jkrdevil Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Actually all the games were known as the Super Bowl at the time. If you have ever seen the NFL Films Lost Treasures series on espn you would know the the NFL Films camera crew at the Super Bowl I called the game the Super Bowl back then. The nickname caught on for Super Bowl 3 and became the official name for Super Bowl 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
