Fans are convinced 2026 Super Bowl teams have already been decided… so has your team made it?

One of the biggest prevailing theories as to which NFL teams will make the Super Bowl has returned, with the logo color theory, meaning the colors of the official game logo will take the field. 

The two predominant colors in the Super Bowl LX logo are light blue and purple, reminiscent of the main colors of the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens.  

Of course, both of those teams are among the top teams in each conference, with that matchup not hard to imagine more than five months away from the championship clash.  

Both the Lions and Ravens lost in the Divisional round last year respectively to the Washington Commanders and Buffalo Bills. 

Two of the last three years, the logo has correctly identified the participants.  The green and red in the 2025 Super Bowl logo design represented the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. 

Two seasons ago was a miss, with a purple-and-red logo, leading NFL theorists to believe it would be a Super Bowl between the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. The NFC pick was correct, but the Chiefs dynasty was not disrupted. 

The logo-color theory leads to the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens playing in the big game

The Super Bowl logo from 2023 was also green and red, with the Chiefs and Eagles meeting in that game.  

There are also minor colors of green, yellow, and red in the Super Bowl 60 logo, which could point to a few others. 

Not only could the 49ers, Eagles, and Chiefs return to the NFL’s championship game, but the Commanders, Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Rams, and Los Angeles Chargers could all make the case. 

The Super Bowl 60 logo has more colors in it than most championship-game designs in recent memory, giving more cover to those that believe the theory. 

The Lions have never appeared in a Super Bowl, while the Ravens have not played in one since they won it in 2012.
