Arrr! Avast, ye scurvy dogs! The Chiefs be claimin' the mantle o' home team fer the forthcoming Super Bowl. Aye, they be choosin' the garb they wish to don whilst battlin' at Allegiant Stadium.
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, mateys, it be known that the Kansas City Chiefs have had some success wearin' their red jerseys in the Super Bowl. Arrr, they've won three Vince Lombardi trophies, with a 2-1 record in their red jerseys. They defeated the Vikings in Super Bowl IV and the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. But alas, they suffered a loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV while donning their red jerseys.Now, last year, the Chiefs had the luck o' the sea and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in their white jerseys. But for the upcoming game in Las Vegas, they've decided to don their red jerseys. Arrr, the Chiefs' victory in Super Bowl LVII marked the 16th time in the last 19 Super Bowls that a team won while wearin' their white jerseys. Aye, the designated home team gets to choose their jerseys, and last year, the Eagles chose their green jerseys as the home team. This year, it be the Chiefs' turn as the home team, and they be stickin' to their red jerseys.
Now, the San Francisco 49ers be wearin' their white jerseys next Sunday. They be a team with five Super Bowl trophies, but their last win be 29 years ago. But history may be on their side in terms o' jersey trends.
Interesting fact, mateys! The Buccaneers bein' the first team in NFL history to play the big game at their home stadium, decided to wear their white jerseys in last year's Super Bowl against the Chiefs. The 2011 Green Bay Packers and the 2018 Eagles be the only other teams, apart from the Chiefs, to win a Super Bowl in their home jerseys in the last 19 years.
As of Tuesday, the Chiefs be considered underdogs by 1.5 points in Super Bowl LVIII. So, keep an eye on the game, me hearties!
