Graham Smyth@grahamsmyth.bsky.social · 2d agoFrom mid-September I'll be joining Leeds United as club journalist. Match reports, news, interviews and features. Podcast too, ideally. Really excited. The club gets under your skin and it feels like a particularly good time to get involved. #lufc
extremely depressing to seeing dan from tsb using generative ai on waccoe, very odd, glad he's being called out on it
they've specifically chosen the worst camera team in america to work on this broadcast
reupload: i did an #lufc and leeds city league history graphic, for no other reason than that it is fun to look at. wobbly line :) [reuploaded with a portrait version, let me know which version is less blurry on mobile and or if you prefer portrait to landscape]
struggling to find a work around for the bluesky compression codec for these graphics posts, that league graphic i posted earlier is actually an 8K file
always like looking at other peoples work but some of the other 'design people' in the lufc space are absolutely awful and it genuinely pains me
put together a graphic about the kit colour history of #lufc, initially an idea mentioned by @gazurtoids.bsky.social. i've not been exhaustive in the colour representation so there is definitely room for improvement but it's fun to look at nonetheless.
sounds like trafford to leeds is practically done for £40m+addons. absurdly impressive signing if it gets over the line.
if she sneezed hard enough the constituent parts of her facial work would line up like tetris blocks and a big horizontal line would disappear

really love the stylised historic southampton coat of arms that they will be using as the badge on their third kit this season, that serrated edge really ages it well
btw i take all suggestions and requests openly so if anyone has a local club or a badge they love that they'd like to see me take a shot at i'd be more than happy to
always happy to flesh out ideas i like the sound of and while i like it i think this may be a little busy.
Juan@juan4sorrow.bsky.social · 2w agoInteresting, I wonder if the shield would go too and just the castle with a black and white flag.
had to sacrifice the lion due to the line weight but i do like the overall look, quite happy with how this refresh of the current #nufc crest turned out even if there is a lion shaped hole in my heart.
🧢@ellandread.bsky.social · 2w agobegun modernising the current #nufc badge, very early progress but think it's already building a shape and looks good with a uniform line weight. the real difficulty will come trying to detail the lion and hippocampi without sacrificing the design.

regarding a modernised #lufc rose badge. where does the vote lie regarding the typeface? the original used a slab serif which was a little untidy but legible - i've got two examples here, the first is a custom titling style, the second a counter option, far more stylised.
last post for this concept, very happy with where i'm leaving it. would be great to know what #nufc fans would think about seeing this as a new badge - after all i'm just a leeds fan who loves football badges.
fyi if anyone wants me to do a breakdown of the leeds rose badge i modernised a year or so back i'd be happy to post that again.
a collection of the building blocks for my newcastle crest concept, comparing with the original. i'm happy how this first draft turned out and can see things i'd tweak but overall i think it works well, especially the black and white version. #nufc
after the news that newcastle are looking to move to a new crest — labelling their current one as intricate yet irregular — i've started looking at modernising the classic 1970's circle. the first step was to refine the inner design and incorporate some elements from the current crest #nufc
leeds announcing that they're happy to pocket money from the industrial military complex, what the fuck has happened to my club.
has a manager ever so blatantly shat the bed? ivan toney? at the world cup? against argentina?
a complete failure of game management, it's very rare that a managers decision is so clearly costly to his team but today it was unquestionable
matterface talking for 40 straight seconds when games end instead of letting the moment and atmosphere tell the story. a truly horrific commentator miles out of his depth, would be more at home talking over livestreams of brackley town games.
seen a lot of discourse about it as usual but i'm not sure you can be left-wing and disbelieve the falklands is british land to ignore the vote of a self-deterministic state with no indigenous native population is odd, to then remove those residents against their will is forced displacement at best
