The Sea Of White Problem

I'm watching tonight's Capitals at Penguins Game 3 in the NHL's 2nd round of playoffs, and the Pittsburgh faithful are mostly dressed in white, presenting an impressive "sea of white" effect all around the rink. The only problem: with the current jersey formula in place in the league (home teams in dark), the Caps are actually the team in white! Therefore, the stands appear, for all the world, to be filled with Washington Capital supporters!

Personally, I'd really rather the NHL went back to the time-honoured tradition of having home teams in the white/light jerseys. Not just for silly things like the preceding, but also because it still screws me up big-time when I tune to a game and see the visitors in white!
