the richards group used to be good. kinda sad seeing work like this.
A retro look that works against modern college basketball. It suggests players might be in short shorts, shooting one handed set shots with a 1950's era coach who does nothing but scream and snap his suspenders. Plus the color scheme and starburst reminds me of a bucket of KFC.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one to think that. He looks like Colonel Doh.
