The Eagles Will Wear Green in the Super Bowl

The Patriots will, obviously, wear white.
Adam Schefter:
Patriots will wear their road white jerseys in Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles, per @MikeReiss. The team wearing white jerseys has won the Super Bowl in 12 of the previous 13 seasons, per @EpKap.

A little context on that stat: This will be the eighth Super Bowl the Patriots have played in since 2001. They are 5-2 thus far. With this current group, they won their first two Super Bowls, in 2001 and 2003, in blue, and lost the next two in blue against the Giants. They are 3-0 in white. As you may recall, one of those wins came against the Eagles in 2004.
Still, I’m happy the Eagles are in green. It’s their rightful color and inspires more confidence than the white jerseys.
