While the confetti has barely settled on the Seattle Seahawks’ victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, the NFL unveiled the logo for Super LXI on Monday as league officials handed the game off from Santa Clara to the Los Angeles area.
The design for Super Bowl LXI, which will take place on Feb. 14, 2027, follows the same template as the previous five Super Bowls, with the Vince Lombardi Trophy placed among Roman numerals that include some local flavor and a bright color scheme.
This practice started the last time that SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California – home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams – hosted the event, as there were palm trees scattered among an orange-to-yellow gradient sunset effect for Super Bowl LVI.
That was followed by an Arizona desert landscape for LVII, buildings along the Las Vegas strip for LVIII, wrought-iron balconies seen throughout the French Quarter in New Orleans in LIX and San Francisco-related imagery such as the Golden Gate Bridge in LX.
Next seasons design, naturally, maintains the Southern California sunset motif that could be seen in the logo for Super Bowl LVI but incorporates a breaking wave design into the numerals, using various shades of blue and green.
This will be the ninth time the Los Angeles area has hosted the Super Bowl, including the first AFL-NFL World Championship Games (retroactively known as Super Bowl I) and VII at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Super Bowl XI, XIV, XVII, XXI and XXVII at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and LVI.
