would the pink visitor's locker room distract your focus or would it not have an affect on you because you would have already known about it?

Kinnick Stadium is well-known for its pink visitors' locker rooms, a tradition started by emeritus Iowa coach Hayden Fry.[9] Believing that pink would put opponents in a "passive mood", and because he thought that some believed pink was a "sissy color", Fry had the visiting locker rooms decorated completely in the color pink.

"One thing we didn't paint black and gold was the stadium's visitors locker room, which we painted pink. It's a passive color, and we hoped it would put our opponents in a passive mood. Also, pink is often found in girls' bedrooms, and because of that some consider it a sissy color." - Hayden Fry

well isnt suppose to affect them subconsciously?

Yes. There's studies that say pink "emasculates" men somewhat.

Blue is calming, Red does the opposite of pink. Black makes the wearer seem more "powerful" and "dominant".

This may not be exact, but it's something like that.
