The Chiefs will be playing in the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl, and when they take the field at State Farm Stadium, they’ll be wearing a jersey from the very first appearance.

Because the Eagles are designated the home team for Super Bowl LVII, they chose to wear their traditional green jerseys. The Chiefs seem to have gone for their usual white jerseys when on the road.

The Chiefs wore red jerseys in their last three Super Bowls (LV, LIV and IV), but donned white in the very first big game. The Chiefs were in all-white for Super Bowl I against the Packers, but the video didn’t show what color pants they team will wear In Super Bowl LVII.

However, the Gridiron Database said the Chiefs will wear red pants. The Chiefs shared this video of their jerseys.

You may have noticed the Chiefs’ Super Bowl patch is on the right front of their jerseys. The Eagles tweeted a video that showed their patch on the left front of the jerseys.

These color combos are the same as the teams wore during their matchup in Week 4 of the 2021 season. That game was in Philadelphia, and the Chiefs won 42-30.

Looking for a good omen, Chiefs fans? That’ll do.
