Can someone explain XLIX (49 or 51) and not IL. What are they going to do next year, XXXXX?

They actually going to use “50” and not Roman Numerals. By the way, 50 in Roman Numerals is L.

XLIX would be 50 (L) less 10 (X) plus 9 (IX).

The 50th Super Bowl would be designated as "Super Bowl L" (L for 50.)

"L" = 50.

But I read today they are going to familiar numbers soon.

“someone explain XLIX “

LOL! I thought that “XLIX” was some advertised product through the first quarter!
Wondered why they never had a commercial LOL!
