Maybe it's just me... but when are they gonna get rid of those stupid Roman numerals with the Superbowl? I mean, who the fuck can read that shit anymore? After you reach 20 it just becomes gibberish.

adendreams · 01-08-2012, 09:49 AM

ok... but nah man I like the numerals

The tradition of shitty half time shows needs to change! I've felt a sympathetic embarrassment for a few in the last decade.

Try doing long division with Roman numerals.

In a few years it'll be Super Bowl L.

I actually agree. Don't know why they don't just give the number...

Its simple

I = 1
V = 5
X = 10
L = 50
C = 100
D = 500
M = 1,000

Lol... yeah, it's simple when it's just a single letter. Not when you have XCVIII

Supz · 01-08-2012, 04:12 PM

no one even cares about the numerals anyway who cares if they change it.

PornMD · 01-08-2012, 04:26 PM

Are Roman numerals really that difficult for people?

NaughtyVisions · 01-08-2012, 04:47 PM

The Roman Numerals look more interesting that writing regular numbers.

XLVIII looks more intriguing than 48.

I get the tradition part of it, and am not asking for a change, but I think if they do change it, it should just switch to the year, i.e. SuperBowl 2012. Wait, that sounds like a video game...

I'd like to see how people would react if their stats were in roman numerals.

it seems it is for some people! who would have thought it?

Half man, Half Amazing · 01-08-2012, 07:19 PM

I don't see the point of complaining because when they speak the number of the game they don't actually say the roman numerals...they say "super bowl thirty-eight"....so is your gripe merely with logo/merchandise because that's the only place the roman numerals are reallly used

chaze · 01-08-2012, 08:54 PM

I doubt they will, NFL is all about tradition or they would of changed some of the rules to make it better.

CurrentlySober · 01-09-2012, 03:30 AM

I say... Replace them with ACTUAL POO...

calvinawe · 01-09-2012, 05:05 AM
