Fox's New Super Bowl Scorebug Design Faces Widespread Backlash

The redesigned graphic debuted during Super Bowl LIX drew criticism for its size, simplicity, and perceived distraction from the game.

Fox Sports unveiled a new scorebug design during Super Bowl LIX, featuring large team abbreviations and bold typography in team colors without logos.
The minimalist design was criticized by viewers for being overly large, visually jarring, and distracting from the game action.
Social media reactions were overwhelmingly negative, with many comparing the scorebug to amateur designs or video game aesthetics.
Some commentators defended the design, citing its clarity and functional improvements, such as better visibility of timeouts and possession indicators.
Fox has not yet indicated whether it plans to revise the scorebug design before the upcoming NFL season.
