Football fans are once again buzzing about the infamous Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory as the NFL playoffs heat up.
This theory, which links the color scheme of the Super Bowl logo to the teams that make it to the championship, has resurfaced with some intriguing developments heading into the 2025 postseason.
A brief history of the theory
The conspiracy theory first gained traction after fans noticed that the color of the Super Bowl logos in past years seemed to match the colors of the teams that ended up in the big game.

For example, Super Bowl 56 (Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals) and Super Bowl 57 (Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs) both featured logos with color schemes that matched the teams’ colors.
Despite the theory being debunked last year when the Baltimore Ravens failed to make the Super Bowl – with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers instead competing – the theory didn’t remain debunked for long. As we approach the 2025 playoff season, fans are starting to notice the pattern again.
With the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and Baltimore Ravens still alive in the playoffs, the theory is back in full swing. As the MLFootball Twitter account pointed out, the colors in this year’s Super Bowl logo appear to align with the remaining playoff teams. The Chiefs’ red, the Eagles’ midnight green, and the Ravens’ purple are all prominently represented in the logo, sparking renewed interest in the conspiracy.
Now, as the NFC and AFC Championship Games approach, the question is whether the logo conspiracy will hold true this year. The Chiefs, favored to advance, are one of the front-runners, but all eyes will be on the Eagles to see if they can maintain their spot. If they do, the theory will remain intact, keeping fans on edge to see if the logo’s color scheme accurately predicts the Super Bowl matchup.
As the final playoff games unfold, the theory continues to captivate fans, with many wondering if it will prove true once again. The Super Bowl logo conspiracy may have been debunked in the past, but it seems far from over – and fans will be watching closely to see if this year’s NFL postseason will make believers out of them.
