The Patriots are technically the home team in Super Bowl LX. They prefer not to be.<\/p>\n
With an unprecedented 9-0 record when not playing in Gillette Stadium, the Patriots opted to continue their 2025 \u201cRoad Warriors\u201d vibe by wearing white jerseys next Sunday. <\/p>\n
As explained by Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, team captains and the leadership council voted to embrace the away uniforms<\/a>. <\/p>\n Coach Mike Vrabel showed the team a clip from the 1979 film The Warriors in October, as the Patriots began a three-game stretch at Buffalo, New Orleans, and Tennessee.<\/p>\n It sparked receiver Mack Hollins\u2019s modified barefoot stadium arrival<\/a> last Sunday, mimicking the moment in the film when Luther, clinking three beer bottles together on his fingers, repeatedly says, \u201cWar-ri-ors, come out to play-eee-ay<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI ran out of [WWE] clips to show them about the \u2018Road Warriors\u2019 [tag team],\u201d Vrabel said this week. \u201cSo, the next thing I could think of was that movie clip, and that\u2019s what we went with. It\u2019s amazing what sticks. Here we are at the end of January, and it\u2019s still sticking.\u201d<\/p>\n They\u2019ll try to make it stick through to a tenth straight win in seven days.<\/p>\n \u201cGoing on the road, into a hostile environment, it\u2019s something we just kind of got conditioning to doing,\u201d receive Stefon Diggs said. \u201cA lot of guys from this team come from different backgrounds, different teams, being cut, signed in free agency. There\u2019s no sob story. We\u2019re going to band together and find a way to win. I think that\u2019s why the \u2018Road Warrior\u2019 mentality translated so well.\u201d<\/p>\n The Road Warrior vibe may apply again in Santa Clara. It\u2019s a closer trip for Seahawks fans, who travel well. There\u2019s a chance the building will be largely pro-Seahawks. Which could play right into the Patriots\u2019 bottle-jangling hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Patriots are technically the home team in Super Bowl LX.
