The home team in football gets to choose whether they wear light or dark colors depending on the weather; if it's cold out then the home team will usually wear dark colors to soak up heat and sunlight. Light colors reflect sunlight so the home team will wear light colors when it is hot outside. Basketball teams don't have the choice so they wear light colors at home and dark colors when they are away. Sometimes, the visiting basketball teams will wear light jerseys. It all depends on what the home team wants to wear. There will also be times when the home team will wear retro jerseys and the away team will wear colored jerseys, so no team has light jerseys.
