  1. Two gold stars to commemorate two WS Championships. Missed opportunity!
  2. If the Braves want to use their spring training webcast package in a post-Bally world, it wouldn't be the worst.
  3. ACC basketball on the CW has a unique graphic package. A departure from their football coverage that just cribbed from ESPN CFB.
  4. NBC went with an offset top view of the Browns helmet in the 90s, I guess to avoid having a plain orange rectangle to represent Cleveland?
  5. Feel like exotic stains (Brooklyn, or the Memphis Tigers would be examples) would have still grabbed attention and not thrown so much paint on the floor so as to be a safety issue, Then again, there have been overly painted floors in the past too (Houston, Charlotte) and were there player complaints then? Always thought it was decals that led to slippage, not more paint.

  7. So Peacock basketball modified their college football graphics instead of borrowing from the regional networks that still NBC brand. Would not mind if the style was applied to Sixers/Celtics/Bulls/Kings/Warriors RSN broadcasts.
  8. I get that from a simplicity and legibility perspective, Nike doesn't outline names anymore on association/icon/statement/city NBA jerseys. But they could, because they do it for throwbacks.
  9. Also related to the TNT reintroduction of the TNT Sports branding https://www.bt.com/sport/features/what-is-tnt-sports-and-what-channels-does-it-offer Warner Bros Discovery acquired BT Sport in the UK and Ireland, shuttered BT and launched TNT Sports.
  10. Why just the bear head and not both? You can claim the move, but the Giants in East Rutherford and 49ers in Santa Clara still use prominent initials for NY and SF respectively ...
  11. Game 3 - and ESPN/ABC has listened! Points about the floor lacking any physical Finals demarcation are valid. If it were me, I'd put the Finals script and trophy icon on the baseline where the Mich Ultra ad is, then make those digital ads superimposed to the court itself. Optimizes safety and aesthetics and posterity.
  12. Effort slightly increased with using the finals script in the score bar by game 3
  13. When Nike does a better job of capitalizing on the popularity of Steph Curry than the company he has a deal with
  14. Darnell Mooney taking over for Julio when it comes to sporting the pause button.
  15. Vanderbilt went with Lou Gehrig tribute jerseys in their matchup versus Belmont at the Sounds' home. Normally without name on back, names made an appearance, since everyone had a 4 on their back. Their everyday uniform number was rendered in small font on the sleeve.
  16. Nike's latest chapter in half-assing the Eagles - their Super Bowl media day attire. The jackets for LII used the uniform number font. Meanwhile LVII has some block monstrosity. Weak effort.
  17. With the ad patch location varying based on handedness, does this mean the Phillies lose their shoulder numbers on the pinstripes and grays?
  18. Marcus Camby was a Rocket? And he wore a very un-basketball number, 29?
  19. Curse you Commanders with your magic eye primary! Sometimes origami/taco holder viewed at some non-straight-ahead angle; other times a fat W in stencil font.
  20. NBC regional networks revising some of the score bug. Score is side by side instead of stacked, and logos no longer accompanied with city abbreviations. Also note that when Wizards are in their retro gear, the network also uses the retro color scheme. The Philadelphia version did not do that when the Phillies would break out their throwbacks on Thursdays at home. Second also note: may be true of NBCS Washington, but not true of NBCS California. As judging by Kings home opener. Philadelphia hasn't had an NBCS broadcast yet, but they will by 10/22. They went with the old style in the preseason, though.
  21. Here we have scrappy Duke Blue Devil Bobby Hurley as point guard for Indiana University (in the movie Blue Chips)
  22. Keeping the woodgrain laid out straight in relation to the baseline, as opposed to the sideline like any other NBA floor that doesn't do a special pattern for their wood.
