#1: The First Super Bowl Wasn’t Called the Super Bowl
The inaugural championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs in 1967 wasn’t even called the Super Bowl. Officially, it was known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, reflecting the merger between the two leagues.
However, Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt jokingly referred to it as the “Super Bowl” after seeing his children play with a Super Ball toy. The nickname stuck, and by Super Bowl III, the name became official.
