What is the Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory? What to know about this year’s colors
Super Bowl LIX is fast approaching as the final four teams face off against each other this weekend.
Many football fans will tune in this weekend to see if the infamous Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory reigns true.
What is the Super Bowl logo theory?
The Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory proposes that the colors in the logo predict which teams will play against each other in the championship NFL playoff game. This year those teams will be two of the following: the Buffalo Bills, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Commanders and the Kansas City team.
The conspiracy became popular when fans noticed colors of the Super Bowl logos in past years seemed to match the colors of the teams that made it to the big game.
- For Super Bowl LVI in 2022 the logo featured red, orange and yellow tones. The two teams that faced off against each other were the Los Angeles Rams, known for their blue and yellow hues, and the orange and black Cincinnati Bengals.
- That next year for Super Bowl LVII the logo represented an Arizona desert landscape with teal, pink and orange colors. The two teams who faced off were the red Kansas City Chiefs and the green Philadelphia Eagles.
- The theory lost momentum last year when the Baltimore Ravens failed to make it to the Super Bowl, leaving the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers to play against each other.
What colors are in the Super Bowl logo this year?
Now the theory is back in full swing as the colors in this year’s Super Bowl logo seems to match some of the remaining playoff teams.
The Chiefs’ red and the Eagles’ green are colors that make up this year’s Super Bowl logo. Hmmm.
Fans are looking forward to this weekend in determining whether this theory is a certified way to predict Super Bowl matchups or just another failed conspiracy theory.
