I think it's a mistake to add the game and the scoreline, it was better with just the goalscorer and goal time. Then there's a bit of insider knowledge about them, you can see if people know where the goal is from, you can explain it to them etc.

 

I would keep it as simple as possible with the text.

 

I disagree with this. These goals are memorable events and having the score and date provides context of the day. Makes it more memorable.

 

By the way if this hits big time, you might want to consider filing some sort of patent or intellectual property protection. Otherwise some f***er will just copy your idea.

 

Great idea this, but might want to follow the advice in the above post as a priority. Also, since you're looking to commercialise this, you might want to check that you are not breaching someone else's IP. I know Codemasters had the Sensible Soccer brand, and I can't imagine they would be happy someone else making cash out of this. Having said that, they might have just bought the name rights, not whatever intellectual property exists in the original graphics for example. It would still rest with someone though, maybe Jon Hare and the original guys at Sensible.

 

It is not a foregone conclusion that they could prevent this (you are not after all releasing a computer game with the same graphics), but as soon as you start making money from something you will find that the owners of the IP will start taking a bit of interest in this. Might be worth just checking this point with someone before you spend a load of your own time and money on it.

 

Im already exploring this, the original plan wasnt to monetise the site via selling items but people demanded it :)

 

Hopefully ill get permission as it would be a shame not to be able to do framed prints etc

FA Cup classic goals like Ricky Villa, Giggs v Arsenal and particularly (pains me to say it) Radford's would probably be popular to a wider audience.

Someone would have to pay me a lot of money to make Radfords, I dont think my computer has enough brown to make the pitch realistic!

 

Speaking of 'joke goals' ive just added Sunderlands beachball goal to the Facebook page, www.facebook.com/PixelReplay

Agree with this. It also makes the image a bit too 'busy'.

 

We have similar concerns and are looking at some alternatives. I like the original simplicity of the design and the concept that to the people it means something to they will know the score and scorer. I think there is a balance to be found and hopefully I'll find it...

 

By the way we will be randomly selecting a request from our Facbook page at 1pm so head over to Facebook.com/PixelReplay and get involved :)

 

I think the balance is by including the name of scorer, name of both teams and time of goal but in discreet small white form in one corner of the T-shirt such that it does not distract from the actual goal.
