If you're the type of Kansas City Chiefs supporter that believes in superstition, then this next bit should bring a smile to your face (or a bit of gloom if you're a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan). According to reports, the Chiefs will be wearing their lucky red jersey on Feb. 7 when they take on the Bucs in Super Bowl 55.

This report comes via Rob Collins of FOX4 Kansas City:

As the above tweet mentions, the Chiefs won last year's crown in their red jersey, and the fact that they will be wearing the same color again this year bodes well for the defending champs — from a superstitious standpoint, at least.

Red is the primary color of both the Chiefs and the Bucs. As such, deciding which team would be wearing their preferred “home” jersey turned out to be a complex issue. In the end, it was Kansas City who was given their choice of jersey being that they were designated as the home team for Super Bowl 55.

While this may seem trivial to some, there is actually a deeper explanation as to why the Chiefs' decision to play red might just play a more significant role than most would assume:

“That bright, intense red coloration is actually present only in dominant male,” Russell Hill is a professor of evolutionary anthropology at Durham University in the United Kingdom, via Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. “If you're not a dominant male that red color just washes out. It's a badge of status. If you look across a lot of other mammal species, red is the color. It's used to signify dominance and aggression in a wide variety of animals.”

Be that as it may, the color on their shirts won't really matter too much once these two teams take the field. It will be a battle between two of the top sides in the NFL today, and both the Chiefs and the Bucs will be leaving everything on the field — regardless of what color jersey they may be wearing.
