I think gowns in school colors are also a relatively recent thing. Everything I've seen seems to suggest that prior to the 50s or 60s, boys generally wore black and girls black or white. Though I guess I can see how girls wearing white and guys wearing a darker color translated to using both school colors when gowns in school colors became popular -- especially since one of the colors is typically white or gold.
