Every shitty team without a real history or identity has a black alternate. Some pencil-pushing jackass in a board room thinks it looks like a cool design so they get some focus groups and shit and ask the average person if they like black, and because it tests favorably with the average person they go to their shitty CEO/owner/whatever and say, "We have some reports here that say a black alternate is an exciting color and choice and could sell well as a jersey" and the shitty CEO/owner/whatever thinks "Cha-ching!"

In the early 2000s UPN had an animated cartoon of Dilbert that was pretty funny. In one of the episodes, the boss asks Dilbert to create some art so they can sell it. Dilbert basically goes into MS paint, draws a duck, and fills it in with the blue paint can. Everybody falls in love with the image and it's all of a sudden seen everywhere because it's so unobjectionable that it gets confused for mass appeal.

Anyway, that's what adding a black alternate uniform or changing your color scheme to include black is like. It's the blue duck. You want black in your uniform! Congratulations! You're mediocre!
