In sports all factors play a role, including luck, and that is why over the years we have known cabals that appeal precisely to the attraction of luck. There are traditions or rituals that range from stepping on the court with the right foot, wearing an amulet or wearing a garment and In the NFL, wearing white at the Super Bowl becomes more important.
For some years it demanded the belief that the team that played in white lost the Super Bowl, which is why the theory of a curse for the visiting team arose, however This trend began to change since 2005.
Since then, only three teams were left with Vince Lombardi playing in the home uniform or anyone who was not white, so what was once considered a curse now became a blessing.
