Super Bowl LX Makes Uniform History With First-Ever Monochrome vs. Monochrome Matchup
For the first time in league history, both teams will take the field in full monochrome looks. The Seattle Seahawks are going head-to-toe college navy, while the New England Patriots will counter with an all-white uniform from jersey to pants.
It might sound subtle, but visually it’s a first-of-its-kind moment for the Super Bowl, and it instantly gives this matchup a unique place in uniform history.
The Seahawks will wear their all-navy combination, a look that has quietly become the franchise’s standard since the current uniform set debuted in 2012. The deep navy jersey paired with matching pants and socks gives the team a clean, aggressive silhouette that feels modern without trying too hard. It’s one of those combinations that simply looks right every time they step on the field.
It’s also familiar territory in the Super Bowl. Seattle has worn all-navy in two of its three previous appearances on the big stage, including their last meeting with New England in Super Bowl XLIX.
On the other side, New England made a more surprising decision. Despite being designated as the “home team,” the Patriots elected to wear white jerseys, continuing a recent trend that has seen them favor road whites in championship games. Since their loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, the Patriots have worn white in each of their next five Super Bowl appearances, clearly buying into the long-standing superstition that white jerseys equal wins.
For the first time, the Patriots are pairing those white jerseys with white pants, creating a true whiteout look that they’ve never worn on this stage before. The result is sharp, minimal, and modern — a clean aesthetic that should really pop against the darker tones of the field and Seattle’s navy set.
Historically, the numbers back up the choice. Dating back to Super Bowl XXXIV, teams wearing white jerseys have won 18 of the past 26 championships. That’s the kind of stat that makes equipment managers and coaches feel a little more comfortable sticking with tradition.
Both teams will also carry an additional detail that ties the game to something bigger than football.
Each uniform will feature a commemorative patch honoring the 250th anniversary of the United States, positioned directly below the Super Bowl LX logo on the right shoulder. It’s a rare league-wide addition that connects the moment to national history, and it echoes a similar touch from Super Bowl X, when the Cowboys and Steelers wore patches celebrating America’s Bicentennial.
