Didn't see NHL on NBCSN tonight I wanted to see how the new graphic is for the NHL 

They didn't use the new graphics for last nights game. 

I just found out Japan modified their flag not long ago.

Using Madden images insteadvof real players images during stat box layouts on the field feels like a step backwards. Better off to keep using still photos of the players.

Those better not be from Madden 18 because they look like they're straight from Madden 2003.

If the following scoreboard is any indication, NBC may have gone there, but for the gradients in the score:

Reminds me of the FOX bugs from the mid 2000s which is a good thing. 

With the direction many of the networks have gone, I expect a very bland and lifeless look. 

Everything to me looks like a placeholder. I can't see them continuing with XFL because it's so dated but Vince has always been out of touch. While it is the more recognizable name, it's for all the wrong reasons. We're still 2 years before the apparent start so we'll have to wait and see.

The Bills-Dolphins game looked really awesome with both teams wearing their old school uniforms.

 

That being said, I still don't understand the constant chanting of so many people to make everything retro new again. These uniforms are great serving their purpose as a special treat. A turn-back-the-clock change up. In my unpopular opinion, they should be left in that role. Keep the current uniforms as the current uniforms and the throwbacks as a once or twice a season alternate uniform. 

 

And that goes for pretty much all of these teams, not just the Bills and Dolphins. Every time a professional team wears throwback jerseys there are fans hollering to make them the regular uniforms. I just don't understand it.

because for teams like the Rams and Dolphins, their current set just doesn't stack up compared to the throwbacks. Especially the Rams who are wearing a top that doesn't match the pants or helmet.

On the other hand, Barclays supplanted MSG as WWE's go-to location in New York City, so there's that at least.

WWE NYC shows aren't the same without MSG.

That is because I am only 14 years old.

 

Pretty much anything before 2012 is a void in my brain.

and here I thought I was the youngest one. (1995)

I still hate how ESPN completely phased out ABC Sports. 

Now these days WPIX will borrow the same music and scorebug that SNY and YES uses, they just replace the network logo. I miss the days when they had their own unique package.

Everyone knows that Babe Ruth played for the Red Sox.  The whole "curse" thing was based on that.

Here's a glimpse of him in a really wrong uniform:

 

The Babe was the first-base coach with the Dodgers in 1938.  Though he did sometimes take batting practice.

  

 

 

The strange thing is that he wore no. 35, as no. 3 was worn by a player by the name of Pete Coscarart.

 

Don't forget his time with the Boston Braves.

You know what really bugs me about the Cubs home uniform? The giant TM right underneath their chest logo. Seriously, why is that there? Other teams don't have the trademark symbol on their jerseys.

You ruined the Cubs jersey for me.

Since there's a ton of talk about MLB expansion, here's my hack at it:

Adding some to this:

Interleague would continue but I would limit Interleague Play to a 2 Weekend Series, 1 in June and 1 in July.

I would add 1 more WC team to each division. 2 Wild Card games on Tuesday and then 2 more on Wednesday. The LDS will stay a Best-of-5.

I think the same thing about this jersey

 

I felt this one was better because it didn’t use the same font as the Rangers. 

CBS added the wins-loss record to the bug.

2. There should be no fans over 10 of the Vegas Golden Knights. If you changed to Vegas for whatever reason, I consider you disloyal and have no respect for you. There are always exceptions to this, but they are few and far between.

See but what about the people who are just getting into the sport or the ones who finally have a local team to root for?

How better would it be if the bug looked like this. (Without the stats graphic)

Oh and someone in the TBS booth ruined the last out in both the NLDS and NLCS by snickering as the Mets were celebrating.

This one is my favorite TBS bug.

I think the one they currently have is good but all they have to do is make it a little bit bigger. TBS when it comes to how they present baseball, I'm not a fan of. I remember during the 2015 NLCS they made a routine pop fly look like a home run which was the weirdest thing ever. 

There has been 5 Met one-hitters in which the only hit came from the opposing pitcher.

I really hate this new FOX bug. It's so boring and yet everyone praises it for being boring.

Oh no, you're not alone. I don't like the new Fox Bug either. I've said many times that these new scorebugs are blending together. ESPN, FOX and CBS look exactly the same.
