Also there are 3 types of heat transfer, convection, conduction and radiation...the black vs white thing has to do with radiative heat transfer ;)
 
Our uniforms were black pants black racer back jerseys moisture wicking. We let the girls choose what uniforms they want and they choose the all black and all royal blue

I like to wear colors that blend in with OF fences so people cannot detect my hand gestures when DD's coach starts bunting runners over down by 8 runs.
Get rid of those orange caps, and the green gatorade bottles should blend in nicely with the grass as well. :)

Can't wear black because it's too hot. Can't wear white because you can't clean it.

Meh...

I got a set of black uniforms and a set of white uniforms just to make sure no one was happy.

I throw water bottles..get it right (and it isn't those little wimpy plastic ones either..) Gatorade is horrible for you ;)

That was the point - I was going for the camouflage angle - "I don't see any water bottle sitting in the outfield grass..."

The parents seem to be the ones that complain about the heat more than the girls do. Turf fields in Vegas in mid summer had the girls talking about the heat they could feel through their shoes more than their black jerseys. Hydration is the key.
But now that I think about it, its the parents that complain about the heat, the cold, the uniform colors, laundry, no shade, concessions, parking, playing time, pickups...........
