Actually, according to a colleague who played college ball, the black unis make the ball harder to see on thinks such as reverse and especially play action. If any team has an advantage, it will be ours.

There's another benefit of black unis. UCLA will be wearing white, with white sleeves. That will show a lot of contrast when our defensive linemen are held, and hence it will be easier for the refs to call.
This is not a new thought. I remember reading a few years ago that the offensive linemen of our opponent at their home put on white sleeves, so holding would be less apparent on our white road jerseys.
