National Football League
The home team has first choice of colors for its players in NFL games. Most teams choose to wear jerseys in their main team color at home, with the road team changing to white in most cases. The road team might instead wear a third jersey.
White road uniforms came to prominence with the rise of television in the 1950s, with "white vs. color" being easier to follow in black-and-white. According to Phil Hecken, "until the mid 1950′s, not only was color versus color common in the NFL, it was actually the norm", but the use of white jerseys has remained since then. The NFL rules now require that the home team's jerseys must be "either white or official team color" throughout the season, "and visiting clubs must wear the opposite". If a team insists on wearing its home uniforms on the road, the NFL Commissioner must judge on whether their uniforms are "of sufficient contrast" with those of their opponents.
The Dallas Cowboys were one of the first NFL teams to primarily wear their white jersey at home as well as away, as it was not an official rule that teams should wear their colored jerseys at home. Until 1964 Dallas had worn blue at home, but the use of white jerseys was instigated by owner Tex Schramm, who wanted fans to see a variety of opponents' colors at home games.The Cowboys still wear white at home today.

White jerseys have also been worn regularly by Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins, and sometimes Philadelphia Eagles. A handful of other teams traditionally wear their white jerseys at home during the first half of the season, due to the hot climates in their respective cities.
The Washington Redskins chose to wear white exclusively at home in the 1980s and 1990s, including the 1982 NFC Championship Game. The Redskins have since 2002 occasionally reverted to using their burgundy jerseys for home games in the second half of the season, but still wear white against the Cowboys.
The Cowboys' blue jersey has been popularly viewed to be "jinxed" because of defeats at Super Bowl V in 1971 (when they were forced to wear their blue jerseys as the designated 'home' team), and in the 1968 season divisional playoffs against Cleveland Browns, Don Meredith's final game as a Cowboy.
Super Bowl rules later changed to allow the designated home team to pick their choice of jersey. Dallas's only victory in a conference championship or Super Bowl wearing the blue jerseys was in the 1978 NFC Championship game at the Los Angeles Rams.
Occasionally, teams playing against Dallas at home wear their white jerseys to try to invoke the "curse", as when the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Cowboys in the 1980 NFC Championship Game, and their November 4, 2007 meeting. Other teams followed suit in the 1980s against the Cowboys, with the St. Louis Cardinals one of the first teams to try. The New York Giants wore white at home against the Cowboys for a time, and the Carolina Panthers, who came into existence in 1995, attempted the gimmick until 2006. In 2008 the 1–4 St. Louis Rams chose to wear white at home, upsetting the blue-shirted Cowboys 34–14. On October 16, 2011, the Cowboys wore their road blue jerseys against the New England Patriots; the Patriots defeated the Cowboys 20–16. The Patriots had worn silver (which is a light color and treated as a white jersey) in their 2003 game at home to Dallas, and white in 2011.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick made the decision to wear white against the Cowboys. He was on the New York Giants coaching staff for some of those years in the 1980s when the Giants bought into the curse. The originator of white home jerseys in the NFL at Dallas, Tex Schramm, said he did not believe in the curse.[/b][/quote]
That's what I thought. Every team needs a home color and an away color. I thought white was the away color but it looks like I was wrong.
So white and blue at home and blue and gold for away games.
