Mr. Krabs Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think if their website redsign is any indication, the NFL really is still very much intent on regionalizing the game every year. Just the primary logo is stale and boring but they've been marketing that secondary logo a lot. I like that they're doing this. And to think we were scared a few years ago that they took all the local fun out of the game?http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 They still let the organizing committee use their own logos. I'm sure the Lombardi Trophy in front of the Superdome will be seen soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc... Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think the NFL really screwed up on this logo thing. In my opinion, giving each Super Bowl it's own number gave it some individuality. After the game, the stories and legends grew over time. You could look at the logo and know which teams played and how the game turned out. But, what do I know? Ratings have never been higher.

Anubis2051 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 You think next year they'll do something different? This could be the only the the SB is in New York. I'd have to use the generic logo. I think the statue of liberty holding the Lombardi trophy would make a great logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one of the two finalists (with Miami) to host SB 50. It is not a SB prototype logo.http://www.sfsuperbowl.com/movement/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure enough, the logo for Super Bowl L was gold, the logo for Super Bowl LI however, was the standard silver.Here's a quick mock-up of what the logo for Super Bowl L looked like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Personally, I think they'll switch to Arabic numerals for that game, if only because "50" in Roman numerals is less than inspiring.

Unless you're saying that the letter 'L' is just a less than inspiring letter.I would think that that they'd do something like:SUPER BOWLI'm not saying it's a good idea, I just could see the NFL doing it.

Gothamite Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yes, L is a less dynamic letter than either V or X. In part because its asymmetrical. But neither V nor X would work within the new logo template, while "50" would look just fine. And then the following year, we return to two-digit numerals and the standard template looks good again.Actually, I think your idea is a good one. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

AHcreative Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Why, thank you. I just feel as though the logo would look very lopsided in the end. I suppose the host city could be written above "SUPER BOW" in smaller letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Just make it '50'. Is it really that hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 What if they did something like that? And then with a # 50 somehwere below or to the side of it? So it implied the 'L' but it doesn't look out of place, and it still keeps in part with the uniform logo structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I actually sort of like that idea. I'd definitely put the '50' beside it to balance it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc... Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I still think the Roman Numeral should stay. However, (if there is a change) in the Super Bowl L logo, they should incorporate the field into the logo, similar to Super Bowl XLIII and use the "50" yard line.
