Jersey Colors Announced For Super Bowl LV

Friday, January 29th, 2021 -- 6:41 AM

As the designated home team for Super Bowl LV -- by virtue of representing the NFC, not because of an NFL-first of playing in their actual home stadium -- the Buccaneers had first dibs when it came to choosing which jersey they would wear against the defending champion Chiefs.

According to ESPN, the Buccaneers will wear their white tops and pewter pants. The Chiefs will be wearing their red jerseys, most likely paired with white pants.  

In Super Bowl history, the team wearing white jerseys is 34-20. Teams wearing white jerseys are 12-4 in the last 16 Super Bowls.

Tampa Bay will wear their white jerseys for the first time in the Super Bowl. The Buccaneers wore their red tops when they defeated the Raiders 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII, the franchise's only other Super Bowl appearance.

The Chiefs are 2-0 in the Super Bowl with their red tops.  

The winner of Super Bowl LV will determine which conference will have the edge as far as Super Bowl records are concerned. Both conferences currently have 27 wins in the Super Bowl.
