The term "Super Bowl" did not come into being until the third such game: the first two games were simply called "NFL-AFL Championship Game" (the games would later be retconned as Super Bowls I and II). With the exception of Super Bowl 50, the game is always named with Roman numerals (for Super Bowl 50 it would have been "Super Bowl L"; however, L stands for "loss" which did not appear to be good marketing). | The term "Super Bowl" did not come into being until the third such game: the first two games were simply called "NFL-AFL Championship Game" (the games would later be retconned as Super Bowls I and II).
