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.
The Bengals wore black jerseys and white pants in their first
Super Bowl appearance. They dropped a 26-21 decision to the San
Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XVI.
For what it's worth, they wore their white jerseys in their next
Super Bowl appearance. The 49ers posted a 20-16 win in Super
Bowl XXIII.
