I agree. The three column newspaper theme is a little overwhelming. I also think legibility could be improved by changing to a sans-serif font.

I see potential, but the name really should be more sports sounding.



That's interesting...before last night it was sporting helvetica font throughout, but I switched it to times to give it a little bit more of a newspaper feel. I like the logo in times, but the content looks better in helvetica. Is it a design atrocity to have a mix?


It isn't against the rules to mix it up. I was just at theonion.com, and they definitely mix it up. The headlines are either serif if the body is sans serif or sans serif if the body or link is serif. The button navigation is also sans.

I think your page would be easier to read if you mixed it up a bit. It just looks like a wall of text which is intimidating. There needs to be differences in the text to distinguish if they have functions or not.


Thanks for the link, I am going to try mixing it up and see how it looks.
