The Sport Thread - For stuff not worthy of a thread of its own

Edit: and NJ v Philadelphia now, with NBC’s old NFL graphics used between 2018-2021 (NBC’s college football coverage uses an even older set of NFL graphics, used between 2015-2018, meaning NBC using three different sets of host broadcaster graphics for the same sport).

They've been showing it from the start of this season - didn't have the inaugural season afaik.

Unusually the Fifa u20 World Cup is not on TV or streaming this time around. Normally Eurosport show it - The BBC have both the UEFA men’s and women u17 champs at the moment.

Speaking of FIFA, the official logo and brand for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico will be revealed at 19:30 local time in Los Angeles.
Also for the first time, each host city will get their own branding too.

Little snippet of info on next years Paralympics at the bottom of this piece on wider issues at C4 stating that coverage will be produced in Wales. I assume though presentation will be back on location.

Quote:Katz also revealed that next year’s coverage of the Paris Paralympics will be produced from Wales by established Sony-backed Paralympics producer Whisper, which will see around 200 staff from the region working across the coverage.

There are news reports coming out today saying that at least three people were killed in flooding in Imola & Emilia Romagna regions in Northern Italy.

F1 and the FIA have released an official statement to say that, as a result of the severe flooding taking place there, they will not hold the Imola GP race weekend at this difficult time.

The USPGA Championship golf also affected by bad weather with the first round delayed by an hour or so. The CBS press release says there's a new graphics package (and music) for this year's event, though it looks to me it's just a recoloured version of the CBS graphics seen throughout the PGA Tour.

Also confirmed this morning that Sky and the USGA have agreed a "multi-year" deal for Sky to continue to show the US Open and the women's US Open. This means all four men's majors and five women's major will be again live on Sky Sports this year.

And here you go... a very simplistic and really hideous design.

And some examples of host city brands...

From this pic (sourced from Sports Video Group), you're right. They swapped the green for navy blue.

Giving me London 2012 vibes. I quite like the distinctive style for the numbers, though not sure it works too well for the 'We Are' text. Perhaps a more readable font would work better?
