It's always been home team's choice. Most just happen to choose dark.
Kinda like somewhere along the line I noticed most teams stopped taking the ball when they won the coin toss. Or maybe I never noticed teams defer when I was a kid lol.

Whites > Bone > Blues is how I rank them. Still think the bones look hard as hell with the blue socks...
Not actually a rule just one of those things teams usually preferred to do. Cowturds have been wearing white as their home jersey I think for forever.
Maybe they’ll walk back the 3rd grade art class Ram head logo next.
The bone uni’s looked ok to me but the whites are outstanding.

Ground Zero of teams deferring stems from the 2006 AFC Championship Game, when Indianapolis scored just before Halftime, and then on first possession of 2nd Half, to turn a 21-3 deficit to 21-13 en route to a classic comeback.
Side Note- In Baseball the "100 pitch count" stems from Grady Little leaving Pedro Martinez in after 100 pitches in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS and blowing the series.
Maybe it’s too many drinks on vacation, but I can’t understand that uniform list very well. Is there an easier/better one for semi drunk guys?
Just a guess, but... haven't the Rams felt that the team wearing white has a slight advantage on a brutally hot day? Seems like the Rams have sometimes chosen to wear white during September home games.
Bone with the yellow pants is pretty sharp, but I really dont care if they look like the bad news bears so long as they win,....
Also somewhere along the line they've added a yard to FG's on the snap. Forever you would add 17 yards to the line of scrimmage to figure out the length to a FG but 2-3 years ago it became 18 yards.
Just my 2 cents...
Seems like they add 18 yards for the really long FG attempts (about 53 yards and longer), since the kicker has to kick at a lower trajectory if he's gonna make it... so they add the extra yard to reduce the chance of it getting blocked.
For "normal length" FG attempts, I thought they still stuck to adding about 17 yards.
Just my recollection of recent stuff, I could be wrong. I'll pay attention this season, curious if it's still "add 17 yards for regular FG attempts, add 18 yards for the really long FG attempts."
Looking at the Super Bowl play by play in the 1st Quarter the Bengals got to our 11 yard line and their kicker made a 29 yard FG. Later in the 3rd Quarter we got to the Bengals 23 yard line and Gay made a 41 yard FG.

I did too. Had kind of a hard classic football team look somehow. The only thing I hated were the blueberries and blue pants. Those made me want to put a bag over my head.
Yeah, @LouisvilleRam is right... teams routinely line up 8 yards behind the LOS for FG attempts nowadays. I was just now re-watching some of the AZ-LAR playoff game, and I noticed that on the Rams' extra point attempt, Hekker put the ball down 8 yards behind the LOS.
So yeah, to calculate the length of a FG attempt, add 18 to the LOS number. Used to be 17, now it's 18.
EDIT: So now we gotta fix this Wikipedia page!
