Does he not see the fact that the entire superbowl theme was focused around 9/11?
Is it just a coinsidence that the colors for superbowl logo just happened to be the same as the Pats colors?

Everything was still patriotic at that point in time--it was hardly surprising for anything on the level of the SB to choose 9/11 as a backdrop. Speaking as someone who fled his office as the nearby Pentagon burned on that fateful day, I probably would have been deeply upset had the NFL not chosen to honor the fallen, the first responders, and the military.
Thus, it's silly to draw the logo/Patriots parallel. I suspect they chose that logo long before the AFCCG was decided. That noted, the Patriots' logo is red, white, blue, and silver. The logo had no silver.
