SuperBowl Controversy!

Written by Shawn Parola on February 26, 2016. Posted in Buzz Blog.

I was reminded this morning by a San Jose Mercury News story about a frequent discussion we’ve had around our home! Why no roman numerals for Super Bowl this year? I guess there are several reasons. First, being that 50 in roman numerals is “L”, it is not visually appealing. Also,looking like a single letter, may not even have been stand out enough to be noticed much.
The newspaper added that a single “L” also is a letter with too much dead space, another reason why it isn’t a bold or impressive number/letter! But, maybe the most important part has to do with the connotation “L” has in sports. L is for loss or loser, right? Eek, that is not good for the Super Bowl!Will the L make a comeback for Super Bowl LI/51? Guess we’ll just have to wait & see!
