The New England Patriots have determined what uniforms they will be wearing for Super Bowl 52.
Despite being the designated home team for the big game, New England has announced that it will be wearing its road white jerseys instead of the usual blue they wear at home.
The decision could be a superstitious one, with the Patriots holding a 3-0 Super Bowl record when wearing white with Bill Belichick as the head coach.
The team announced the news on social media:
Home team, away jerseys.#Patriots elect to wear white for #SuperBowl; team is 3-0 in white in Super Bowls under Bill Belichick. #GoPats #NotDone pic.twitter.com/nnBNqSzrlW

With New England wearing white, the Eagles will be wearing their green jerseys.
Hopefully Philadelphia isn’t as superstitious, because they wore green in the team’s two previous Super Bowl appearances and have yet to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
Super Bowl 52 takes place on Feb. 4 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
