LAS VEGAS – A theory circulating among people across the nation suggests that the Super Bowl logos in recent years may have predicted which teams would compete in the game. This popular conspiracy has gained traction, as fans have noted the color schemes of the logos aligning with the teams that ultimately reach the championship. The NFL’s decision to introduce vibrant colors back into the Super Bowl logo after years of monotony has fueled speculation about the design’s connection to the game’s outcome.
For the 2021 season, the NFL unveiled a logo for Super Bowl LVI featuring warm red, orange, and yellow tones. This colorful design echoed the energy of the game held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Interestingly, the Los Angeles Rams, dressed in yellow pants, triumphed over the Cincinnati Bengals, adorned in orange and black, to claim the title.
Super Bowl LVII in the following year saw the NFL present a desert-themed logo with various hues, including the Kansas City Chiefs’ red and the Philadelphia Eagles’ green. Notably, the Chiefs emerged victorious over the Eagles, securing their second Super Bowl win in just four seasons.
Shortly after the Chiefs’ win, the NFL unveiled the logo for Super Bowl LVIII, which will be hosted in Las Vegas for the first time ever on February 11, 2024. The design draws inspiration from the city’s bright lights, prominently featuring purple and red, the colors of the top two teams from the 2023 regular season.
Looking ahead, the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers are strong contenders to face off at Allegiant Stadium. Having earned the No. 1 seed in their respective conferences, both teams will have the advantage of playing on their home fields during the conference championship games.
If the Ravens defeat the Chiefs and the 49ers take down the Detroit Lions, it would not only set the stage for a Super Bowl XLVII rematch but also mark the third consecutive year in which the Super Bowl logo color scheme matches the teams participating in the championship game. As this pattern continues, the conspiracy theory gains further traction.
Only time will tell if the Super Bowl logos hold any predictive power or if these intriguing coincidences are just that – coincidences. Fans and observers eagerly await the outcome of the conference championship games and the subsequent unveiling of the Super Bowl LVIII logo, which may offer further insight into this mysterious phenomenon.
