What Is The Least Recognizable NFL Logo?
The Washington Commanders Super Bowl odds changed wildly during the 2024-25 NFL season as the franchise’s second season out from under the influence of former owner Dan Snyder was a smashing success.
But how is the team’s rebrand going in terms of logo recognition in the wake of a 12-5 season and an NFC Championship Game appearance? Using a quiz from Sporcle.com, BetVirginia.com found out which NFL logos are most forgettable and least recognizable. We created a ranked list based on the percentage of quiz takers who guessed the logo correctly, from lowest percentage to highest, within the time limit. Folks using Virginia sports betting sites likely would fare better than the average respondent on such a quiz.

Where Washington Commanders Rank
Washington’s NFL team has been called the Commanders for three seasons and their team colors of burgundy and gold have not changed for decades.
Still, it seems the Commanders lag behind most NFL teams when it comes to logo recognition. Washington placed fourth on our list, with 86.5% of quiz takers getting the answer right within the time limit.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the least identifiable logo, according to numbers provided by Sporcle, at an 83.8% recognition rate. This seems a little surprising, considering that the franchise won a Super Bowl in the 2020 season.
As for the 2025-26 NFL season, VA sports betting apps rate Washington’s NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, as the early betting line favorites. The defending champions have odds ranging from +600 to +650 on the Eagles winning a second straight Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Commanders are listed at odds between +1800 to +2300, depending on the operator.
