Slickster Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 The NFL should switch to Arabic numerals instead of Roman numerals for the names of Super Bowls. It was cool until XL, but now it's going to get kinda weird in a few years.43: XLIII44: XLIV45: XLV...49: XLIX50: LSuper Bowl L? SUPER BOWL L? What design possibilities does that name have?I say the NFL should change the naming policy effective after Super Bowl XLIII. Super Bowl 44 has a lot of naming potential and would make for a great design.What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 my guess is that once Super Bowl L (50) comes around, that hopefully the NFL will go with Arabic numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was thinking the same thing about the Roman Numerals, but I can't imagine the Super Bowl not using them. I dare say that Arabic numbers would certainly not work.I think they have to stick with the Roman Numerals. I'm sure they can make 'em work... if not, lately, it seems we can't count on the quality of the rest of the logo to make the weird Roman Numeral not be the worst part of the logo.

IceCap Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 my guess is that once Super Bowl L (50) comes around, that hopefully the NFL will go with Arabic numbers.Same here. The NFL should stick with Roman Numerals until Super Bowl 50. Then they should start using Arabic numbers.

Certainly not worth ruining one of the great traditions of the Super Bowls for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimshaw25 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Well once they get to Super Bowl like 1,998 or something i think they might have to switch to Arabic numerals then but thats something to tell our grandkids kids kids kids about when they're posting on this board in the year 3964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 If Arabic numbers are good enough for Wrestlemania, they're good enough for the Super Bowl.That's a better argument for Roman numerals than any other than I could make.

jkrdevil Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 How will Super Bowl L be any different from Super Bowl V and Super Bowl X? It has worked before and it will work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 "Because "V" and "X" were COOLER. "L's" just lame."Seriously, that's what I think the reasoning is behind this. It just looks better. Normally I'd be all for anything that's an improvement, but for something as big and epic as this, it should stick with the roman numerals.

DEAD! Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Could you imagine the winning team of Super Bowl L giving the "loser" gesture after they win the game? "No way would America allow it's biggest event use "Arabic" numbers! We're fighting the war on terrorism!" j/k I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Nah Roman Numerals forever, if not for the Super Bowl they will be lost forever.A-hahahahaha! That's one of the funniest things I've ever read on here. To think that a sports championship game is solely responsible for the survival or extinction of a numbers system is too funny.Might I add that this post is copyright MMVII.

SportsmanTO Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I think the use of Roman Numerals gives the Super Bowl prestige and a classiness you just don't see much of these days.KEEP THE ROMAN NUMERALS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, 'X8' was good enough for Wrestlemania.Did they really combine Roman Numerals with Arabic Numerals? That most have been a weird logo.I think the NFL should continue using Roman Numerals for the Super Bowl for the sake of tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danimal Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 IMHO, they should just go with "2007 Super Bowl" as it's difficult to remember what SB took place during what year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 One thing's for sure: At some point in the distant future they will practically be forced to make the switch to Arabic, at least temporarily, simply because they'd otherwise be unable to make some huge-@$$ Roman numeral fit inside the logo.
