Patriots wearing white at Super Bowl LIII: good or bad sign?

Superstition in the NFL is a funny, funny thing.

Some players, coaches, and staffers claim to not give any credence to superstitious rituals or belief systems that can’t be explained by science or physical/mental ability on the field. These individuals don’t buy into murky concepts like luck, momentum, or karma, feeling that if they go out and execute better than their opposition for 60 minutes, a win is all but guaranteed.

Bill Belichick is a perfect example of this mentality. Just imagine offering Belichick a red, white, and blue rabbit’s foot, or asking him to wear his grey hoodie with the cut-off sleeves because you think it’s lucky.
