With under two weeks to go until Super Bowl Sunday, fans of both teams are grasping at whatever positive omens they can find in the hope it pays off in the 'Big Game'.
The latest one doing the rounds on social media spells good news for fans of the 49ers, but not so much for the Chiefs.
One viral stat shows that every time the Niners have won the NFC Championship game against a team that has a shade of blue in their logo, they've gone on to win the Super Bowl.
Any time they've beaten a non-blue logo team in the NFC title game, they've gone on to lose the Super Bowl.

The omen dates back to 1982 when the 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys - who have a blue star as their logo- in the conference title game.
San Fran subsequently went on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI.
In 1985 and 1989 the team from California beat the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship game, who have a dark blue hue in their logo.
Both seasons the Niners won the Super Bowl, beating the Miami Dolphins and Bengals respectively.

In 1990 and 1995 the 49ers beat two more teams with a shade of blue in their logo - the Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams - and won the Super Bowl that year.
However, things came unstuck in 2013 when they beat the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC title game, who don't have blue in their logo.

The 49ers lost Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens.
The omen struck again in 2020 when they beat the Green Bay Packers in the penultimate game of the season.
The Packers don't have any blue in their logo and, shockingly, the 49ers lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs.
And so the theory goes that because the 49ers beat the Detroit Lions (whose logo is famously all-blue) in this season's NFC Championship game, they will therefore beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
It remains to be seen if the omen continues this season.
But if you're a 49ers fan, you're likely feeling a bit better about your chances in Super Bowl LVIII having just discovered the blue logo omen.
