Perhaps that's why we wear purple so often for OOC home games. I know we wear white for the home opener and so far have always worn white in the OOC neutral site games.

Most teams wear dark at home. There were some instances where the visiting team brought white by mistake to schools that wear white at home. This created some problems so it became a hard and fast rule that visitors always wear white.

I believe it was DiNardo who got them to let the home team wear white if both teams agreed to it. After a few pissing matches among SEC teams (I think Spurrier made us wear dark one time), the SEC added the home team controls rule.

Saban started the wear purple at home for at least one OOC game as sort of a tribute to those teams that only wore purple at home and we have been continuing that as a tradition.
