Tom Brady, who seeks his record sixth Super Bowl crown, threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns in the 2005 victory, while receiver Deion Branch caught 11 passes for 133 yards to earn the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award.
The Patriots improved to 3-1 in Super Bowls while wearing white jerseys in last year's triumph over Atlanta. They are 2-2 in blue jerseys in the Super Bowl and 0-1 when wearing red ones
The Eagles are 0-2 while wearing green in the Super Bowl, also losing to Oakland in Super Bowl 15.
