CBS debuted a new scorebug for Super Bowl LVIII, and it garnered mixed reviews from fans.
The new scorebug was fairly similar to the old one, but with a few cosmetic changes. The most notable difference was the font, which struck many as very basic.

The font choice was the primary criticism. To some, it was too big, and made the entire thing look amateurish.
the new CBS scorebug looks like one of those temporary scorebugs they throw up when they're having technical difficulties

the CBS scorebug looks like the font wasn’t properly exported so it just defaulted to some random sans serif

Is that Arial font on the new CBS score bug? What are we doing??

The CBS scorebug looks like it's in Times New Roman font.

Is it just me or is this new CBS score bug decidedly underwhelming? That giant block lettering for the teams looks like an elementary school project #SuperBowlLVIII

The new graphic did, however, have some fans.

No immediate issues with CBS' #SuperBowlLVIII scorebug. Could be a little lower, though.

It has become tradition for networks to debut new graphics when they have the Super Bowl. They rarely go over well, but everyone gets used to them eventually.
