Viper550 291 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Though said music is a variation of CBS's normal NFL music (and arguably better) Also speaking of CBS, Atlanta is using the current CBS graphics now, but with the CBS logo replaced with an NFL logo like the Yahoo game.

nathannah 2429 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Whoever at ESPN is obsessed with fat italic 'athletic' fonts needs to be demoted. It looks like some knock-off package you'd see in a mobile app game that charges $1.99 to even kick the ball off.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Easily the ugliest sports graphics of this decade? I'd say so. ESPN is so clueless as to what looks good. Flash back to 2014 when everything was so nice and elegant.

It looks like some knock-off package you'd see in a mobile app game that charges $1.99 to even kick the ball off. Or worse, a preseason game. Having the downs arrow switch sides depending on direction is kinda clever (though they're not rendering the downs arrow on-field either). It also doesn't auto-hide during plays anymore.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I think we can safely say NBC wins this generation's football graphics. CBS gets an honorable mention though.

Northerner 32 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I wonder if ESPN's designers plan to italicize everything in the near future? Or if it's just a football thing.

24994J 5577 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It's like they didn't have a full update ready, so just played with the font. For better or worse, they should have something brand new for season 50 next year, but at least it should be a cohesive design.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 ...you misspelled Fox... Fox's graphics lose solely because of how bland the score graphic is and how much space it wastes. Also, they're limited in the selection of team colors they can use in graphics because their fonts have no drop shadows or outlines, so they often have to use compromise background colors to make their text readable.

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 ...you misspelled Fox... FOX's look doesn't do it for me for football. It's fine for the other sports but the lack of flair just doesn't work for football.

Georgie56 3304 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Watching NFL Network’s TNF pregame. Saw some inserts that used Fox’s standard graphics. I assume the game will be that way, too. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16586-2018-nfl-season/page/2/#findComment-213003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3304 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yep. Standard Foxbox too. Surprised they didn’t make a TNF-specific package based off the standard Fox graphics like NBC and CBS did.

nathannah 2429 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hopefully this is just because it's a non-national game over-the-air and the new package is actually coming on their premiere. So far this is just a bog-standard Sunday game (except they're really making the case that Thursday football is lousy game wise). Also, this WJZ'esque production music is terrible.

As far as the production music prior to commercials, it's really no different than a standard Sunday Fox game. You only ever hear the Fox theme a few times after the game intro.

Northerner 32 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I don't think they'd unveil something new in Week 4(?) when the simulcast starts up. I like the NFL on Fox graphics but was expecting some kind of cool combo/look like we've gotten in the past with CBS and NBC.

danderson500 29 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 So... why was CBS allowed to switch to Chiefs-Steelers, but Fox wasn't allowed to air the Vikings-Packers game once it went to overtime?
