Seahawks Dominate Patriots in Super Bowl LX, as Fans Turn to Logo Clues for 2027 Predictions
The confetti has barely hit the turf in Santa Clara, and already the NFL world is looking ahead. Super Bowl LX is in the books - a night that belonged to the Seattle Seahawks, who rolled to a commanding 29-13 win over the New England Patriots. It was Seattle’s first title in over a decade, and they earned it with a performance built on defense, discipline, and timely offense.
But while the Seahawks were celebrating and Bad Bunny lit up the halftime stage with his signature flair, fans online were already setting their sights on next year - and more specifically, on the freshly unveiled logo for Super Bowl LXI.
Reading Between the Lines (and Colors)
Every year, the NFL drops a new Super Bowl logo, and every year, fans put on their detective hats. The latest emblem, set for the 2027 game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, is no different. This time around, the logo features a bold orange tiger-stripe design up top, fading into a light-blue gradient that resembles water.
And that’s all fans needed to kickstart the annual tradition of logo-based prophecy.
“Looks like Cincinnati and Jacksonville to me,” one fan posted, pointing to the Bengals’ iconic tiger stripes and the Jaguars’ teal-heavy color scheme. Others chimed in with their own interpretations: “Clearly a Bengals tiger stripe,” one insisted.
Another guessed “Seahawks-Bengals??” while others saw shades of the Broncos, Eagles, Bears - even the Ravens, thanks to the logo being revealed on a purple background.
Of course, these color-coded theories didn’t pan out for this year. The 2026 Super Bowl logo had fans betting on teams like the Lions, Packers, and Ravens, based on its blue, yellow, pink, and green palette. None of them made it to Levi’s Stadium.
Still, the tradition lives on. Whether it’s superstition, wishful thinking, or just good-natured fun, fans are already trying to crack the Super Bowl code - even if history suggests the logo might be more art than oracle.
Seahawks Snap Drought with Defense-First Statement
Back on the field, Super Bowl LX was a showcase for Seattle’s defense and special teams. The Seahawks didn’t find the end zone until the fourth quarter, but by then, they had already built a cushion - thanks largely to kicker Jason Myers, who drilled three first-half field goals to give Seattle a 9-0 lead at halftime.
The Patriots, meanwhile, struggled to find their footing. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye was under siege from the jump, getting sacked three times in the first half alone. The pressure came to a head with a sideline outburst from head coach Mike Vrabel, whose frustration was clear as his offensive line failed to protect their young signal-caller.
It wasn’t just the Patriots’ offense that felt stuck in neutral - the game itself took a while to get going. With no touchdowns through three quarters, fans online didn’t hold back, calling it one of the most forgettable Super Bowl first halves in recent memory.
But things picked up after halftime. Myers added another field goal to make it 12-0, and then Sam Darnold - stepping in at quarterback for Seattle - connected with AJ Barner on a 16-yard touchdown strike that gave the Seahawks a commanding 19-0 lead.
New England finally showed signs of life when Maye hit Mack Hollins on a 35-yard touchdown pass, followed by a successful extra point from Andy Borregales. But just when the Patriots started to build momentum, Seattle’s defense slammed the door.
Devon Witherspoon came off the edge and sacked Maye, forcing a fumble that was scooped up by Uchenna Nwosu, who rumbled into the end zone for a back-breaking touchdown. That made it 26-7, and from there, Seattle just had to manage the clock.
Maye did manage to find Rhamondre Stevenson for a late seven-yard touchdown with just over two minutes left, but the outcome was never really in doubt.
What’s Next?
With the season officially over, the NFL now enters its long offseason stretch - seven months of drafts, trades, training camps, and speculation. And yes, logo theories.
Whether the orange and blue hues of the Super Bowl LXI logo end up hinting at Bengals vs. Jaguars, or whether it’s just another red herring in the NFL’s annual guessing game, one thing is clear: the road to SoFi Stadium starts now.
And after what we saw in Santa Clara, the Seahawks are officially back in the Super Bowl conversation - not because of a logo, but because they earned it.
