  1. To use the Seahawks as an example again, I find their all-blue set to be much better looking than their blue jersey, gray pants combo.
  2. 1. Kelly green is a bit overrated, especially in regards to the Oakland Athletics and New York Jets. In Oakland's case, for instance, I like how the darker shade of green (i've heard it referred to as both forest green and hunter green) offers a more start contrast with the gold and white, making them "pop" a lot more than kelly does. I will, however, concede that the Philadelphia Eagles look better in kelly. 2. Monochromatic NFL uniforms aren't that bad, at least not inherently so. There are some bad ones out there, but the majority look good. The Seahawks' home uniforms are a good example of monochromatic set working well. On that note... 3. The Seahawks should wear their white pants on the road more often (maybe 50/50 with their blue pants). I also wouldn't be opposed to them getting rid of their gray jerseys and pants.
  3. Even though I can understand why some folks prefer the larger pant stripes from the dynasty years, I agree with you. I even liked the change from three sleeve stripes to two prior to 2017 (which may qualify as an unpopular opinion in and of itself). The only tweak they need to make is replacing the 2005 wordmark on the chest with the old-school one they brought back for the end zones. I also wouldn't mind seeing the helmet return to midfield, as opposed to just the SF oval.
  4. I find it mildly interesting that the Giants have started using NOB home cream jerseys for purposes such as ceremonies, reunions and celebrity appearances at the park. I wouldn't be completely opposed to the idea of them going back to NOB for the home uniforms at some point; I always thought the 1994-1999 home jerseys were nice in that regard. Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I like the two stripes on the 49ers jerseys. It's a better fit for how modern players wear their sleeves and there's some synergy with the helmet and pant stripes.
  5. It sucks that a licensed graphics package (NBC) was lost, but I'm a fan of the new look. Certain elements of it remind me a lot of the current Sunday Night Football package. I like it a lot better than Madden NFL 20's new score bar, that's for sure: The big paint mark that indicates possession bugs me more than it should, and I dislike how the team that doesn't have the ball has their side changed to black (Steelers aren't the best example of this considering black is one of their main colors). This score bar would have been a better fit for Madden Mobile or something. Overall, a downgrade for the score bar used in Madden NFL 17-19. FWIW, the score bar used in Face of the Franchise mode is a bit of an improvement. I just wish we could use it in other modes.
  6. The Philadelphia Eagles look much better in Kelly than what they have now, but I think it's overrated in regards to the Oakland Athletics and New York Jets. Darker shades of green work much better for those two.
  7. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm mostly fine with the current state of NFL graphics. ESPN's is definitely the worst in my opinion. Ever since MNF moved from ABC to ESPN, the only two packages that I really enjoyed have been 2006-2007 and 2010. I know that the "flat" look of CBS and FOX is starting to grow stale with a lot of people, but they work for me. Especially in the case of Fox, since the 2014-2016 set that the current look replaced was one of my least favorite from them.
  8. I'd like to see it get used for MLB on NBC Sports affiliate stations. The A's and Giants have had the same graphics packages for four seasons now, and while I enjoy it, I think moving to this new style would be subtle, but also refreshing and worthwhile.
  9. Even though I've liked it in a few instances (such as the 2003-2006 Spring Training/BP jerseys), i'd like to see the Giants ditch the gold drop shadows on their home uniforms. The gold made some sense as a fancy thing to do for their first season at Oracle Park back in 2000, but now it just seems kind of pointless. Getting rid of the gold would also bring the current home creams closer to the 1960's uniforms (seen below) they were modeled after. Moving on from the gold would also clean up the road grays. However, I wouldn't mind it if the gold stuck around on the "Orange Friday" jerseys.
  10. I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but I like the current MLS score bug quite a bit. It reminds me of the 2003 NFL on FOX look, which I've always been a big fan of. Something about the slanted lines appeal to me, I guess.
  11. It looks like NESN (2018, 2019) and WGN (2018, 2019) were the only other stations to make changes to their graphics packages this season. Even then, most of the changes they made were slight.
  12. Week 3 of the 2003 NFL season was the only time Cleveland traveled to San Francisco while the 49ers wore their 1998-2008 set. Not a bad-looking matchup, in my opinion.
  13. Generally speaking, I liked the new NBC package. The angled nature of the scorebar reminded me of the 2003 NFL on FOX package, which I loved, and it had a certain flair that's uniquely NBC/SNF. CBS still has my favorite current NFL package, however. As a Bay Area baseball fan, I'm curious if our NBC Sports Bay Area/California telecasts will feature a baseball version of the new graphics package, or if they'll stick with the current version (based on the graphics package introduced for Super Bowl 49) for one more season.
  14. Good point. NFL preseason games have sort of become the last bastion of locally-produced professional sports telecasts.
  15. This is pretty much all I can find on YouTube: A clip from the 2006 A's Preview Show Literally three seconds of the 2007 scorebug A full game from 2005. It's pretty similar to the 2006-2007 package, but I don't prefer it as much.
  16. I know I'm a little late with this, but my favorite graphics packages: NFL 2001-2002 NFL on FOX 2003 NFL on FOX 2006-2007 MNF 2006-2008 NFL on CBS 2010-2011 NFL on FOX Current NFL on CBS I wouldn't call it a "favorite" yet, but the current NFL on Fox package is growing on me. MLB Early 2000's MLB on ESPN 2006-2007 KICU (Oakland A's) 2014-2017 MLB on Fox/Regional FOX Telecasts Current NBC Sports Regional MLB Package
