We knew a week or so ago they were changing!

I like it, not the straps though.

Sounds interesting, I imagine this will be the time it gets its new set.

But surely that will just be N8 as it stands with a lick of paint?

It looks better than what was there. It is more upbeat.

Yea I like the projection on the screens too although horrible straps and yucky fullscreens... they need to change the font and what not.

New Look Sport Today

In this video though there are some differences to what it normally is.. usually they start the bed right after the titles during a short pan, and the graphic in the headline wipe is the globe in this vid compared to normal, when its a sport today graphic... oh and I think they played a little tag at the end of the headlines the last time I saw!

I actually don't think it looks good at all... It's just a mess. Colours, music, graphics... nothing matches with anything.

Agreed. The 2000-2007 look was much better and didn't need changing. I sometimes think the BBC changes things just for the sake of it. They had better not touch the WBR music - despite being from the 1997 flags era, it is still brilliant.
