Passage CHockey teams wearing darker-colored jerseys are more likely to be penalized for aggressive fouls than teams wearingwhite jerseys, according to new research. Teams wearing black jerseys in particular get penalized __26__ , according to ananalysis that may offer a window into the hidden psychological dynamics of the ongoing NHL playoffs.“Teams that wore black jerseys were penalized more, significantly more, than teams __27__ other colored jerseys,” saidresearcher Gregory Webster of the University of Florida, Gainesville.The psychologist said that teams that wore __28__ colored jerseys were penalized about two minutes more per game.The finding is based on an analysis of more than 50,000 NHL games over a quarter century. Players spend nearly a millionminutes in penalty boxes in those games.__29__ the link between jersey colors and penalties is correlational, Webster said it’s likely to be more than merecoincidence: A 2003 rule-change by the NHL that affected whether teams wore white or colored jerseys for home and awaygames allowed researchers to conduct a quasi-experiment.Before 2003, teams typically wore white jerseys at home and colored jerseys for away games. After 2003, teams worecolored jerseys at home and white jerseys for away games. There were some exceptions, but the change in __30__ meant thatthe researchers could disentangle the influence of the jersey-colors on penalties from the possibility that teams were beingpenalized more or less depending on whether they were playing in front of a home crowd.
