toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) If everyone wore black, it would look a little strange. White pops out, black would look more like an empty building. Edited May 23, 2008 by toby91_ca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malking71 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 The story behind it is that the players wanted it done. Pittsburgh doesn't have any tradition that I am aware of for this. The Steeler's have the terrible towels but they have never done a "gold out" to my knowledge, and neither have the Pens before this season. However my alma mater did this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know back in the day the home team wore white so it made sense, but now the visitors wear white? esteef thats a question that alot of people are asking...but it really worked well..it was quite a sight.... I remember Winnipeg doing it...I always liked it...its a matter of white being a contrast color and sticking out...Flyer fans did orange...which was cool....but the white stands out better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsudzy 2 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 If the players requested it, it could be because they do the white out in Wilkes-Barre (AHL) and a bunch of them played for the baby pens. Also, they used to wear white at home. Not really sure, just my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
