True, but 98% aren't. And even if that were the case, the effect would quickly dissipate once the brain adjusted to the new information.

With these sorts of things, the onus is on the argument that it actually does make a difference (vs the nul argument that it does not), and I have yet to see any kind of information that shows that goalies are getting lit up more when they where coloured pads.
