Super Bowl LIX Uniforms: Chiefs and Eagles Gear Up for the Big Game
As the excitement builds for Super Bowl LIX, fans are not only buzzing about the game itself but also about the sartorial choices of the two teams set to clash on the grand stage. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are ready to take the field in style, and their uniform choices are already making headlines.
In what is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, the uniforms remain unchanged. The Kansas City Chiefs will don their classic white jerseys paired with red pants, while the Philadelphia Eagles will sport their iconic midnight green jerseys with white pants. This choice of attire is not just about aesthetics; it carries with it a rich history and a touch of superstition.
The Chiefs have been known to mix things up in their recent Super Bowl appearances. They wore red in Super Bowl LIV, LV, and LVIII, and opted for white in Super Bowl LVII. On the other hand, the Eagles have consistently chosen midnight green for their Super Bowl appearances this century, including Super Bowls XXXIX, LII, and LVII. However, they have only emerged victorious once in these matchups.
For Kansas City, history seems to be on their side. They are aiming to become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. And if history is any indicator, their choice of white jerseys might just be their lucky charm. According to ESPN Research, since Super Bowl XXXIX in the 2004 season, the team wearing white jerseys has won 16 of the past 20 Super Bowls. The Chiefs themselves have won Super Bowl LIV and LVIII while wearing red, and the Eagles in Super Bowl LII and the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV are the other two teams to have bucked this trend.
Let’s take a closer look at the Super Bowl LIX uniforms and the records these teams have while wearing their respective combinations this season:

- Jersey: White
- Pants: Red
