Why two teams with dark colors?

Youth league - each team only has the one jersey.

(We had black vs dark blue - that was problematic.)

Blue with white numbers versus blue with black numbers.

When I was in school our home uniforms were gold with white numbers. The visitors showed up with gold with white numbers. They were different styles at least. Our team ended up wearing white undershirts under their tops. Many turnovers in that game.

Which explains why the NFHS wants home teams wearing white jerseys.

It doesn't really. The NFHS could just require the home team to have two sets of contrasting jerseys and require them to wear whichever one contrasts with the jerseys worn by the visitors. Why the NFHS fixates on white as one of the contrasting colors is inexplicable (especially in soccer).

It is a good idea because that game was a mess.
