Patriots to wear road white jerseys for Super Bowl LII

The Patriots are apparently a superstitious bunch.
They are the home team in Super Bowl LII, but they've decided to wear their road white jerseys for the game against the Eagles. The Pats have won three titles in the Bill Belichick era while wearing white - 2004 against the Eagles, 2014 against the Seahawks and 2016 against the Falcons.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are 0-2 when they wear their home jerseys in the Super Bowl.
Additionally, 12 of the last 13 Super Bowl participants to wear white have won the game. It means absolutely nothing, but it's a fun little stat to keep in your back pocket.
