研究表明，运动服的颜色会影响几种不同格斗运动的比赛结果。这些影响的普遍性，以及它们是否延伸到合作形式的竞赛（团队运动），都是不确定的。自1947年以来，根据穿红色球衣的俱乐部的比例，穿红色球衣的英格兰足球队获得冠军的次数比预期的要多。为了调查这是否表明穿红色队服的球队的长期表现有所提高，我们分析了穿不同颜色队服的球队在联赛中的相对位置。在所有联赛中，红队的主场战绩最好，在最高积分百分比和主场积分榜的平均位置上都有显著差异。这种影响不仅仅是由于穿不同颜色队服的球队和主要穿白色队服的球队之间的差异，因为后者比穿黄色队服的球队表现得更好。在客场比赛中，球员们的表现并没有明显的差异，因为在客场比赛中，球队通常不会穿“主场”的颜色。一项对英国8个城市穿红色衣服和不穿红色衣服的球队进行的配对分析显示，在55年的时间里，红队的表现明显更好。这些对长期成功的影响对团队运动中的颜色选择产生了影响，证实了穿红色可以提高在各种竞争环境中的表现，并为研究这些影响背后的机制提供了进一步的动力。
The colour of sportswear has been shown to influence the outcome of bouts for several different combat sports. The generality of these effects, and whether they extend to collaborative forms of contests (team sports), is uncertain. Since 1947, English football teams wearing red shirts have been champions more often than expected on the basis of the proportion of clubs playing in red. To investigate whether this indicates an enhancement of long-term performance in red-wearing teams, we analysed the relative league positions of teams wearing different hues. Across all league divisions, red teams had the best home record, with significant differences in both percentage of maximum points achieved and mean position in the home league table. The effects were not due simply to a difference between teams playing in a colour and those playing in a predominantly white uniform, as the latter performed better than teams in yellow hues. No significant differences were found for performance in matches away from home, when teams commonly do not wear their "home" colours. A matched-pairs analysis of red and non-red wearing teams in eight English cities shows significantly better performance of red teams over a 55-year period. These effects on long-term success have consequences for colour selection in team sports, confirm that wearing red enhances performance in a variety of competitive contexts, and provide further impetus for studies of the mechanisms underlying these effects.
