What is The old name of the Super Bowl?
Today's Superbowl was fomerly known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game .
What year was the nfl-afl world championship game change to the super bowl?
The first year the AFL-NFL World Championship Game was called the Super Bowl was in 1969, when the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts 16-7 in Super Bowl III.
What was the Super Bowl game called before the Super Bowl?
Prior to 1967, there was only an NFL Championship between the division winners. When the American Football League agreed to merge with the NFL by 1970, the four interim inter-league games were called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. By the third game in 1969, the term Super Bowl had been adopted, and Super Bowl IV was the last of the interim AFL-NFL games. The names of the first two games were retroactively made Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II.With the completion of the merger in 1970, Super Bowl V (1971) was played between the winners of the two newly-created conferences, the American and National conferences, roughly analogous to the two original leagues, but with some NFL teams having moved to the AFC, including the winners of the game, the Baltimore Colts (who had lost Super Bowl III representing the NFL).
Who was the first nfl football team to win a Super Bowl?
The Green Bay Packers won what were retrospectively named Super Bowl I and II, but then they were named the NFL-AFL championship game. The NY Jets were the first team to win a Super Bowl when it was called the Super Bowl.
Did the NFL once have a consolation game before the Super Bowl?
Yes. For ten years, 1960-1969, the NFL played a game called the Playoff Bowl that pitted the two losing teams from the playoffs (only four teams made the playoffs at the time). The game was played the week following the NFL Championship game. Six of these games were played before the Super Bowl was created ... four after. The Playoff Bowl games ended with the AFL-NFL merger.
