Kansas City Chiefs will have recent history on their side
The Kansas City Chiefs started practices Thursday for their Super Bowl appearance against the Philadelphia Eagles. They currently need a little luck, as they have three wide receivers not practicing on Thursday due to injury. Fortunately for the Chiefs, they might have a little luck for next Sunday.
According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, the Chiefs will wear their white uniforms for the Super Bowl. The Eagles will wear their green uniforms. The team that has worn the white tops in the last 18 Super Bowls has won the Vince Lombardi Trophy 15 times.

Funny enough, the Eagles and Chiefs and Eagles make up two of the three teams that have won those Super Bowls in colored Jerseys. In their red uniforms, the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV over the San Francisco 49ers. They lost the Super Bowl the following year to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the same combo. The Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl LII wearing their green jerseys.
We’ll see if the recent road jersey trend continues or if the Eagles can win in their home uniforms. The Eagles are current favorites to win the Super Bowl. Both teams posted videos of their Super Bowl jerseys receiving the LVII patch.
