In the NFL, anyway, I believe that the home team actually has its choice of white or dark. So in hot weather, the home team may choose white, to reflect the heat; and in cold weather, choose dark to retain heat.

I'm pretty sure this is true, b/c I remember at the beginning of last season (I think), the Broncos "accidentally" forgot their dark jerseys on a road trip to San Diego, forcing the home Chargers to wear the dark jerseys in the hot weather.
