The Cincinnati Bengals will wear their black jerseys with white pants in Super Bowl LVI against the Los Angeles Rams on Feb. 13.

The AFC champion Bengals traditionally wear their black jerseys for home games. They are considered the home team for the Super Bowl despite the game being played at the Rams’ home field, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

Cincinnati was awarded its choice of uniform color given its status as the “home” team.
