They were referred to as "football" graphics, so my initial inclination is yes, but then again, ESPN uses a completely different package for college football, so...
Georgie56 3333 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Posted February 9, 2020 At least the comic caricatures aren't sticking around. 1
TheFizzle21 39 Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I'm surprised there was any belief Fox would even dare to implement team-specific fonts to the XFL when the NFL is clearly miles ahead in popularity and ratings. Not expecting anything different if other sports they cover like MLB and college football are treated the same should they get this package. As for the TD graphic above? That's a good place to start if they want to do that for "featured" players in the NFL. Get their best shots from photoshoots or use headshots if that's more convenient for every player, regardless of who is/is not star-worthy. Not sure if I posted the evidence here, but I prefer they just use no image at all like after this TD from the Big Game itself. 2
Viper550 292 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 The Fox/ESPN coverage of the Wilder Fury II prelims looks more ESPN than Fox, graphics-wise.
racefan_09 14 Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 Reviving an older thread as many may have missed the brief return of Fox’s (in this case, Speed’s) early 2010’s graphics during NASCAR Race Hub’s throwback show this week. Was a pleasant surprise to see. 3

JCB4TV 352 Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 I'm bumping this thread to show the Fox Sports score bug for the Field of Dreams game. 1
Georgie56 3333 Posted October 7, 2021 Author Posted October 7, 2021 Appears Fox is breaking in new graphics for MLB.
mightynine 290 Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) About time. Interesting that it has a different "look" than the NFL package - Fox might be hopping on the different looks for different sports train.

Viper550 292 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) NASCAR's getting a new look. It's stylistically closer to the NFL package (illustrations and all) but with more of a "comic book" look. Running order display is pretty much identical except for BOLD ITALIC FONTS EVERYWHERE https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nascar/a38884019/fox-sports-turning-nascar-driver-superheroes/ Edited January 26, 2022 by Viper550

24994J 5654 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 How do the drivers have visible muscle definition over their suits? Yeah, these Fox packages are comical, all right. Comically bad. 2

The only graphics pacakge that actually looks somewhat decent is the college basketball package, even though the scoreboard is way too big.
nathannah 2520 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 The comic book look is so...overdone. It just feels like they wanted to have their own 'image trademark' like their buddies at Dow Jones have with their 'hedcuts' in the Wall Street Journal...but it turned out looking like a bad educational comic. I don't understand why they never beta-test these fonts either, they're too bold, and the small-caps cause eye-strain as you try to figure out what letter each is. Notably, they aren't showing any graphics involving FoxBet or their Super 6 contest in that article. One day, sports betting will be inescapable on Fox Sports, and like college rankings (I will never care that someone ranked a team #17!), they'll just add more unneeded visual clutter.
Newsjunkie24 506 Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 They first started using the superhero graphics on a part-time basis last season. I don't mind the driver design, but the overall cartoon look just feels weird on a sports broadcast. 1
Viper550 292 Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) The Belmont Stakes has its own bespoke graphics package, which is surprising because I thought they'd be dragging out the old black rectangles for it. And shockingly it's not huge and in your face. It's very green and gold with shades of the World Cup, and the old US Open theme music strikes again. Edited June 10, 2023 by Viper550 2
