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 uniforms that the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will be sporting on the field. In what promises to be a thrilling rematch of Super Bowl LVII, both teams have decided to stick with their tried-and-true uniform combinations.
The Kansas City Chiefs will be donning their white jerseys paired with red pants, a look that has become synonymous with their recent Super Bowl appearances. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles will take the field in their iconic midnight green jerseys and white pants, a combination that has been a staple for the team in their Super Bowl outings this century.
For the Chiefs, this uniform choice is part of a strategic mix that has seen them wear red in Super Bowls LIV, LV, and LVIII, and white in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles, on the other hand, have consistently chosen midnight green for their Super Bowl appearances in the 21st century, including Super Bowls XXXIX, LII, and LVII. However, they have only emerged victorious once in these matchups.
Interestingly, history seems to favor the Chiefs’ choice of white jerseys. Since Super Bowl XXXIX in the 2004 season, the team wearing white has won 16 of the past 20 Super Bowls, according to ESPN Research. This trend includes the Chiefs’ victories in Super Bowls LIV and LVIII while wearing red, and the Eagles’ win in Super Bowl LII. The Green Bay Packers also bucked the trend in Super Bowl XLV.
Let’s take a closer look at the Super Bowl LIX uniforms and the records these teams have achieved this season while wearing their respective combinations:
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Helmet: Red
- Jersey: White
- Pants: Red
- 2024 Record: 4-2 (Wins vs. Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Carolina Panthers. Losses vs. Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos.)

- Pants: White
- 2024 Record: 9-2 (Wins vs. Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders [twice], Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, and Los Angeles Rams. Losses vs. Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.)
As the countdown to the big game continues, fans are eagerly anticipating not just the action on the field but also the visual spectacle that these iconic uniforms will bring. The Chiefs and Eagles are not just playing for the championship; they are also playing for a place in the history books, with the Chiefs aiming to become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
