For those of you who were kept up at night ruing the fact that Super Bowl 50 was not in Roman numeral form, there's good news.

Bruce Newman of the San Jose Mercury News reported this week that after this edition of the NFL's championship game, the league will go back to displaying the Super Bowl numbers in its more traditional Roman numeral form.

NFL Creative Director Shandon Melvin told Newman thatthe league is "very committed" to going back to the old style, beginning with Super Bowl LI (51) next year.
