You're a genius if you can spot the hidden secret optical illusion in Carolina Panthers logo

NFL fans have discovered a hidden secret in the Carolina Panthers logo and it is fascinating.

A Reddit user shared a post claiming that the Panthers logo was shaped to resemble the outline of North and South Carolina's borders.

It's not the easiest thing to see when first glancing at the logo.

The Panther shape doesn't exactly fit perfectly between the two states, if at all.

But, if you hold the logo next to a map of the United States and move it over to the Atlantic coast, you will see a vaguely similar outline of the Carolinas.

One Reddit user and NFL fan decided to test the theory and created a GIF to show the resemblance, which he shared in the Reddit post.

They dropped the logo over the two states on the map and expanded the image.

It was similar but it could still be argued that it's a coincidence since much of the logo still sticks out of the edges. 

However, the Carolina logo isn't the only hidden optical image in sports.

The Houston Rockets "R" logo is the shape of a rocket on a launch stand.

The Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., is depicted in the Washington Capitals logo. 

It's a hidden "F" in the Atlanta Falcons logo as it sits inside the middle, surrounded by feathers. 

The Philadelphia Eagles also have a hidden letter in their logo. 

Philadelphia has an "E" at the back of the Eagles' head.  

There are dozens of examples of hidden images in logos, and it's crazy to see how we always look and miss these elements.
