Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory, explained: Why 2024 colors might predict a 49ers vs. Ravens rematch
Have the NFL script writers been hinting at this year’s Super Bowl matchup all along? That depends on if you believe in the magic of … colors.
Football conspiracy theorists have been having a field day this year with the whole “script writing” bonanza. While there could not be anything more random than sports, there are fans out there that truly believe the league is rigged for certain teams to win.
However, there is undoubtedly a trend with the last two Super Bowl logos and its participants, coincidence or not. If the pattern follows into this season, that means we are set up for a 49ers vs. Ravens Super Bowl, which is a very real possibility, considering the two teams lead their respective conferences heading into the final three weeks of the season.
But what exactly is the conspiracy with the Super Bowl colors that is predicting a San Francisco vs. Baltimore rematch? The Sporting News explains.

Super Bowl 2024 logo conspiracy theory
Each year, the NFL changes the Super Bowl logo, giving a unique design for each championship game. The graphic is revealed ahead of the season, far in advance of the actual big game and before any teams officially begin the hunt for the playoffs.
In early November, the social media account, NFL Memes, posted an intriguing image on X, formerly Twitter. The post had the logos for this year’s Super Bowl, as well as the previous two championships, and there is a unique pattern that could be developing

For Super Bowl 56, the colors on the Super Bowl logo were a dark orange and yellow. Who played in that Super Bowl? The Bengals (orange) and the Rams (yellow).
The same thing can be said about Super Bowl 57. The logo was made up of the colors green and red, and it was the Eagles (green) and the Chiefs (red) that ended up fighting for the Lombardi Trophy.
With that trend put in place, fans have pointed out the red and purple colors in the logo for Super Bowl 58. The fact that the 49ers and Ravens have been two of the most consistently dominant teams in the 2023 season certainly has raised some eyebrows, as there is a very real case that the NFL could have a rematch of the Harbaugh Bowl from the 2012 season.
Of course, the 49ers aren’t the only team with red as their primary colors. The Chiefs, Cardinals, Falcons and Buccaneers are all candidates to fit the conspiracy theory as well. But let’s face it, besides Kansas City, it’s highly unlikely any of the others are one of the last two teams standing.
The same can be said about purple, with the Vikings also fitting into the same category as the Ravens. However, Minnesota is fighting to get into the playoffs, and don’t seem like a team fit for a deep postseason run.
So if you’re one to read way too much into conspiracy theories and completely random patterns, perhaps throw some dough on the 49ers and Ravens to win their respective conferences. It’s only a few weeks away before NFL fanatics will see if the colors are telling the truth.
