So you wouldn't sweat more on a hot/sunny day in a black uniform then you would in a white uniform?

When I'm at my peak, and able to replenish nutrients lost as quickly as I lose them as professionals are, I'm at no clear disadvantage to someone who is wearing lighter colors.

You know the saying. Games aren't won on gameday. They are won in preparation. Applies here. If I'm better conditioned than the man wearing white, I win.

Under the heading of preventing heat-related illness, the CDC suggests:

Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.

Now I wonder why they would suggest that?

That's not what I asked, would you sweat more wearing a black uniform or a white uniform on a hot/sunny day?

You either have a poor understanding on how the human body works, or you foolishly assume that I do.

As I've already stated, if I rapidly replace what I lose as professionals can do, the color of my clothing is irrelevant.

Korey Stringer died from a heat stroke wearing white. Doesn't matter what color clothes you wear as long as you stay hydrated.

What the hell did they take that picture with an old flip phone?

Sure we have a picture of our possible new helmet and all that can be discussed is how hot uniforms get...christ.

Someone on the staff for the panthers could of taken a dump on a helmet and it would have looked better.

So you're saying that you don't think you would sweat more wearing black on a hot/sunny day then you would wearing white?

Yes would could rapidly replace fluids... but if you have to more rapidly replace them because you are wearing black, then it could affect your performance - right?

(why am I still doing this?)

So forget about any other factors, right?

[CatMan72]

Why would the CDC suggest you wear light-colored clothing to avoid heat related illnesses?

[Arnie]

I don't think they changed the stripes, I think you're only seeing the one stripe on that side of the helmet.

Hope so, I love our Claw Mark Stripes!!

Do you have any understanding of how the human body works? Like at all?

I mean it's okay if you don't, but to act like you do while simultaneously being condescending is just poor etiquette.

But but but one time CatMan wore a white jersey and wasn't as hot as the time he wore his black jersey...

I do, I spent close to 10 years working as an EMT... what credentials do you have?

Obviously you're smarter then me, the CDC and the Panthers... congrats.

I'm done with this ridiculous conversation.
