The Bengals clearly aren’t a superstitious crew, in any other case they most likely would have gone with white. Not solely did they go 7-3 in white uniforms this yr, however as we talked about on the high, groups carrying white have received 14 OF THE PAST 17 Tremendous Bowls. In final yr’s Tremendous Bowl, the Buccaneers wore their highway white uniforms although they had been the house crew taking part in of their house stadium.

The Rams “white” highway uniform is technically bone grey, which you’ll see under. 

By carrying the white uniform, the Rams will be a part of the 1994 49ers (who wore their seventy fifth anniversary drop shadow throwbacks in Tremendous Bowl XXIX) and the 2018 Rams as the one two different groups to put on an alternate jersey within the Tremendous Bowl.
