NFL UNVEILS 2016 SUPER BOWL LOGO

January 30, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

SANTA CLARA, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – On the eve of Super Bowl XLIX, the 49th edition of the NFL football championship, the new logo for the 50th edition was unveiled today – exclusively to The Adobo Chronicles.

The 2016 Super Bowl will be held in Santa Clara, California, at the new Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco (or is it Santa Clara) 49ers.

For many years, the NFL struggled with coming up a logo design because many football fans don’t know how to read Roman Numerals. There have been rumors that the NFL will eventually get rid of Roman Numerals and stick to the easier-to-read Arabic numbers.

The NFL saw a perfect opportunity to make the change in 2016, the 50th Super Bowl. The 2016 logo gets rid of the Roman Numeral — well sort of — and uses the appropriate color scheme of gold which is usually associated with the number 50, as in golden anniversaries.

The logo still uses the Roman Numeral for 50 — which is ‘L’ — but it is attached to ‘BOWL’ so that it reads ‘BOWLL.’

What a simple, brilliant logo design, we think!

LEVI’S WITHDRAWS FROM NAMING RIGHTS AGREEMENT FOR 49er STADIUM

Santa Clara, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Levi Strauss & Co. today announced that it is withdrawing from its $220 Million, 20-year agreement with the San Francisco 49ers for the naming rights to the new football stadium in Santa Clara.

Levi’s Stadium just opened this summer to become the new home of the 49ers following the closure of Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

Levi’s CEO Chip Bergh made the stunning announcement following today’s disappointing 49er loss to the St. Louis Rams. Today’s loss puts the 49ers at 4 wins and 4 losses in the current National Football Conference season. They now trail The Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West Division.

“We don’t want our name to be associated with a losing team,” Bergh said, adding that “we would rather pay a penalty and default on our contract with the 49ers.” Levi’s will pay an undisclosed hefty penalty for breaking the contract.

49ers CEO Jed York said that he is currently in talks with underwear company Jockey for a deal to rename Levi’s Stadium to Jockey Stadium.

Jockey is the same company that produced and gave away 2,000 limited edition underwear marked ‘Mad Bum’ to honor SF Giants’ Mad Bumgarner’s fantastic season that led to the team’s third World Series title in five years.

Well, Jockey has some kind of nice ring to it, as long as fans don’t mistake it to be a hockey stadium.

DEVELOPING NEWS: 49ERS DEFECT TO SEATTLE!

Seattle, Washington – Just hours after their 23-10 win over the Carolina Panthers, majority of the team players of the San Francisco 49ers defected to Seattle. This stunning development all but maimed 49er fans and doused ice-cold water over the prospect of seeing their team in this year’s Superbowl.

With not enough players on the 49er team, the NFL declared the Seattle Seahawks the de facto winner in the NFC championship finals, originally scheduled for next Sunday.

It wasn’t clear how many players defected but 49er coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed to The Adobo Chronicles that he does not have enough players to make it to the playoff next week.

One of the players who defected spoke to the media just outside the 49er locker room at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, said that the defection was in protest against the 49er move from San Francisco to the new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The $1.3 Billion stadium is set to open in August this year.

The player, who asked that his name not be used in media reports, said that all his teammates did not want to leave San Francisco. “We are the San Francisco 49ers, not the Santa Clara 49ers,” he exclaimed with a tear in his left eye.

The NFL has scheduled a press conference about this development on Monday at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
