statement although i see little connection
Hey I wore lucky red thong the whole SCF and the Ducks won, so yeah, it works.





lol yeah red thong + green shamrock socks + signed Duck jersey = Ducks win
i dont think so
Yeah, its true.But we call it Scarlet in Columbus.
If you think that then listen to this, New York Yankees, Indianapolis Colts, San Antonio Spurs.
Eh....kind of....I read in a Maxim magazine article where some college football team painted the visitor's dressing room pink to ';make them soft.';. That team broke some home winning record, so there is a psychological correlation between colours and sports.
ask those wingies how red did for them last year! lol!l
I think it's sort of true (Wings, Avs, Devils have red) but it's not helping the Habs much now. Internationally, of course, Canada (and the old CCCP) are red but Sweden which won the last Olympics has no red.





Over history though I doubt that. NY Yankees and Oakland A's dynasties have no red (ditto Dodgers, old NY Giants, but StL Cards do in spades as did the Big Red Machine of Cincinnati). NE Patriots actually switched from mainly red to blue and started winning Super Bowls (still have a tad of red, I think). SA Spurs have no red...ditto the Lakers and Celtics (the Bulls did).





In soccer there are some trad strong teams in red (Ajax, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Bayern Munchen, Milan) but Real Madrid have won the most European Cups and they wear all white. National team wise Brazil rule and have no red...ditto Italy or France or Germany.





Rugby-- no idea club wise but internationally, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa have no red. Ditto France. Only England (';logo'; is a red rose) have some.





So, all in all, wearing red is no guarantee of ultimate glory.
ssshueman (sp?)





how far did your Aves get last year?





puckdat





the 49ers and Cowboys are tied with the steelers for most SB wins and the niners have red in them





but anyway for hockey not so much carolina aves (its a dark red but still red) panthers and Yotes all missed the playoffs and they all have read on them.
Yeah, I'm sure that if I wore RED my Pens would have beaten the Sens in the 1st round of the playoffs last season. Not. Lol.





I agree with what's been said before, I don't think it's true... Now black and gold---those are some winning colors. Mwahaha!
No, it only works if you adopt the Soviet Red Army Communism Clause as well as red uniforms. Basically, you have to do as the Soviets did before the big collapse. You have to go select good athletes and make them train all year around, take steroids, basically do whatever it takes to make them better hockey players. You pay them little or no money, but you provide them with basic shelter, food and drink. They are allowed to go visit their families 2 times a year, for 2 weeks, while wearing a tracking device so they can't defect. Then, after about 3 years of this training, you give them the red jerseys, and you will be more likely to win.
