Most, if not all, [[sports]] [[sports team|teams]] also wear uniforms, made in the team's distinctive colors. In individual sports like tennis and golf, players may choose any clothing design allowed by the competition rules.

To prevent the confusion (for officials, players, and fans) that might result from two opposing teams wearing uniforms (kits) with similar colors, teams have different variations for "[[Home (sports)|home]]" and "[[Away colours|away]]" games, where typically one is dark and the other is light. In the four [[Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada|major North American sports leagues]], one of the two uniforms is almost always predominantly white, and each league except for the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA) has a rule to determine which team should normally wear its white uniform. Customarily, [[National Football League]] (NFL) and [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) teams wear their ''color'' uniforms for home games. By contrast, [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) teams wear their ''white'' uniforms for home games. The NBA traditionally required home teams to wear white, or at least a light color, but as of the {{nbay|2017|app=season}} allows home teams to wear any uniform color, mandating only that away teams wear a color that sufficiently contrasts with the home team's choice.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Whitaker |first1=Lang |title=NBA, Nike unveil new uniforms for 2017-18 season |url=http://www.nba.com/article/2017/07/18/nba-nike-new-uniforms |website=NBA.com |access-date=October 15, 2018 |date=July 18, 2017}}</ref> These rules are not strictly enforced, however, for any of the four major professional sports leagues in North America. Some NFL teams, most notably the [[Dallas Cowboys]], prefer to wear their white jerseys for home games. When [[Joe Gibbs]] was the head coach of the [[Washington Redskins]] &mdash; first from 1981 to 1992, and again from 2004 to 2007 &mdash; the Redskins exclusively wore white jerseys at home games.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uni-watch.com/research-projects/white-at-home-in-the-nfl|title=White at Home in the NFL|work=www.uni-watch.com|access-date=July 5, 2015}}</ref> In the [[United Kingdom]], especially in [[Association football|football]], the terms "kit" or "strip" (as in '[[football kit]]') are more common (instead of uniform).
