The New England Patriots blended into the Denver blizzard last week in the fourth quarter of their AFC championship victory. They improved to 5-0 when wearing their white jerseys with white pants this season.
The all-white look is coming with them to Santa Clara, California, where they’ll face the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 8 in Super Bowl LX.

As was the case during the teams’ Super Bowl XLIX matchup at the end of the 2014 season, the Seahawks will be going all-navy.
The Patriots, of course, won that game following Seattle’s infamous decision not to run the ball with Marshawn Lynch for a potential go-ahead touchdown. Malcolm Butler snagged a goal-line interception that clinched a 28-24 victory for New England.
When wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl, the Patriots are 4-2. They’re 2-2 in the big game when donning their blue jerseys. New England was still wearing its "Pat Patriot" red jerseys when it lost to the Chicago Bears during Super Bowl XX in the 1985 season.
The Patriots have worn white jerseys in their past four Super Bowl appearances, going 3-1 in the process. While New England is technically the "home" team, they’ll look like the road team on Super Bowl Sunday.

They’re comfortable that way, though. They’ve won all nine of their games on the road this season, including last week’s AFC title game, embracing the mentality of being "road warriors."
From the experts at Yahoo Sports
Seattle has worn navy jerseys in both of its Super Bowl losses, first against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL during the 2005 season and then versus the Patriots in the aforementioned Super Bowl XLIX 11 years ago.
When the Seahawks clobbered the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII the season prior, they were in white jerseys and navy pants.
