With Joe Gibbs as head coach, you'll never see the Redskins in anything but white jerseys at home. For some reason, he doesn't like wearing the burgundy jerseys at FedEx. I've read that his rule goes back to the early days of RFK stadium -- he once said that the shadows were so dark in certain areas of the field, that the burgundy jerseys were to hard to spot by his quarterbacks. He's stuck with it ever since. White jerseys are also preferred in hot, humid weather by just about every team.

The home team gets to decide which jersey will be worn. The visiting team must respond with the opposite jersey, but the pants can be anything.
