The football landscape today is so cutthroat that teams will do anything and everything to try and get an edge over their opponent. Norwich City has made an attempt at some interesting gamesmanship by painting the away dressing room at Carrow Road in pink.
Why? Because pink supposedly reduces testosterone levels. Some studies have shown that the color lowers an individual’s aggression and testosterone levels, and Norwich City's looking to use that as an edge over its opponents.
Norwich City painted the away dressing room PINK as they believe it will 'lower a visiting team's testosterone levels'.

This isn’t the first time that this technique has been used. Prisons in the U.S. have painted some of their cells pink to try and calm down some of the crazy inmates, and some American football teams have used the pink tactic as well.

Norwich City has played two home games this season, with mixed results. A 4-3 loss to West Bromwich Albion was followed by a win over Stevenage in the Carabao Cup.
While Norwich City tries to prove that pink dressing rooms will work in its favor, Queens Park Rangers showed that the color pink might really have detrimental effects if you wear it.
The London side played in a pink jersey against West Brom on Saturday, and they were duly belted 7-1 by the Baggies.
The psychology of pink? Is this why @QPR lost 7-1 at the weekend? Just wondering. They had better wear the third strip when they play Norwich. https://t.co/xFUhJI7Mxr pic.twitter.com/2R8gatnNFL

If we’ve learnt anything from the color pink, it’s that Queens Park Rangers are going down.
