Super Bowl 59 is just around the corner, and fans are eagerly awaiting the big game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. One of the most talked-about topics leading up to the event is the uniforms each team will wear. While the Eagles have a strong fanbase that loves their traditional kelly green jerseys, it looks like they won’t be wearing them this time. Here’s everything you need to know about the uniforms for Super Bowl 59.
What Jerseys Will the Eagles Wear?
For Super Bowl 59, the Philadelphia Eagles will stick with their usual midnight green jerseys. Although many fans hoped to see the Eagles wear their classic kelly green jerseys, especially for such an important game, they will not be seen on the field this year. The NFL confirmed that the Eagles will wear their midnight green as usual.
What Jerseys Will the Chiefs Wear?
The Kansas City Chiefs will wear white jerseys for Super Bowl 59. This is a continuation of a trend they started in Super Bowl 57, where they also wore white jerseys against the Eagles. The Chiefs have a tradition of wearing white jerseys in big games, and this year will be no different.
Jersey History for the Eagles and Chiefs
The jerseys worn by both teams in Super Bowl 59 have a strong connection to their previous Super Bowl matchup. In Super Bowl 57, which took place two years ago, the Chiefs edged out the Eagles in a thrilling 38-35 victory. Both teams wore the same jerseys they’ll be wearing this time, so history will repeat itself in more ways than one.
What Is the Home Team Rule?
For Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles are considered the home team. This means the Eagles got to choose their jersey color, and they decided to stick with their tradition of wearing midnight green. The NFL alternates the home team designation each year between the AFC and NFC, and this year, the NFC (Eagles) are the home team.
Previous Super Bowl Jersey Choices for the Eagles
The Eagles have a long history of wearing green jerseys in their Super Bowl appearances. In their first Super Bowl appearance, Super Bowl XV in 1981, the Eagles wore their kelly green jerseys but lost to the Oakland Raiders, 27-10. In their next two Super Bowl appearances, they wore midnight green jerseys. The Eagles lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005 but went on to win the Super Bowl LIII in 2018 against the Patriots, wearing their midnight green jerseys.
Does Wearing White in the Super Bowl Matter?
There’s an interesting trend when it comes to teams wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl. It’s been said that teams wearing white jerseys have won 16 of the last 20 Super Bowls since 2005. However, before that, teams with non-white jerseys won three consecutive Super Bowls from 2002 to 2004. Despite this, the trend of white jerseys being lucky continues, with 37 out of 58 Super Bowls won by teams in white.
