Kentucky goes black helmet, white jersey and black pants at Oklahoma

ESPN soft-launched a new NFL scorebug and graphics package during a Raiders vs. Texans preseason game in August, and it is now the look on Monday Night Football. It is a long, flat bar with the team logos at each end on team color.

ESPN says the package will keep evolving through the season and will be the base for its graphics at Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027, on ESPN and ABC. That is ESPN's first Super Bowl.

We grade the scorebug a B-. In our ranking of every NFL TV broadcast, Monday Night Football finishes last overall with a D+.

Cal Football posted its Grateful Dead helmet on Monday night: a gold shell with the Cal script inside a Steal Your Face skull, a tie-dye blue center stripe with a white lightning bolt, and the dancing bears on the white rear bumper in blue-gray, pink, orange and green, with Oski in a CAL sweater in the middle.

It is for the Grateful Bears theme game, which Cal says celebrates the band's 29 shows at the Greek Theatre on campus. Cal (3-3) hosts No. 21 Wake Forest on Saturday, October 17, at 7:30 p.m. Pacific on ESPN2. The jersey and pants have not been shown yet.

FOX debuted a new MLB scorebug on Sunday for Game 1 of the NLCS, a 2-1 Brewers win over the Dodgers in Milwaukee. FOX's MLB account posted it during the game as a "New scorebug for the NLCS!"

The old bug put the team abbreviations over big faded team logos with a white center panel. The new one drops the abbreviations and the big logos for small team logos next to much bigger scores, and the center panel with the inning, count and outs is now black. The pitcher and batter bars and the 3D bases carried over.

We had FOX at No. 1 of 6 national MLB scorebugs with an A+. The new bug gets a B+, which ties Netflix, and Netflix takes the top spot because FOX's change made its scorebug worse.

Denver showed its Week 6 look on Tuesday: royal blue helmets with the orange "D" and the white bronco, an orange center stripe and white facemasks, plus orange throwback jerseys with blue and white sleeve stripes. The team says the set also has white numbers with blue trim, pants with an orange and blue side stripe, and orange and blue striped socks.

Seattle comes in wearing its royal blue throwback with silver helmets and silver pants, so both teams go retro in a color vs color game. Kickoff is Thursday, October 15, at 8:15 p.m. Eastern on Prime Video. It is the first of two throwback games for Denver this season. The second is Week 18 against the Chargers.
