Sports-related websites are of many types: sports clubs, news portals, personal pages, fan clubs, and sportswear brands. The main factor to unite all these sites is sport, but their web designs have no limitations or strict rules. The majority of sport news sites are very content-heavy and it is a big challenge to make them look simple and attractive. Personal pages are usually modern and creative, but the balance of style and simplicity should be achieved as well.
Here are some examples of sports-related websites that you might find interesting or can inspire you for your next web design project.
