Long gone are the flashy graphics that showcase the game score, and Fox replaced them with big blocky letters and numbers.
The graphics don’t include the logos from the teams and instead are represented by initials of the cities they represent with the color of their respective teams.
After Fox Sports shared the new score bug on social media, people swarmed to the comments to question if the network had lost the rights to the team logos, while others commended them for their “clean” look.
