SUPERSTITIOUS NFL fans are fearing the worst after the Philadelphia Eagles revealed their uniform choice for Super Bowl LIX.
The Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s showpiece game in New Orleans.
Philadelphia are making their sixth appearance in the Super Bowl, with their last in 2022.
They will wear their home green jerseys for the showdown this weekend at the Superdome.
The Chiefs – going for a record-breaking three-peat – will don a white uniform, as opposed to their usual red.
And this has got the NFL world talking, with white proving a lucky combination for teams in the past.
Teams wearing white are 16-4 in the past 20 Super Bowls, per CBS’ Jon Breech.
While the Eagles are 0-3 in Super Bowls when they choose to wear green.
Philly was forced to wear green in SBLII because the New England Patriots chose uniforms first.
On that occasion in 2017, the Eagles were victorious 41–33.
It remains the organization’s one and only Super Bowl triumph.
“Why do I now think we’re going to lose seeing those jerseys,” wrote one Eagles fan on X.
“Eagles lost the last Super Bowl wearing Green jerseys, tell the NFL the Eagles want to wear White jerseys. Don’t wear green jerseys!!!” begged another.
“The @NFL needs to change the rule stopping teams from wearing whatever uniform they choose for the Super Bowl! Eagles should be allowed to wear their all black uniform,” suggested a third.
“Why are the Chiefs allowed to wear white? I thought the lower seed wore their away jersey?” fumed another.
The Eagles are designated as the home team for Super Bowl LIX.
No longer decided by seeding, the NFC champions are the home team in odd years, with the AFC champions being designated home in even years.
Chiefs fans meanwhile are fearing the worst over the future of Travis Kelce.
The star tight end, 35, has enjoyed a modest season by his high standards.
And a social media post from the Chiefs’ organization earlier this week put fans on red alert.
The caption on a picture of Kelce read: “12 years of greatness”.
“I’m going to be a ball of tears when he hangs it up,” replied one fan.
“Will he give us a lucky 13?” questioned another.
