Georgie56 3307 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) @Viper550 flagged it in the "2019 NFL Season" thread, so I'm spinning it off into its own thread. Fox is debuting a new graphics package for Super Bowl LIV. Hopefully they learned their lesson from Super Bowl LI.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Wow, that's a complete shocker. Maybe they realized how boring their current graphics were for a Super Bowl. Question is if the new graphics permeate into the other sports properties or if they pull an NBC/ESPN and give their NFL coverage a completely separate look from everything else.

ehatt493 33 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 It feels like a quick turnaround on this package vs. the last two. And if it is a while new network-wide package, I wonder what the plans are for other FOX Sports properties...Daytona 500 is only a 2.5 weeks away, then MLB starts in late March. Plus it's a whole thing as to whether or not the FSNs get re-branded by then and whether Sinclair will debut a new package for all of their sports properties or keep Stadium and the FSNs separate and continue to use the old FOX graphics (a la 2011 Root Sports).

Should these new graphics make their the other Fox Sports properties, would Fox then issue an ultimatum to Sinclair to re-brand the RSNs ASAP?

If these graphics do make it to Daytona for the 500, then I hope the scoring pylon style ticker goes away and they go back to a horizontal ticker back at the top of the screen.

Given that Sinclair hasn't revealed anything as far as rebranding plans are concerned right now it looks like it'll be Sinclair keeping Stadium and the FSNs seperate (unless things change between now and Opening Day for Major League Baseball.

Georgie56 3307 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I think the sale of the regionals to Sinclair finally allowed Fox to get in line with NBC and CBS in debuting a new graphics package at the Super Bowl. 6 minutes ago, oknewsguy said: Given that Sinclair hasn't revealed anything as far as rebranding plans are concerned right now it looks like it'll be Sinclair keeping Stadium and the FSNs seperate (unless things change between now and Opening Day for Major League Baseball.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Maybe the plan is for Fox to immediately roll out the new graphics to all of their properties and to just give the old graphics over to Sinclair to use on the RSNs for however long they need to use them before Sinclair rebrands the RSNs.

I suspect that at least through April the Sinclair RSNs would probably need the outgoing Fox package. I suspect that the Sinclair RSNs will roll out a new graphics package on a template based on the Marquee Sports Network graphics, I'm not sure if the FSNs will indeed use that template but that is certainly a possibility here.

24994J 5585 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Are there any examples of these supposedly awful new graphics?

Out of the 3 that you mentioned I'm actually partial towards the YES package being used on the other FSNs, we'll just have to wait and see what Sinclair decides to do. Beyond that there is precedent to former Fox owned RSNs hanging on to the Fox package long past the retirement date (e.g. FSN Northwest, Pittsburgh and Rocky Mountain all kept the 2008 FSN package even after those RSNs became Root Sports) so it's possible that Sinclair may rebrand the RSNs in the Spring and wait until the Fall and then roll out the new package.

I believe there are two possible rebrand dates, March 26, MLB Opening Day, and July 17, when MLB resumes following the All-Star Game.

ScottJ 134 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 In anticipation of Fox's new graphics package, here's a look at the NFL on Fox scorebugs through the years, courtesy of a DeviantArt user. I'm partial to the 2006-2009 bar. It had a nice, clean look. The only thing it was missing was the timeout indicators, which came with the next package. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17518-fox-sports-debuting-new-graphics/#findComment-239936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5585 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Well, that's way more of a departure than I would've expected.

JosiahCubed 281 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I personally would've like the Fox Sports Netherlands look to have gotten adapted, but these graphics look good. Despite the blurriness, it looks like its a nice mix of shiny and flat. I guess we'll find out tonight (since its technically Sunday by the time I've posted this).

Spring Rubber 705 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Ok, so everyone's officially obsessed with italics now, because just flat graphics weren't enough. Everything has to be italic now. It started with ESPN's CFB graphics, then made its way to NBC's Wednesday Night Hockey graphics, and now it's going to be adapted by Fox too.
