In the past several years, however, I don't think the two Superbowl teams have had the same records, so the home team is the best team going in.

Isn't that how it works?

The designated "home team" alternates between the NFC team in odd-numbered years (the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005), and the AFC team in even-numbered years (the New England Patriots in 2004). The home team is given the choice of either wearing their colored jerseys or their white ones; this started with Super Bowl XIII. Prior to that, the home team always wore the dark jerseys. The Dallas Cowboys wore their rarely-used blue uniform tops in Super Bowl V, and lost to the then-Baltimore Colts, which has led to the widely-held belief that the Cowboys do not play well in their blue shirts. While most home teams in the Super Bowl choose to wear their colored jerseys, only the Cowboys in XIII and XXVII and the Washington Redskins in XVII have worn white as the home team.

• If I'm Seattle, I'm not taking any chances. I'm not wearing the greenish blue jerseys-greenish blue pants combination against Washington, thereby allowing the Redskins to go with their white-on-white look. Washington is 6-0 since donning the all-white uni.

This quote from Don Banks in his Snap Judgements column this week at SI.

So here we go again....anyone know if the Skins will wear All White in the great Northwest on Saturday? Surely the Hawks aren't stupid enough to let them do it again for a 7th straight time!

Seattle normally wears their dark unis at home. I think if you change unis to affect the other team, you are showing weakness. We'll see if they feel the same way.

I got nothing to say about burgundy uniforms...but I watched that Tampa game from a cruise ship (currently in Mexico) GO SKINS (am drunk, excuse me)

TheMalcolmConnection · 01-10-2006, 04:16 PM

I agree. I'd definitely want to call them a big bunch of superstitious pussies if they went against their normal home colors because they feel like those colors make us unstoppable.

MTK · 01-10-2006, 04:18 PM

Whites all the way again this week, 7-0 here we come!

Seattle doesnt have to choose which uniforms to wear untill a few hours before gametime.

A few years ago Dallas "Forgot" their white uniforms on a road game in DC. we had to wear the red at home.

maybe our staff should forget the burgundy...

When did that happen? The only time I remember them wearing the darks at home against the Cowboys was during the Shottenheimer (SP) era.

Now I would assume that you found this from a good source. If so where? Cause I believe that is not true. Please tell us where you found this info???

This is incorrect. Marty Schottenheimer decided before the 2001 season that the Redskins would wear burgundy jerseys at home throughout the year. He thought they made the Skins look more "imposing."
