Football teams whose players play with a red jersey won more often than others, said British scientists in a study published Wednesday.
The fact that English clubs Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the past regularly appropriated trophies is not by chance, were seriously insured experts from British universities of Durham and Plymouth. The red shirts
a benefit related to the sensory response they generate, they said. "In nature, red is often associated with male aggression and the need to receive" they write.
Focusing on home games, when teams are receiving their true colors, they found the results "surprising" teams in red won more often than those in blue, yellow or orange.
Professor Robert Barton of the University of Plymouth, has offered two explanations. One could take that fans, whose support is often crucial, are subconsciously more attracted to teams in red. The other would refer to a possible "psychological advantage" to wear red on the lawn.
Even the flow of money in recent years happened in the football world has not fundamentally changed these facts, say the scientists. "We predict that always wearing red could tip the balance," said Dr. Russell Hill.
Four English teams just to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, three of them wear the red jersey, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.
