Which NFL teams wear their white jerseys at home? I know that the Dallas Cowboys wear their white jerseys at home. The Washington Redskins used to but it looks like they don't anymore. I have seen the Miami Dolphins wearing their white jerseys at home which is probably because of the hot weather there. I wanna say that I've seen the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wear there white jerseys at home but I can't remember for sure. Am I correct about all this? What do you know about NFL teams that wear white jerseys at home? Also, do you like it or dislike it?

In college football I have noticed that the LSU Tigers only wear their white jerseys at home. I'm not sure if any other college teams do that too.

Interesting question! Packers are green for home, white for away. They wore green for SB as they were considered the home team. I prefer the green over the white, white is boring to me.

Pretty much every Sunbelt city (and the Eagles and Redskins) wear white at home.

The Dolphins, Jaguars, Titans, Bucs, and Panthers wear white usually in the earlier part of the year since it's so hot.

The Redskins and Eagles wear white maybe because it's sort of an NFC East thing. The Giants are the only ones in the division who NEVER wear white at home.

And the Texans wear white at home because.... they're trying to be like the Cowboys? (As in, they play in an air conditioned, roofed stadium and really don't need to wear brighter colors)

This website gives a comprehensive history of teams by season, wearing white jerseys at home. The only team to have never worn white, to date, is the Seattle Seahawks.

The last time I remember the Giants wearing white at home was their season opener in 2000 against the Cardinals.

However, some teams will wear white at home during the month of September (or early part of the season), when heat can still be a factor. I know the Panthers and Bucs will do that.

Green Bay has wore white at home only twice, which was back in 1988.

Chicago and Washington used to wear their white jerseys at home. The teams that do it most often are Dallas and Miami. The Buccaneers, Panthers, Saints, Eagles, Jets, Bills, Browns, Bengals, Chargers, Texans, Titans, and Jaguars also wear their jerseys at home. The Patriots and Rams have worn their white jerseys at home in the past. Arizona used to do it when they played outdoors. The Steelers never wore their white jerseys at home but they did it once as the home team in Super Bowl 40 against Seattle.

Most of the year the Dolphins wear their white jerseys at home, because, as you said, it is hot during the season. The Redskins no longer wear their white jerseys at home but the Eagles still do but only about one or two games a year but that's about it. The Chicago Bears used to be the opposite in the NFC Central, they were they only ones that wore white jerseys at home while the rest of the NFC Central teams, including the Packers, wore their mostly colored jerseys although the Packers wore white jerseys at home only twice which happened in 1988. The Cowboys wear their white jerseys at home all year and the Browns did that in 2011 that they wore their white jerseys at home the entire season and this was the same situation for Tennessee last season. According to wikipedia, every current team has worn away jerseys at home in their history, except for the Seahawks. Since 1964 the Cowboys have worn their white jerseys at home.

Evidently, the Broncos have decided to wear their white jerseys for SB 50:
