Background
[

Host selection
[
edit
]
On May 23, 2018, the league originally selected New Orleans as the site for
Super Bowl LVIII
, then tentatively scheduled for February 4, 2024.
[2]
In March 2020, the league and the
NFLPA
agreed to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games starting in 2021, pushing Super Bowl LVIII to February 11, 2024, and causing a conflict with
New Orleans's Mardi Gras celebrations
.
[4]
On October 14, 2020, the league decided to move Super Bowl LVIII to another city (
Las Vegas
was later chosen) and awarded Super Bowl LIX to New Orleans instead, as
Mardi Gras
in 2025 is not until March 4, thus avoiding any conflicts.
[1]
Logo
[
edit
]
The official logo was unveiled on February 12, 2024, and follows the logo template established since
Super Bowl LVI
, with the
Roman numerals
featuring imagery representing the host city/region. For this event, the Roman numerals contain artwork by local artist "Queen" Tahj Williams
[5]
?a figure in the community of
Mardi Gras Indians
.
[6]
It marks the first time the NFL collaborated with a local artist on the design of a Super Bowl emblem.
[5]
The design?originally created with
beads
?features
Mardi Gras
inspired red, green, and gold-colored
fleur-de-lis
patterns (a symbol long connected with New Orleans and used as the logo for the
New Orleans Saints
), evoking the designs of
ironwork
balconies common in the
city's architecture
(particularly in the
French Quarter
).
