Super Bowl Jersey Color History (How to Bet Based on Dark or Light Jersey)

There are so many different trends to consider when betting on the Super Bowl, and there’s one that we can really take a look at now that the Cincinnati Bengals announced their jerseys for Super Bowl 56. 

The Bengals are rocking their black jerseys with white pants at SoFi Stadium, while the Los Angeles Rams will presumably be wearing their white jerseys. 

That’s not great news for Bengals bettors, as the team in white jerseys has won 35 of the 55 Super Bowls and 17 of the last 20. 

WynnBET Sportsbook has the Bengals listed as four-point underdogs in this game, so they don’t have to win to cover the spread like the Rams do. Still, a Bengals upset would guarantee any Bengals bettor a win in the Super Bowl. 

Here’s a little of how you should consider betting based on jersey color: 

How Many Super Bowl Champion Teams Have Worn White? 

There have been 35 teams that have won the Super Bowl wearing white jerseys, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55 being the last team to win in white. 

Eight of the last 10 Super Bowl Champions have worn white jerseys, with the only winners in the last 10 years to wear dark jerseys coming in Super Bowl 54 and Super Bowl 52. 

How Many Super Bowl Champion Teams Have Worn Dark Jerseys?

In Super Bowl history, only 20 teams have won the game while wearing dark-colored jerseys. 

The most recent team to complete the feat was the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 54, but the Chiefs also lost Super Bowl 55 while wearing their red jerseys. 

Can the Bengals Continue to Defy the Odds?

While history certainly doesn’t side with the Bengals, the team has also been elite as an underdog this season. Cincy is 8-3 against the spread as an underdog this season, and it has covered and won back-to-back games as an underdog this postseason.

The jersey trend certainly favors the team wearing white, but don’t let it be the only reason you bet on a team in this Super Bowl.
