2022 Super Bowl uniforms: Bengals unveil combo with perfect tweet, Rams go with rare jerseys

Even though the Super Bowl is being played in Los Angeles this year, the Cincinnati Bengals will actually be the home team for the game and because of that, the Bengals got to make the first choice on which uniform to wear for Super Bowl LVI. 

Even though teams wearing white have won 14 of the past 17 Super Bowls, the Bengals have decided they’re going to try and buck that trend: The team will be going with their black jerseys. The team will pair the jersey with white pants and orange socks. 

The fact that the Bengals made the announcement by putting the uniform on a clothes hanger is a pretty hilarious inside joke for their fans. 

Back in April, the Bengals released new uniforms, but that release wasn’t the first time that most fans had seen the new look jerseys. About a month before the new uniforms came out, someone leaked the new duds on Twitter and when that happened, they shared a picture of the new uniform on a clothes hanger. 

The clothes hanger is now an infamous part of Bengals lore. 

The fact that the Bengals are going to wear their black uniforms will likely come as surprise to some fans, who probably thought the Bengals might wear white after beating both the Chiefs and Titans in that color.  

The Bengals clearly aren’t a superstitious team, otherwise they probably would have gone with white. Not only did they go 7-3 in white uniforms this year, but as we mentioned at the top, teams wearing white have won 14 OF THE PAST 17 Super Bowls. In last year’s Super Bowl, the Buccaneers wore their road white uniforms even though they were the home team playing in their home stadium. 

On the Bengals’ end, they went just 2-4 wearing black this season, but one of those wins did come against the Raiders in the wild-card round when Cincinnati ended its 31-year drought without a postseason win. 

This will mark the second time the Bengals have worn black in a Super Bowl….
