The Eagles fans hoping to exact revenge for their loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, there is some bad news. On February 9, when the Chiefs will set foot at Caesars Superdome to compete for the Lombardi Trophy for the fourth time in six years, history will repeat itself in more ways than one. Not only, it will be a rematch of the 2023 showpiece event, but both teams will don the same uniforms they wore on that occasion which gives the Chiefs the edge from a historical standpoint.
Andy Reid’s team is going for a historic 3-peat at Super Bowl LIX while the Eagles will look to crush their dreams just as they stopped Tom Brady’s Patriots from winning three Super Bowls in a row. But the hearts of some Eagles fans, who hold superstitions dear, might have sank when the NFL confirmed the uniforms both teams would sport for the big game.
The Eagles are the designated home team and will wear their midnight green jerseys, while the Chiefs be going with white for the Super Bowl, same as in 2023, when they beat Philly 38–35, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Chiefs announced the launch of their white Super Bowl LIX jerseys on Tuesday.

The design is clean, bold, and screams ‘We’re coming for that third ring.’ Coincidentally, in Super Bowl history, 37 of the 58 winners have donned white uniforms in the game. There are more such facts, which will make for uncomfortable reading for the Eagles faithful.
The teams wearing white jerseys have won 16 of the last 20 Super Bowls dating back to 2005 while the Eagles have donned green jerseys in their previous four Super Bowl appearances, winning only once.
They wore Kelly green jerseys when they lost 27-10 to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV in 1981. The Eagles wore midnight green in their next two appearances losing 24-21 to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX in 2005 but winning the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LII in 2018 against the same opponents wearing the same colors. Against the Chiefs two years ago, the Eagles lost while wearing the green jerseys.
On the other hand, the Chiefs have a 3-1 record in their red jerseys in Super Bowls, winning against the San Francisco 49ers both in 2020 and 2024 while losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, in addition to the Super Bowl IV win over the Minnesota Vikings.
However, when it comes to white jerseys, their record is even. They lost Super Bowl I to the Packers wearing white while they were wearing white when they last met the Eagles in the Super Bowl. So is there some hope for the Eagles contingent? Well, history will again be a reminder.
The Eagles and the Chiefs have only met 11 times before in the NFL. Here also the Chiefs hold a slight edge, leading the series 6-5, dating back to their first meeting in 1972. Talking about superstitions and history, the Chiefs don’t dwell on these anymore, at least not their CEO Clark Hunt.
On January 22, Hunt appeared on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” to talk about his team’s chances of achieving the 3-peat. When asked whether there are any superstitions he sticks to before the big game, he implied that those days are long gone at Arrowhead.
“We’re not very superstitious,” Clark Hunt replied. “I got rid of all my lucky ties when we hired Andy Reid and drafted Patrick Mahomes. We didn’t need those lucky ties.” Three Super Bowl titles in five years is a testament to this statement.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs’ Super Bowl jersey is packed with special details.
Andy Reid’s captains are rocking their gold “C” patches, and it’s a vibe. Before you think this is a history class, just read along. It’s good to know. Since 2007, the NFL’s rule is that captains wear a patch to represent their leadership. If a player’s been a captain for five seasons, their “C” gets that gold upgrade. Just like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones showing off their gold patches.
This ain’t just for show—these guys are calling the shots, from the coin toss to deciding whether to kick, receive, or choose field direction. So, not just the coaches, they also call the shots. The patch is a legit sign of respect for the players who’ve been leading the charge, and it sticks with them even if they switch teams. Just ask J.J. Watt, who wore his gold “C” when he moved from the Texans to the Cardinals.

With all this swag and leadership on display, the Chiefs aren’t just chasing a 3-peat—they’re flexing the kind of dynasty energy that’ll have fans talking long after the season ends. These new jerseys and those gold “C” patches? Yeah, they’re a major sign that Kansas City’s still the team to beat. And if you think those “C” patches are for only those 3, you are mistaken. Yes, you are wrong. Andy Reid made a huge prediction on the Chiefs’ WR, so he might also be rocking that “C” patch soon. So, what’s that prediction? Let’s check it out!
Andy Reid’s WR shows talent or is it potential?

Andy Reid’s been talking up rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy after his standout performance. In the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs snagged a nail-biting 32-29 win to lock in their spot in Super Bowl LIX. Worthy definitely played a part in that. Coming into the game with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. After the Bills passed on him in the draft for Keon Coleman—Worthy was out to prove something, and boy, did he deliver.
Reid’s been impressed with Worthy’s growth throughout the season, saying, “The kid every week, has just gotten better and better.” He pointed out that while Worthy had good moments early on, the second half of the season is where he really started to shine. “You could see he was learning in the first half, the quarterback was learning where he was going to be and how he was going to get there,” Reid explained. “And then against all these different coverages that teams throw at you, it looks like they’re on the same page.” It’s obvious Reid has full confidence in Worthy, and it’s paying off on the field.
Worthy’s numbers in the AFC Championship game speak for themselves. He led the Chiefs in receiving yards, finishing with 85 yards and a touchdown off six catches—a huge deal when you’ve got players like Travis Kelce around. Reid didn’t hold back, saying, “He’s really put together a nice half of the season.” As the Chiefs head into the Super Bowl, Worthy’s ability to make plays in open space is something Reid’s expecting to see more of.

With the Eagles’ solid secondary coming up, Andy Reid knows it won’t be a walk in the park. But he’s all in on Worthy stepping up when it matters most. “They’ve got a real good secondary,” Reid said, but with Worthy finally hitting his stride. He’s ready to make some noise. The rookie might’ve taken a bit to warm up, but now he’s firing on all cylinders. And that could be huge for the Chiefs as they go for the 3-peat.
