In 1970, the agreement signed between the leagues regarding a merger was finalized and the two existing leagues were reassigned as conferences under the NFL. Lamar Hunt, the founder of American Football Conference (AFC), proposed the name 'Super Bowl' after seeing his daughter play with a toy called 'Super Ball', and also due to the fact that college football games were played in bowl-shaped stadiums.
