Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 7 in Super Bowl LV, and it was unveiled that the Bucs will wear their white uniforms in the big game, with the Chiefs opting to wear red.

According to a story from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Buccaneers are only the seventh Super Bowl team to choose to wear white, with five of those being the New England Patriots—helmed by none other than Tom Brady at quarterback. Florio goes into more detail on why the Buccaneers (and Brady) chose to wear white:

“The [Bucs] reportedly went with white because quarterback Tom Brady has a 4-1 record in Super Bowls while wearing white. The lone loss came three years ago, when the Patriots were the home team for Super Bowl LII against the Eagles, and the Patriots chose to wear white.”

Surely, most sports fans will remember what occurred in that game, a stunning shootout between the Pats and Eagles highlighted by the “Philly Special” and a drop by Brady as a receiver on the other side.

Still, Brady has six rings and is going for his seventh, and though that loss was a major one in Brady’s Super Bowl career—he is still a staggering 4-1 in Super Bowls in which he wears white.

On the other side, the Chiefs won last year’s Super Bowl while wearing red, and they also won Super Bowl IV in 1969 while wearing red.
