The Super Bowl logos color scheme has had NFL fans crazed over the conspiracy theory that the participating teams are predetermined and rigged.
The buzz started when the Bengals played the Rams in Super Bowl LVI, which did notably have a strong comparison to the team colorways. The three Super Bowls since then have had much looser ties, albeit the narrative that the Chiefs get preferential treatment.
The Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl logo had hues of green and red in it. The Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl transitioned from red to purple, but hey, both teams are red (right?!)! Then, this year’s Super Bowl also has red and green in it, but a much brighter, neon green than the Eagles’ dark green.
Too coincidental?! Nonsense.
Now, a Lions beat reporter posted a “leaked” Super Bowl LX logo for the 2025 season, and boy does it feed the narrative for a Cowboys comeback. It’s fair to note the logo also fits the Lions color scheme, and being a Lions beat reporter, was probably his intention of sharing it.
Nevertheless, we’re here for the Cowboys fodder. WFAA’s Mike Leslie quipped at a social media graphic which places the Titans and Cowboys as the “rigged” Super Bowl contestants.
“Lol I’m not sure which part of this is less believable,” Leslie said.
The Cowboys hold the longest NFC Championship drought in the league, which Stephen Jones notably “air quoted” in new head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s introductory press conference. It’s a fact: Dallas hasn’t been to the NFC Championship, much less the Super Bowl, since 1995.
Could that all be coming to an end in rookie head coach Schotty’s first year? What a story that would be. Almost so good to be a movie … script.
