What are the Super Bowl colors for this year?

With Super Bowl LVIII just days away from kickoff, the excitement and the hype is almost at its peak. Every NFL fan, especially the fanbases of the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs are on the edge of their seats with anticipation of the big day. This is what the Super Bowl does to people as it is without a doubt one of the biggest sporting events in the World.

This year the Super Bowl is taking place in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada which is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders. This is the first time in the Super Bowl’s 58-year history that the biggest game of the year in the NFL is taking place in the ‘Entertainment Capital of the World’.

The Super Bowl is unique for all the events it packs for seven days before the final game. It attracts a lot of tourists and celebrities alike and everyone is treated to a fun experience even before the game begins. It also boasts of the best halftime show amongst the top sports leagues and performing at the Super Bowl is a dream come true for many artists.

Preparing for this big event on an annual basis requires meticulous planning from the host city and the league as well. Even some of the smallest things go a long way in making the NFL the grand success that it is today. Having said that, let us find out more about the NFL and its Super Bowl logos which are equally unique in their presentations.

Colors for the 2024 Super Bowl

The colors for the 2024 Super Bowl to be played in Las Vegas are red and purple. The two-tone color scheme was used in Super Bowl Logos for the first time since Super Bowl LVI which took place in 2022. NFL logos have come a long way from the initial days when technology was not so advanced to today's modern-day techniques.

However, the two-tone color scheme has only been adopted since 2022 as it is a compromise between what the NFL wants in a standard Super Bowl logo and what the fans want in the logo representing the host city.

But, the new color scheme quickly caught the eye of sharp-eyed fans who were quick to call out a theory related to the new logos. After the Super Bowl LVIII’s updated logo with the color scheme was made public, fans pointed out how this was a clue regarding which two teams were likely to be in the Super Bowl in 2024.

To back their claims, fans shared an image on social media stating that the colors of Super Bowl LVI were orange and yellow and the two teams that participated in the game that year were the Cincinnati Bengals (orange) and the Los Angeles Rams (yellow). The next year, Super Bowl LVII had a color scheme of green and red and the two teams to make the Super Bowl were the Philadelphia Eagles (green) and the Kansas City Chiefs (red).

Therefore, when Super Bowl LVIII’s logo came out, fans voiced their opinions that the red and purple scheme meant that Super Bowl LVIII would be between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. However, that theory has now been put to bed as it is the Chiefs that made Super Bowl LVIII over the Ravens.

How are Super Bowl colors determined?

The story behind the Super Bowl logo colors was explained by a former art director for the NFL named Michael Irwin. He mentioned that while these color theories are fun, the reality is that Super Bowl logos are planned a few years in advance.

The logos of Super Bowls for each year are different with a unique design and they try to represent the host city in some form or the other in the logos. And as for the new batch of logos with the dual-tone colors, it is again according to the city in which the Super Bowl is being hosted.

There is really no other explanation as to how the colors of the logo are selected. Every part of the logo design is based on the host city and the things about the city that can be incorporated into the logo.
