X=10
L=50
I=1
if X is before L, then you subtract the amount that X is from L ... 50-10=40. Any roman numeral afterwards is added ... 40+1=41
SB XLI = Super Bowl 41

The Roman Numerals are the year of the sport....irregardless of the sport.
Example: X= 10 V=5 ===XV = 15
I = 1 XVI = 16
C= 50 so....XXCCVI = 126th
I think this is right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sorry if I am wrong.
Take care.

I guess you're asking why. It's because the superbowl is played in a different year than the season. When you look back at a past team like the '94 49ers they are the 1995 superbowl champions. It's just to make it clear.

Its in Roman numerals because NFL football is so reminiscent of the Roman gladiators..........
