The uniforms for Super Bowl LIX are set.
The Philadelphia Eagles will be wearing their midnight green jerseys with white pants.
The Kansas City Chiefs will be wearing their white jerseys with red pants.
These are the same color combinations from the Eagles’ loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles were also the “home team” in that game with the NFL alternating between NFC and AFC every year.
Some might argue the Eagles should’ve worn white. Others will point out that the Eagles won their only Super Bowl while wearing midnight green.
Per @EpKap: 16 of the past 20 Super Bowl winners were wearing their white jerseys.
The only teams to win the Super Bowl in the last decade wearing a color other than white are the Chiefs – who wore red in SB LIV and LVIII – and Eagles – who wore green in SB LII. https://t.co/mRi8eYoq4E

The feeling here is that it would’ve been pretty cool if the Eagles broke out Kelly Green for the big game. But that never seemed like a realistic option.
And so midnight green it is. Here are some more numbers on the Eagles’ jersey color combinations via Deniz Selman. Note that he posted these records before the Eagles blew out the Washington Commanders while wearing midnight green in the NFC Championship Game.
#Eagles have worn green on white for all 18 home playoff games (13-5) in the midnight green era–the last time not doing so was 1995 vs DET.
Under Nick Sirianni, the Eagles’ record wearing… midnight green on white: 21-16 (.568) <- getting better!anything else: 31-7 (.816) https://t.co/dxhPMxJpoJ
