Some thoughts:

* Showing colors of jerseys is not necessarily new, ARD and ZDF in Germany are doing this for a long time now.

* I like the round clock BUT! Why are the seconds below minutes? It's confusing. Why does the red bar representing stoppage time grow while the stoppage time itself shrinks (it's a countdown)? Does not work well together imo. What do you display when the game lasts longer than stoppage time? -00:56? And why take the screen estate of seconds for stoppage time? They aren't gone or anything. And I get the intention of "cutting" the clock in half for representing half times, but since the shape is primarily a clock I was wondering why the 30 minute mark is important. I'd cut the clock in quarters and use three of them to display the game's progress (45 min - one half).

* How does this work on low-res TVs? They are still out there and need to be considered.

* Did they explain their icons? What's e.g. the soccer field icon supposed to tell me?

As a whole it doesn't seem to be thought through, sadly.
