The current rule says the home team "should" have light jerseys and the visitors should have dark jerseys. Apparently, this was causing thousands of problems each year, so the NFHS mandated whites for the home team all the time.
That said, the issue of light/dark was always taken care of by having one team change uniforms, not by penalizing either team. It will be interesting to see what the rulebook will prescribe as a penalty for non-white home jerseys. (Does cream count? What about off-white?)
