[edit] Overtime scores

If and when a Super Bowl game ever goes into overtime, we should modify this template so it uses the advanced auxiliary templates such as Template:If defined call3, Template:Template call3, and Template:Void3. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 1 July 2005 13:18 (UTC)

Of course, they have now been superseded by the m:ParserFunctions. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transparent background

OK, so I took 34 of the .png logos for the various Super Bowls (I didn't do some of the hard ones, but I did 34 of them, so that counts for something), and changed the white background to a transparent background. Then, I came here and removed the white background placed around the image, because it looks better like this with transparent backgrounds. True, it doesn't quite look as good on the few that I didn't mess with, but it looks better on the vast majority. I just thought it would be a good idea to tell the people who may care... -Platypus Man | Talk 04:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
