Interesting they call it the 2018 Super Bowl.

Yes, that’s accurate, but the NFL insists on using Roman numerals, and designate the games with those numbers, rather than saying the year the game is played.

The exception was the 50th Super Bowl, which they called Super Bowl 50 using the Hindu-Arabic numerals, rather than Roman numerals. It would have been “Super Bowl L” if they had used Roman numerals. Apparently that was too distressing for the NFL to use .

Most people don’t know Roman numerals beyond their kitchen clock face...............

Too distressing for the graphics art department. They said the big L was too unbalanced and they couldn’t figure out a way to jazz it up that looked good. Really disappointed me, I was looking forward to Super Bowl Large coming ten years after Super Bowl Extra Large which of course was ten years after Super Bowl Porn.
