Super Bowl 50
For the celebration of Super Bowl 50, NFL is using standard Arabic numbers, not Roman numerals. According to San Jose Mercury News, the letter “L” (the Roman numeral for 50) has many negative connotations (L = Loser, 3 quarters of the asymmetrical letter L is negative space) and provides design challenges.
Super Bowl 50 was played Sunday, February 7, 2016 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara (California).
