there have been a few instances where the league has rescinded the super bowl from cities. super bowl xxvii in 1993 was originally awarded to sun devil stadium in tempe, arizona, but after arizona voters elected not to recognize martin luther king, jr. day as a paid state-employees’ holiday in 1990, the nfl moved the game to the rose bowl in pasadena, california. when voters in arizona opted to create such a legal holiday in 1992, super bowl xxx in 1996 was awarded to tempe. super bowl xxxiii was awarded first to candlestick park in san francisco, but when plans to renovate the stadium fell through, the game was moved to pro player stadium in greater miami. super bowl xxxvii was awarded to a new stadium not yet built in san francisco, when that stadium failed to be built, the game was moved to sdccu stadium in san diego. super bowl xliv, slated for february 7, 2010, was withdrawn from new york city's proposed west side stadium, because the city, state, and proposed tenants new york jets could not agree on funding. super bowl xliv was then eventually awarded to sun life stadium in miami gardens, florida. super bowl xlix in 2015 was originally given to arrowhead stadium in kansas city, missouri, but after two sales taxes failed to pass at the ballot box, and opposition by local business leaders and politicians increased, kansas city eventually withdrew its request to host the game. super bowl xlix was then eventually awarded to university of phoenix stadium in glendale, arizona.

since super bowl xiii in january 1979, the home team is given the choice of wearing their colored or white jerseys. originally, the designated home team had to wear their colored jerseys, which resulted in dallas donning their less exposed dark blue jerseys for super bowl v. while most of the home teams in the super bowl have chosen to wear their colored jerseys, there have been six (6) exceptions: the dallas cowboys during super bowl xiii and xxvii, the washington redskins during super bowl xvii, the pittsburgh steelers during super bowl xl, the denver broncos during super bowl 50, and the new england patriots in super bowl lii. the cowboys, since , have worn white jerseys at home. the redskins wore white at home under coach joe gibbs starting in through , continued by richie petitbon and norv turner through , then again when gibbs returned from through . meanwhile, the steelers, who have always worn their black jerseys at home since the afl–nfl merger in , opted for the white jerseys after winning three consecutive playoff games on the road, wearing white. the steelers' decision was compared with the new england patriots in super bowl xx; the patriots had worn white jerseys at home during the season, but after winning road playoff games against the new york jets and miami dolphins wearing red jerseys, new england opted to switch to crimson for the super bowl as the designated home team. for the broncos in super bowl 50, denver general manager john elway simply stated, "we've had super bowl success in our white uniforms"; they previously had been in super bowls when wearing their orange jerseys. the broncos' decision is also perceived to be made out of superstition, losing all super bowl games with the orange jerseys in terrible fashion. it is unclear why the patriots chose to wear their white jerseys for super bowl lii. during the pairing of bill belichick and tom brady, new england has mostly worn their blue jerseys for home games, but have worn white for a home game in the , , and seasons. the new england patriots were 3–0 in their white uniforms in super bowls prior to super bowl lii with belichick and brady, and they may have been going on recent trends of teams who wear white for the super bowl game. white-shirted teams have won 33 of 52 super bowls to date (63%). the only teams to win in their dark-colored uniform in more recent years are the green bay packers against the pittsburgh steelers in super bowl xlv and the philadelphia eagles against the new england patriots in super bowl lii, with teams in white winning 12 of the last 14 super bowls.
