The Sport Thread

[harshy]

That’s odd from S4C particularly since these are Supersport’s house style, and not any sort of competition related standard graphics. Indeed SuperSport itself will ditch its own house style when required (URC).

ESPN Latin America…yeah, these are an odd mix of stuff ESPN’s previously done and stuff inspired from a bunch of other places. The scorebar is very NFL (though not ESPN NFL, more like CBS) while other graphics seem inspired by elsewhere. The name captions follow the BT style of mixed case forename and all caps surname, though BT are far from the only broadcaster to ever do things that way. As with the poster previous, I’m wondering if these are actually new or if it’s just it’s been that long since there’s been Argentinian hosted rugby on TV (they’ve departed Super Rugby too).

That’s a surprise s4c suddenly asking Supersport to borrow their graphics kit specially I’ve always liked super sports graphics though always look great on screen and it’s been around for some years now.
