Super Bowl 50, not Super Bowl L

NEW YORK (AP) - The Super Bowl will scrap the Roman numerals for a year.
The 50th edition of the game will be played in February 2016 in Santa Clara, California. The NFL said Wednesday it will be called "Super Bowl 50" instead of "Super Bowl L."
In 2017, the league will revert to Roman numerals, referring to the 51st edition as "Super Bowl LI."
The NFL first started using Roman numerals for the fifth Super Bowl in 1971.

First time ever it won't go by the roman numerals. Kind of a big deal.

L is for losers, can't have that.

Well, I'm calling it Super Bowl L. That's what I've always called it. Super Bowl trying to be something it isn't, IMO.

God damn it I've been looking forward to what they were going to do with the one letter logo since I was 8 years old. SON OF A BITCH

Now everyone will definitely remember the Saints historic victory in Super Bowl 50.

Pretty dumb logo for the Saints' second straight Super Bowl victory, but it'll look good hanging next to the other two in the Dome.

Things are so good in the NFL that they are trying fix/change things that aren't broken:
AFC/NFC Championship trophies were once nice pieces of art. Now they look like cheap clothing irons
Super Bowls used to have creative logos that had started to represent some aspect of the host city. Now: The same basic generic logo for each game
49 Super Bowls have a Roman numeral in the logo. Now we have to go to the regular number "50"
Sounds like a marketing department with nothing better to do
