The Top Five Greatest (And Stone Cold Worst) Super Bowl Logos Of All Time
One of the most iconic parts of Super Bowl lore is the lasting image left by that year’s logo. Some are so classic, so clever, they’re forever etched in our memory. Conversely, others belong in the trash heap of history—and this is my personal tribute to them all.
And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting about 30 seconds for …
(Drumroll, please) 🥁🥁🥁
THE BEST OF THE BEST
I spent way more time on these than I should, but it appears I have a type. My favorite logos either possess that classic patriotic red, white, and blue pop or perfectly represent the host city.
See how many of these transport you back in time …
AND THE VERY WORST
Apparently, the NFL cut its entire logo design budget for a half-decade of cookie-cutter boredom in the 2010s—I guess, technically, they aren’t exactly the same.
And this year’s logo. There may not be any beads, but there are some hints of New Orleans in there.

Super Bowl Bets🏈🏆—Pick A Peck Of Profitable Props
To their own detriment, my bosses insisted I have some fun with today’s newsletter. So if you’re looking for my usual geeky, stat-dense geeky, check out this week’s previous Betting Life editions on both the Chiefs and Eagles.
Variety’s the spice of life, right?
Xavier Worthy, Game Leader Receptions (+350) .25u: Kansas City’s rookie speedster has really come on as of late, leading the Chiefs in catches since Week 11. If Patrick Mahomes finds himself trailing Philly without a viable ground option, expect him to target his new “old reliable” in the short passing game.
DeVonta Smith Game Leader in Receptions (+700) .10u: Obviously we can only hit this bet once, but the price is right for a nice profit either way. In Monday’s newsletter, we highlighted Steve Spagnuolo’s particularly stubborn defensive style. Lots of press-man coverage outside with two safeties deep tends to leave the middle of the field open—and no team in the league surrendered more slot receptions in 2024 than the Chiefs. Fade the Dallas Goedert hype against a good TE-defending linebacking crew.
Hollywood Brown Game Leader in Receiving Yards (+900) .10u: The addition of Hollywood Brown as a vertical field stretcher hasn’t quite worked out to plan … yet. While Marquis’ yardage total has yet to pop in the boxscore, he still has a higher average depth of target than both Worthy and Travis Kelce. Could take just a couple of deep shots to get there—it’s 9:1 for a reason.
+48-Yard FG During Game (-115) To Win 1.0u: OK, I had to post at least one prop that could realistically hit for us on Sunday or I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror tomorrow. Granted, neither kicker’s known for a massive Sebastian Janikowski-esque leg, but I think the market’s short-selling the indoor aspect. The Chiefs and Eagles combined for 15 +50-yard FG attempts in 2024-25, of which they hit only 4 (gulp). That said, they’re both cold-weather teams and trying to boot ~259 cubic inches of frozen leather prolate spheroid (yes, I did the math and geometry) is no fun, and darn near impossible. The two conference champs did combine for a pair of indoor attempts during the season, to a 50% success rate. Our best chance to hit is either at the end of a half or overtime—so remember to be patient with this one.
Super Bowl Bets, Part Deux🏈🏆—Scorigami, Anyone?
THE BET: Super Bowl Scorigami, YES (+2500); 0.10u
Let’s get weird.
In case you were wondering, a scorigami is a unique score that’s never happened in an NFL game before—and it’s not as rare in the Super Bowl as you may think. So far through 56 championship games, we’ve had three scorigamis for a 5.3% hit rate.
Super Bowl XXI (Jan. 25, 1987)—New York Giants 39, Denver Broncos 20
Super Bowl XXIV (Jan. 28, 1990)—San Francisco 49ers 55, Denver Broncos 10
Super Bowl XLVIII (Feb. 2, 2014)—Seattle Seahawks 43, Denver Broncos 8
Before I could properly dive into the historicals, I needed some boundaries, figuring we could use upper and lower bounds as a plausible range. For reference, the highest Super Bowl score was back in Super Bowl XXIX when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers with a final score of 49-26 on January 29, 1995, combining for 75 points. And the lowest score happened in Super Bowl LIII, when the New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams in a 13-3 snooze-fest on Feb. 3, 2019, totaling just 16 points.
Believe it or not, that still left 459 unique scores (sigh). No choice but to keep on trimming the fat. No one’s ever scored over 55 or fewer than 3 points in the Super Bowls so I lopped those off too, leaving us with 260 combinations.
Neither Jalen Hurts nor Patrick Mahomes topped 41 points this season, nor scored less than 15 in a single contest … now we’re getting somewhere.
