RED has emerged as the champion of colours - at least on the soccer field.


A controversial study by UK scientists suggests that teams that wear red are more successful than those which wear yellow, white or blue shirts, reported The Times.

The research was conducted by scientists at Durham and Plymouth universities.

The findings of the study were published in the Journal of Sports Sciences.

BIOLOGICAL RESPONSES

Researchers claim that deep-seated biological responses to colours affect teams' performances.

The study analysed English league results since the Second World War and looked at how teams did when they were at home, wearing their first-choice shirts.

The study found that, of the top 68 sides, teams wearing red won more often at home, while sides in yellow or orange scored the worst.

In games held away from home and where teams tended to wear a variety of colours, there was no difference in performance.

The research also suggested that Olympic competitors who wear red are more likely to achieve success.

In nature, red is often associated with male aggression and display, suggesting high levels of testosterone. So teams in red will subconsciously feel tougher, as well as intimidating the opposition.

According to Professor Robert Barton of Durham University: 'We see a couple of possible explanations.

Firstly, over time supporters may have been subconsciously more attracted to a club wearing red, so the club has developed an increasing resource base within its community.

'Secondly, there may be a positive psychological boost from wearing red, or being associated with a red team, that is reflected on the field of play.

'Competing against a team in red could also impair performance.'

TEAMS IN RED

Three of the Barclays Premier League's top four - and the three most successful teams in English football - Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool, wear red.

So do Bristol City and Stoke City, at the top of the Coca-Cola Championship, although teams in white are prevalent at the head of the Football League's bottom two divisions.

The Times reported that over the years, there is no doubt that the red halves of Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham and Stoke - and the claret-and-blue part of Birmingham, for that matter - have outdone their city rivals.

Will RED be Everyday Sunday FC's color too? You decide.
