Thanks for the correction.Those posters would be pretty wrong.
As of October 2012, they were 6-0 wearing the throwback reds for home games. I also distinctly remember them wearing the throwback reds on the road for Thanksgiving in Detroit in 2010 and having a nice win out there. (The game where Brady hooked up on a bomb to Branch and he turned some poor Lions CB inside out and twirled him three times on the way to the end zone).
So, to the best of my knowledge they are 7-0 wearing the throwback reds. I'm not sure if they wore them last year at all?

"PATRIOTS ARE PERFECT WHEN WEARING THROWBACKS AT HOME
The Patriots are now 6-0 when wearing throwback uniforms at home. New England has worn uniforms featuring the old “Pat Patriot” logo at home six times since switching to the current logo in 1993. In addition to today’s game against the Jets, the Patriots have also worn throwbacks at home against Green Bay on Oct. 2, 1994 (17-16 win), against Buffalo on Sept. 14, 2009 (25-24 win), against Tennessee on Oct. 18, 2009 (59-0 win), against Minnesota on Oct. 31, 2010 (28-14 win), and against the N.Y. Jets on Oct. 9, 2011 (30-21 win)."

no data on coach's attireYeah, the red hoodie didn't work out so well.

Cherry picking. Fifteen yards and an automatic first down. They wore red the whole year they went 1-15. They wore red the whole year they went 2-14. They wore red the other whole year they went 2-14.
If you don't cherry pick I can get many more losses than wins if they are in red. Team History is long.
Still, good post. High schools no longer allow you to paint visiting team locker rooms pink. Cracked.com has a few articles on that stuff.
BTW, was't there a thread on win correlation to hoodie color?
Again, red doesn't make a bad team good. It provides a small, statistically significant advantage based on peer-reviewed research. According to the research, the Patriots would have a small but notable advantage playing in red, and have a disadvantage playing in blue. Take the same players, take them out of blue and put them in red, and they gain a small advantage.Cherry picking. Fifteen yards and an automatic first down. They wore red the whole year they went 1-15. They wore red the whole year they went 2-14. They wore red the other whole year they went 2-14.

We were talking about them used as "THROWBACKS".
As far as I can tell, the Brady Patriots are 8-0 wearing them.
We weren't talking about when they were the current uniforms.
Does it explain why teams in green pants and green jerseys attract lowlife scum and suck organizationally?
Someone here recently did the analysis and found that the red hoodie performed the worst.
