http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl
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.
