Red revealed as colour of success

Manchester United's red strip is a sign of success

Red, not blue, is the colour of success, Durham scientists say.

A study found that wearing red gives contestants in competitive sports a distinct advantage.

Researchers at the city's university saw the pattern both in one-on-one combat events, such as boxing, and soccer matches.

The study suggests that Manchester United's red strip might have accounted for some of the club's phenomenal success over the years.

Scientists compared the fortunes of fight competitors dressed in red and blue. Those in red came out on top most of the time.

Similar findings emerged from a study of football teams wearing different colours in different matches.

According to the university, red is a "sexually selected, testosterone-dependent signal of male quality in a variety of animals".

......so pretty good for Arsenal, Man U and Liverpool then but not such great news for West Ham?! :wah:
