ESPN graphic STILL says Delta Devils

[1msucub]

It’s nearly unbelievable.

This is a terrible disrespect to the University of Ole Miss.

17 ESPN.

What can be done about this? This a VERY unprofessional and it has gotten really ridiculous.

Embarrass them with a win

I think we employ people in the Athletic Department that have this is part of their job as well....perhaps in Marketing.....

I called ESPN this morning and told the "you better 17n fix the name today".
Their reply was "well if you guys played any better than the delta devils we would"

Whoever it is (PR, Marketing, Media Relations) they're not doing their job. This should have been immediately addressed by our people after they used the same graphic on Sunday for the womens game.

ESPN is filled with incompetent people, so there is a possibility that this is just incompetence, especially with all the layoffs. But it seems much more likely that this is just a low level production person getting a kick out of tweaking the fan base after finding out it bothers people and believing we don't have the clout to get him/her in trouble for it.

It's not going to change unless the SEC makes an issue out of it. It should be easy for the SEC to put a stop to, as whoever is in charge of the relationship with the SEC should not want a low level lackey antagonizing their business partner for no reason, but ESPN may be facing so many problems, and may feel they have already paid way above market for the SEC partnership, that they just don't give enough of a **** to reach out and fire somebody over it.

Sad thing about it is that I would be a lot more upset if they did this to the women's basketball team than to the men.

They did, it started with the Women's UT game Sunday.

Besides the fact they've got the name wrong, who the 17 designed that screen? It looks awful.

 

[Shamoan]

Why change now? The graphics budget has been slashed anyway

Graphic designers are not social drinkers...they are full blown alcoholics.**

Below Mississippi State, it says Delta Devils. The spacing is horrible so it's easy to miss. A lot of people including myself missed it live. Probably a template of a graphic that is modified for each team, and even the person who modified the graphic missed it.

Holy cow - I saw the picture yesterday but missed it. That written so small, it's like they purposely tried to sneak it in there. I mean - its maybe 1/4 the size of the ticker at the bottom that I can't read without my glasses.

ha ha- thanks!
I started at that picture for a couple minutes and didnt see the letters. Damn 3d posters take less time to see.
I genuinely thought those letters were dots of some sort- just part of the crazy *** pattern then put up within the graphic.
