At the start of the season I hated it. But its grown on me a bit. Its pretty mid tier imo and beats a lot of the ugly ones of the past. But is a downgrade from last season for sure

[@mudged]

imo i like it

[@man4437]

It's alright. It's not exactly bad-looking, but it lacks the pizzaz of the 2007-2013 ones and also isn't as clean as the last one. The NBC one too is beautiful. It's just clearly the weakest one in a while

[@MadPaperMario]

Personally i think although flawed is still fine . bit better then the 2019 one, but no where near the mid 2000s - early 2010s scoreboard of the prem.

So to have the Premier League follow in its footsteps made kid me so happy. Which is why i was also so mad when they simplified everything and made it flat/boring to look at

It’s quite unique and I like it. Its focus is on the score and the team colours which are the most important elements of a scoreboard for the viewer.

[@leonmarkal7860]

Honestly, I kind of like the new scoreboard. It pretty much has everything you want from a scoreboard, good visibility, (team) colors and simplicity. Also the Prem logo in the middle also brings everything together. If you compare it to the previous one it is still simple, but with more character and generally more interesting. Also I like the fact that the score numbers are bigger, you can just see them on the first glance. In the end I think for you this just needs a little time to get used to, but I already like it.

The current leader, Botafogo, had something like a 16 point lead like three months ago and then had a streak where they won only 3 out of like 9 games after that and bottled the lead Arsenal style, with the 4-teams-relegated system they've got, that fight is also interesting. But what's really insane is just the games they're playing I'd recommend watching Botafogo vs Palmeiras and Gremio highlights, that league is fucking PEAK

[@kats1646]

Maqwell, I'm on my knees begging you, please make a video on the Brazillian league. We're potentially witnessing a bottle job to put Arsenal's to shame. Botafogo had a 13-points lead after the first half, the best first half campaign of all time, and everyone thought the title race was done and dusted. But now after going winless in 5 straight games they are leveled on points with Grêmio and Palmeiras, 1 point ahead of Bragantino and 3 ahead of Flamengo, with 5 matches left in the season. It's just insanity over here right now.

[@de132]

Liga MX reminds me of NCAA College Football because so many different networks have rights to it at the same time

[@faintcry]

I think the "glossy era" aligns more with the design trend of "frutiger aero" and such of the time. Imo, probably one of my favorite design trends of the late 2000s/early-mid 2010s - especially for scorebugs. (2010/14 World Cup, 2012 Euros, early '10s UCL scorebugs...etc) The glossiness just makes it pop out more, and provides more nostalgia.

[@RatzaChewy]

Sky took this, ran with it, and have never let go. Their Sky Q service still reflections and glass effects even though it was launched in 2016 - way after the trend's heyday.

[@petermhz]

I... think you're quite wrong. The score bug is bold and visually striking. The way the score 'breaks' the plane of the bug draws attention, it's use of color makes clear which teams is wearing which uniform, the typography is literally 'bold' and easy to read. Occasionally you get white on white, but even when that happens, it's not hard to make out the score. The standard bugs are fine-this is trying to drive some visual interest.

[@petermhz]

For what it's worth. 10 months later. Still wrong. Especially now they have the playful animations in there.

I actually like the new Premier League scorebug. At first I only thought it was only for the Premier League Summer Series. I also hope that NBC adopts the scorebug they use for NFL and College gridiron for the Premier League. And I also have an unnatural obsession for scorebugs, particularly during the Super Bowl.

I was just talking about this with my dad last weekend. They've completely removed the club names from the bug, it's just badges.

It looks fairly nice, but you have to follow the league quite closely to know what the hell is going on.

[@biggusotongus1121]

I'm already bored of everything flat-minimalistic style. Apps, logos, scoreboards. Literally everything looks flat. It was cool 6-7 years ago, however it just feels bland and lazy in 2023. Any designer saying otherwise are just smartass corporate drones to me. On an unrelated note, a couple months ago, a big tech company in my country launched their new app, it adopted a mix of more glossy/aero look from the 2010s era, which I adored because finally something looks "unique" in this year of 2023. You know what happened? Techbros-slash-designers shitted on it because they think it looks like windows 7/office 2011. I don't know if this is just nostalgia, but I think this flat corporatism (or whatever it's called now) style just aged relatively quicker.
