6. Super Bowl XIV

The original Los Angeles Rams had a virtual home field advantage when Super Bowl XIV was played in Pasadena. Despite taking a 19-17 lead into the fourth quarter, Los Angeles could not contain Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns.

The logo from Super Bowl XIV bears a resemblance of a 1950’s diner or the emblem on an original Chevrolet Bel Air. The font takes you back to the start of the NFL and the early era of professional football. Finally, the colors are a great representation of the NFC and AFC with the striking red and blue.

5. Super Bowl XXXVII

Super Bowl XXXVII captured the spirit of its host city San Diego in the logo very well in the “Gruden Bowl.” With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing Jon Gruden’s former Oakland Raiders, the nautical theme presented in the logo with the combination of sea blue, yellow, and white fit well together. The Old Point Loma lighthouse was a very nice feature in the logo as well. My only complaint would be how the lettering is arranged, but the theme and colors make up for it.
