You won’t believe it, but the Super Bowl 2025 logo conspiracy theory is real
Conspiracy theorists got it right and the color of the Super Bowl logo ended up deciding the two teams who made it to Super Bowl LIX.
The original analysis had the Seattle Seahawks going to Super Bowl LIX! Well, that was our main takeaway from the NFL revealing the Super Bowl 2025 logo early last year, something that conspiracy theorists believe is a surefire predictor of the two participants in the end-of-season championship game. If you didn’t already know, it all comes down to colors.
What does the Super Bowl LIX logo represent?
This year’s game will be played in New Orleans, which prompted the NFL to partner with a local artist for the first time when designing the logo. Tahj Williams, the queen of her Black Masking Indian tribe, created the logo with beads, with the league uploading a minute-long video to its social media accounts showing just how Williams did it.
The end result, a nod to the wrought-iron balconies seen along New Orleans’ French Quarter, is mainly red and green but is actually multi-colored on closer inspection, which complicates forecasting which two teams would end up in the Super Bowl, but those two main colors will be represented on Feb. 9.
What is the Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory?
The conspiracy theory began in 2022, when the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams reached Super Bowl LVI, whose logo was predominantly red and yellow. The following year, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off the in the championship game, which just so happened to have a green and red logo. You see where this is going, right?
Unfortunately for supporters of the theory, two teams that normally play in red, the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, made it to the Super Bowl in 2024, although that was at least one of the colors in the logo. With purple being the other, some incorrectly expected the Minnesota Vikings or the Baltimore Ravens to feature in Las Vegas, although the Marylanders did at least reach the AFC Championship Game.
These are the two teams that made it to the NFL final in 2025
A quick glance at logo for Super Bowl LIX and you’ll see the main colors are red and bright green. It’s true there are some other colors and shades, but red and green predominate on first glance. The conspiracy theory has come true once again as the Eagles will face the Chiefs in New Orleans.
Three-peat for the Chiefs?
The Eagles want revenge after losing to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12, 2023. But, red also dominates, which means the Chiefs could be in line for a first-ever three-peat. The conspiracy theory tries to prove which teams will make it to the Super Bowl, so we’ll leave it at that and avoid analyzing any further into who might win Super Bowl LIX.
Caesers Superdome in New Orleans will host its eighth Super Bowl on Feb. 9, 2025 and already holds the record for number of championship games. It was originally due to be the venue for the 2024 game but after the NFL added an extra week to the schedule in 2021, it was moved to Las Vegas as the game would have overlapped with Mardi Gras, celebrated in the city every year.
