Why is the Super Bowl measured in Roman numerals?
Officially, the game is Super Bowl LIV, with the Roman numerals equating to 54.
The annual designation came from longtime Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, who suggested using Roman numerals to track Super Bowls. It was not always this way — it took five years to try out the system.
According to the NFL media guide, “The Roman numerals were adopted to clarify any confusion that may occur because the NFL Championship Game—the Super Bowl—is played in the year following a chronologically recorded season. Numerals I through IV were added later for the first four Super Bowls.”
