winters in buffalo Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 The Roman numerals are starting to look silly. They really should just go with Super Bowl 41. Tradition, i guess.Though it will look silly 10 years from now when they have SUPER BOWL L.yeah, right. What about 59? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tradition, i guess.Though it will look silly 10 years from now when they have SUPER BOWL L.yeah, right. No worse than SB V or SB X.

Cyclopsis Joe Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I was wondering how long it would take for someone would bring up SB 30...Edit: "how long"..I MADE A FUNNY! I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdm1219inpenna Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 From the research I've done watching videos, surfing the web about the subject, I believe the late great Pete Rozelle was the one who had the idea of using Roman numerals for the Super Bowl games, to signify the "merger" between the AFL and NFL. He wanted Roman Numerals because he felt that football players were like gladiators from the Roman times, playing in coliseums, etc, and felt adding the Roman numerals gave it more of that "feel" if you will.Regards,Bill McD.

DGivens87 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I like that logo, even if it's just the committee's logo right now. I think that'd look sharp as a patch.

Mac the Knife Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 My guess (and that's all it is) is that after SB XLIX, you'll see the "50th Annual Super Bowl" or something similar, like the Grey Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmackman Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 For Miami I think this year they should do it all in Spanish! Hehe...instead of the Super Bowl it will be the Tazón de fuente Estupendo! Of course some moron will then say on TV...ESTUPIDO instead of ESTUPENDO turning the Super Bowl into the Stupid Bowl. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle.

CFSize24 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 For Super Bowl LIX they could get those unemployed Panthers cheerleaders for a halftime show. Oh wait, that will be in 19 years..... maybe not.

griffelh Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The Roman Numeral thing is just a display of the pomposity of the NFL. They think it makes it look more important. Well, I have news for them, the Super Bowl is about as big as it gets anyway, and doing away withthe stupid roman numeral thing would have no effect on that whatsoever.

BadSeed84 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Well look at WWE Wrestlemania21 now 22, looks as if they may be done with roman numeral, but i BET they will go back to them, for XXV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And had you not truncated my entire quote to suit your needs, you'd see that the next sentence explained that "XXX XXX" was a joke reference to "triple X times 2", and would never be used by any sane person for Super Bowl LX. It was continuing the immature snickering over the 59th Super Bowl being Super Bowl LIX.Feel better now? "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it...

njmeadowlanders Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I hope that's not it...what is that I anyway? A pylon or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I love how the XL letters are almost identical to this years logo. The pylon reference is clever, but it's really distracting since its not the same persepctive of the other letters. the red shadow is so much larger, it just makes it look bad. There haven't been very many bad Super Bowl logos in recent history, so I hope that's not it. Even if they're not that well conceived, they're usually rendered and designed very well. I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickster Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Perhaps they're going to keep using the same-style 'XL' letters for future logos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
