Holy crap at some point I just got sick of hearing about Superbowl IV. I know that's crazy because it was our only championship but it just rang hollow with year after year of no playoff wins. Now I'm back to fully appreciating it again.
But nothing compares to this collection of greats who have been dominating the league for most of the past decade. Make lots of room.

I feel/felt the same way. All those painful years of watching some good really good teams shit their pants in the playoffs, and the only thing we had to feel good about was a Super Bowl played so long ago that I had no memory of it. Yay, we're not the Bills/Lions/Browns/Vikings! Woohoo. Not much to hang your hat on.
I remember once (prior to 2016) seeing a guy in Chicago wearing a Cubs 1908 championship jacket. Obviously it wasn't a vintage item. That was pathetic. How the hell do you wear something commemorating a sporting event that happened before your grandparents were born? I only saw that once. I'm guessing that particular item wasn't a big seller.
