And it all comes down to the NFL seemingly knowing who was going to be playing in the game, happening at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, from the very beginning. Or so we’re told.
Yes, we’re talking about the Super Bowl logo controversy which has reared its head for 2025 as the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles look to battle it out for the Lombardi Trophy on Sunday (9 February).
But over on the wonderful world of Reddit, chatter has started around the colours used in the official logo for Super Bowl LIX; something that was decided upon long before the teams were known.
Taking over the Pat McAfee Show Official subreddit, NFL fans were busy chatting through the conspiracy about the colours used.

That’s because, once again, the main colours you can see in the logo mirror those worn by the two teams taking part, with the Chiefs’ red and the Eagles’ green forming the majority of the design.
It’s not the first time the colours have matched up, either, hence the growth of such a conspiracy. Two years ago when the Chiefs beat the Eagles the colours were also green and red, albeit different shades of this year’s creation.
And with the internet being the internet, some claim the NFL is involved in a (baseless) secret plan to maximise its own back pockets by deciding all of this in advance. Yes, really.

The problem with the conspiracy, outside of being totally baseless, is that it had a major blip in 2024.
With a purple and orange design, you might have been thinking we could have had the Baltimore Ravens face off against the Detroit Lions.
Instead, we had the red and gold of the San Francisco 49ers up against the red and white of the Chiefs. Unlucky, lads.
“People want to believe there’s some sort of grand conspiracy when there isn’t,” one Redditor wrote about the blip when discussing this year’s colours.
Responding, one person cheekily wrote: “That sounds like something someone who is in on the conspiracy would say.”
And a third said: “But the conspiracy was true until [NFL Commissioner] Roger Goodell heard what fans were up to and changed it up last second. Its true until it’s not true, then when it’s not true, it’s a conspiracy for changing. Makes sense… if you just don’t think.”
