Super Bowl Script: Coincidences or Conspiracy

There’s a long-running gag that there’s a Super Bowl script involving the logo of the big game, and it comes up again ahead of Super Bowl 59. 

How exactly? 

The colors used in the logo and, more specifically, the color toward the bottom of the logo signal the Super Bowl winner.

Super Bowl Script Theory in Recent Years

Another layer to this conspiracy came in 2022 when former NFL running back Arian Foster made a remark about the league being scripted. 

This seemingly held up with Super Bowl 56, when the Los Angeles Rams (gold) beat the Cincinnati Bengals (orange), and Super Bowl 57, when the Philadelphia Eagles (various shades of green) beat the Kansas City Chiefs (red).

This didn’t happen in Super Bowl 58, as the colors seemingly signaled the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens. 

However, it wasn’t the Ravens who appeared in the Super Bowl. It was the Chiefs again. 

That said, the 49ers did appear. Their color wasn’t on the bottom, and they lost. 

So, going with this theory, it was somewhat correct. 

While the Ravens didn’t make Super Bowl 58, some have pointed to Taylor Swift's 2010 album “Speak Now,” which has a purple color scheme. 

Of course, Swift is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. His team won, and purple was the “bottom color.”

Yeah, that one is certainly a bit of a stretch.

Is There a Script for Super Bowl 59?

This year's Super Bowl 59 logo features red and a shade of green. The teams featured in the big game are the Chiefs and Eagles, in a rematch of Super Bowl 57. The Chiefs have made the Super Bowl for three straight years. 

Looking at the logo, the "bottom color" can go either way. 

There’s a mix of green and red on both sides of the logo, but to indulge the theory, I’d say it’s more green than red. 

So, we’ll see—do the Eagles win the game and prove the retroactive conspiracy correct? Or does Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes add another ring to his collection?

We shall see.

Is Super Bowl Scripted?

In short, no. 

Yes, there are certainly some interesting coincidences. However, with multiple teams sometimes having the colors on the logo, it’s impossible to confidently pick which team.

For example, when the logo for Super Bowl 59 was announced, and the colors were red and that shade of green, you could argue that the red could belong to the Chiefs, 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, or Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Heck, if the Bills made it, people would point to the red that’s within an otherwise predominantly blue logo. 

As for the green, I’m sorry, but I don’t look at that shade and think Eagles. Yes, the Eagles have green in their logo, but that color is more closely related to a team like the Seattle Seahawks. 

I even saw some speculation when the logo came out that the green could be the Los Angeles Rams because if you combined the primary colors in the logo—blue and yellow—you’d get green. 

So, while it’s fun to point to the logo, it’s obvious the NFL isn’t scripted.
