Yesterday I held a poll to find out what Patriots Nation preferred for jerseys this time around and it wasn’t surprising the majority picked white, and that’s what they’ll get in Super Bowl LI.
What color would you prefer the Pats wear in SB51?

The other good news is that the Patriots were undefeated in white this season, going a perfect 8-0 on the road in them, becoming just the seventh team all-time to do so. So really, what else would you want to wear given that this is another away game? Add in that they have their best win percentage in the Super Bowl in white and it only further confirms this was the way to go.
I think we’re all a little gun shy since wearing blue back-t0-back in Super Bowls 42 and 46, so it’s good news they’ll keep the white jersey train rolling to Houston.
