What is the ‘Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory’ and why are NFL fans buying into it?
Sigh.
With the AFC and NFC championship rounds fast approaching, NFL fans — and sports betting sites — are up to their sere tactics when it comes to playoff games being scripted like an Oscar-nominated movie. There’s one unique conspiracy that has been floating around the past few seasons that is helping sprout new believers: The Super Bowl logo conspiracy.
This theory revolves around the Super Bowl logo’s colors matching those of the teams that will face off in the title game. And Super Bowl 58’s color dance happens to be purple and red.
Meaning the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers.
This theory came about when fans started noticing that the past two Super Bowls featured the dueling colors of the teams that ended up playing in the big game.

Take note of the date on that tweet: Nov. 7, 2023.
Going back two years, the LVI logo was orange and yellow, which happened to be the colors of the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams. The following year, the LVII logo was green and red, and it was the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs that ended up facing off.
Mere coincidence? Fans think not.

By the color scheme of the super bowl logo, it is easy to tell that, it will be 49ers VS Ravens...

Since the Super Bowl logo is purple & red I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s a ravens 49ers matchup

NFL had Ravens and Niners from the start of the year. Look at the logo for the Super Bowl.

People have also been speculating about which team will walk away with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, based on the position of the colors on the logo.
Okay I ain't a conspiracy theory guy but whoever made this is cooking. So by this logic the color that showing on the bottom of the logo represents the team that won and going to win, so the Ravens are going to win the superbowl. pic.twitter.com/Z2TOh0Og0Q

This isn’t the first time fans AND players have fed into this theory and others that games are scripted. And we mean all the games.
Last year, former Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins running back Arian Foster jokingly(?) said on the Barstool Sports podcast “Macrodosing” that players receive seasonal “scripts” during training camp that lay out the entire game plan, McClatchy News reported.
“That’s what practice was about — it was about practicing the script. … It’s like WWF — we know what’s going to happen, but you’ve still got to put on a show,” Foster said.
The AFC Championship Game will see the Chiefs visit the Ravens (3 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 28, on CBS), while the 49ers host the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game (6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 28, on Fox.
Super Bowl 58 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
