Kentucky Derby and USFL have been using the new logo as a bug. Sticks out like a sore thumb on the default graphics too

YES Network has new graphics, but the scoreboard itself remains unchanged.

Bally is showing the pitch clock as an overlay on the diamond graphic. Not a bad spot.

CTV News Channel got new graphics. They're ... OK. Their last update was a harbinger for a new local news package, and that ticker is very ESPN TSN BottomLine (right down to the size of the banner ad slot)

CCHA college hockey bringing us a very close recreation of Sportsnet's 2014-2021 (though besides the fonts/colors, the main difference is that SN put the scores adjacent to each other instead of like this)

ESPN appears to have iterated from the XFL 2020 graphics. Still a similar design based off the MNF graphics, but the scoreboard is much flatter and brighter (in fact it was blinding until they put the ticker up)

Appears to match up

Taking this with a grain of salt because this image looks off... Why would the down indicator be that small, unless this was captured mid-animation? Where's the timeouts? It looks like something you'd see on a kitschy preseason broadcast. In fact, the Steelers pretty much did this exact design earlier not too badly.

Prepare for something obnoxious or disappointing:

A bit more on it from SVG, complete with some examples/mocks from the agency actually showing English graphics. Again, I could see some variant of this becoming NBC's default; the templates themselves aren't too far off from the current look. https://www.sportsvideo.org/2023/01/27/world-cup-2022-how-gameday-creative-built-telemundos-eye-popping-graphics-package/

A post on that other site mentioned that the inserts from these graphics will be the standard Telemundo Deportes graphics going forward. Given it is a branch of NBC Sports, I can definitely see how this could replace the 2015 graphics on the English side (the 2018 inserts were pretty much the NBC Sports default but with the shapes from that year's World Cup branding).

ITV scoreboard isn't too bad. It's custom but the BBC's gives off "what if Fox just used the standard black graphics they're phasing out for the World Cup?"

The world feed one is basically that but with the clock to the left and without the jersey colors. It's ugly. Also why are we still doing that tab,? You could have squeezed in Group A under the bug (or just shortened the tab to just say just "Group A"); it's redundant to the bug.

With Canada being in the tournament for the first time since 1986, TSN has an on-location presence for the first time; usually they've done the studio segments from their main studio in Toronto (which debuted its current design during the 2015 Women's World Cup). Judging by their preview show, TSN's graphics seem to be an evolution of what they used for 2018, but more gold, black, and navy blue (for 2018 it was more white, red, and gold).

After using what appeared to be a hastily thrown together reskin of the old Sportsnet graphics last year, TVA Sports has new graphics for its French NHL broadcasts. Looks a lot like that one NBC used in the 2021 playoffs, but boxier. I'll give them credit for doing something a little different cause that doesn't look too bad.

Global News has underwent a major rebrand, with new graphics for all of its newscasts (replacing one based on a now-discontinued imaging package used by the main network), and an updated website. There's a lot of white and red (with the local newscasts also adding in some blue accents). At times, especially with the serif fonts, it feels more like the Globe & Mail than Global, but it's definitely a well-needed update.

While we're here, Sportsnet always times major rebrands/redesigns for the NHL season and MLB playoffs, and this year is no exception. Sportsnet Central got updated with a new set and flatter branding. It's definitely more in line with their current imaging (the previous set, introduced as part of the larger Sportsnet rebranding in 2011, was not too bad but seemed a bit small in comparison to TSN's more newsroom-based SportsCentre studio, and I swear they had been practicing social distancing at that desk for the video wall before that was even a widely-known term) and the look of the new NHL studio (which has a similar aesthetic but more curved)

It didn't take long for the new ads to go absolutely haywire.

Some notes already; Bill Spaulding is the new voice of the Devils Eddie Olczyk is joining the Kraken booth as a second analyst, in addition to his TNT duties. Sportsnet cancelled Hometown Hockey, and a lesser version of NHL Live is being integrated directly into Sportsnet Now Premium Digital ad replacement on the boards (i.e. World Cup of Hockey and 2020 All-Star Game) is coming to all NHL games this season. MSG has new graphics: honestly feels like a downgrade (the previous ones felt unique, these ones feel like SNY for some reason) In addition, NBC's tweaked their scoreboard for regional games; it is still the same basic layout as before (the 2015 package, and not using the short-lived scoreboard from the 2021 playoffs) but it takes cues from the MLB update by switching to logos only and bigger score numbers, and has an inline shots on goal counter where score used to be. Those graphics are going to be ten years old soon, and they are not leaving without a fight.

Fellow Disney subsidiary Star Sports is the host broadcaster for Indian national team cricket; is it me or does it look like ESPN's NBA graphics rubbed off on it a bit?

Only inevitable we'd get a Bally knockoff at some point.

The Open finally got their graphics updated to match Golf Channel's current package; looks nice, and definitely less gaudy than the blue and yellow they had before (although to be fair it was meant to evoke the actual in-person leaderboard) Although this generic font they use alongside the Open's own serif font kinda cheapens it a bit

Premier Lacrosse League makes its ESPN debut today. They are special enough to get a partial reskin of the college basketball scoreboard rather than the more generic scoreboard the NLL college lacrosse (and previously, college basketball) used, though it looks like it's meant to go with the rest of the "white rectangles" package) (though NLL games on ESPN+ use a slight variant of TSN's hockey graphics, probably because they're falling back on TSN as a bespoke broadcaster for games taking place in Canada, since they actually have more NLL broadcasting experience than ESPN itself)

Though, by contrast, NBC's music doesn't sound as "dated" (it's the punchy 80's synthesizers that do it) While we're on the topic, Record's is also a lot more contemporary

Yeah, and Globo definitely has their own ways; that music is very 80's
