The “NFL Is Scripted” Super Bowl Logo Color Conspiracy Is Back And Predicting A Philadelphia Eagles Win

Here we go again.

There have been plenty of NFL fans who have claimed that the league is scripted lately, with most of those centering around the Kansas City Chiefs.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion has been the recipient of quite a few favorable calls lately, like some questionable penalties on their opponents and, most recently, this call that took away a first down from the Buffalo Bills late in a pivotal drive during the AFC Championship Game.

Well long story short, the Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl to face the Philadelphia Eagles – and some people are claiming that was the NFL’s plan all along thanks to a longstanding conspiracy theory surrounding the big game’s logo.

If you’re not familiar, the theory claims that past Super Bowl logos have “predicted” who matches up against one another in the big game. Super Bowl 56’s logo had an orange and yellow color scheme, with the Cincinnati Bengals (orange) and Los Angeles Rams (yellow) played in the game. The logo for Super Bowl 57 featured green and red as its colors, and  featured the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs facing off against each other.

But the conspiracy seemed to die last year in Super Bowl LVIII when the purple and red logo failed to predict the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

No worries though, because there’s an explanation for that too: Apparently the 49ers were the red team while Kansas City Chiefs were the purple team. And why were the Chiefs purple? Because Taylor Swift was the main topic of conversation surrounding the team’s Super Bowl appearance given her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce, and Taylor’s Speak Now album features a purple album cover.

A little bit of a stretch? Sure. But they had to make the conspiracy theory fit somehow.

Well with the theory being “confirmed” by past results, it’s back in 2025 and ahead of this weekend’s games, believers were already predicting a matchup between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans this year.

And while the prediction did eventually come true, it wasn’t exactly going out on a limb to predict that both of those teams would win their conference championship games. They’ve been two of the most dominant teams in the NFL this season, and with the Washington Commanders knocking off the Detroit Lions to advance to the NFC Championship Game, it seems like the Eagles had to be feeling pretty good about the matchup regardless of the logo.

But for conspiracy theorists, the logo not only claims to predict the matchup for the Super Bowl, but also the game’s results, with the team whose colors are predominant in the bottom of the logo coming out on top (or alternatively, the team whose logos are the minority color in the logo – apparently the conspiracy theorists can’t agree on this one).

So who is going to win Super Bowl LIX in a couple of weeks? Well if you believe the theory, apparently it’s going to be the Philadelphia Eagles. Whether you believe it’s the team whose colors appear in the bottom of the logo or the team whose colors are less predominant in the logo, either way the internet is claiming it appears we’re headed towards an Eagles victory:

Of course if this happens, that would have to put an end to the theory that the NFL and refs favor the Kansas City Chiefs. So either way it seems that one of these conspiracy theories is toast after the Super Bowl. But which one will survive?

We’ll know in two weeks I guess.
