Initial Musings After the Super Bowl

Because the NFL was first , the AFC teams represent the AFL a league that merged with the NFL 55 years ago

True story is in late 1969 into early 1970 the planned names were “National Conference” and “American Conference,” hence the “N” and “A” logos. And *then* that offseason they officially expanded to National FOOTBALL Conference and American FOOTBALL Conference (“NFC” and “AFC”), *after* the logos were adopted.
