The big game is this weekend, the Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons looking for their first championship while Tom Brady and the Patriots are looking for their 5th! This is the 51st Super bowl and so Uni Watch who every year give fun facts about the uniforms each team is wearing and the possible impact on the game! Let's jump into it!
According to Uni Watch
1. Advantage: White. The last five Super Bowl winners, and 11 of the past 12, have worn white (and that includes last year's champions, the Broncos, who were the designated home team but opted to wear white due to their 0-4 Super Bowl record while wearing orange). So depending on how you look at it, the Falcons have either set themselves up for failure or are sitting pretty because the streak is ripe to be broken.
2. Numbers game. NFL quarterbacks are allowed to wear any uniform number from 1 to 19, and all but two of those numbers have been worn by at least one Super Bowl starting quarterback. Assuming Atlanta's Matt Ryan starts this Sunday's game, he'll become the first Super Bowl signal-caller to wear No. 2. That would mean the only remaining quarterback number never to have been worn in the big game will be No. 6.
