Apparently you can trend success by uniform color. Granted, this didn't work so well for the Phillies this year, but their loss had something to do with Blue blowing calls that got the Yankees to the Series more than anything else.
In most instances however, wearing red is usually the color of success for sports teams.
I found this blog entry that gives more examples of this (you'll have to go halfway down the page):
- Stanley Cup Champions (2000-2008): teams that wore RED won 4 of the 8 (Detroit Red Wings-2 times, New Jersey Devils, and Carolina Hurricanes)
- World Series Champions (2000-2008): teams that wore RED won 6 of the 8 (Arizona DiamondBacks, Anaheim Angels, Boston Red Sox-2 times, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Philadelphia Phillies)
- Super Bowl Champions (2000-2008): teams that wore RED (or have traces of RED) won 4 of the 8 Super Bowls (New England Patriots 2002/2004-2005 and NY Giants 2008)
- NBA Champions:(2000-2008 teams that wore RED only won 2 of the 8 NBA Finals (Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat). However, keep in mind that RED was a dominant color in the 90's with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls
- English Premiere League (English Soccer) (2000-2008): teams that wore RED won 7 of the 8 titles (Manchester United 5 times, Arsenal 2 times)
