How did the Super Bowel trophy get its name?

Answer 1

According to NFL films President Steve Sabol, then NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle wanted to call the game "The Big One". During the discussions to iron out the details, AFC founder Lamar Hunt had jokingly referred to the proposed inter league championship as the "Super Bowl". Hunt thought of the name after seeing his children playing with a toy called Super ball. The name was consistent with postseason College Football games which had long been known as"bowl games" The "bowl" term originated from the Rose bowl games, which was in turn named for the bowl shaped stadium in which it is played. Hunt only meant his suggested name to be a stopgap until a better one could be found. Nevertheless, the name "Super Bowl" became permanent.
