Did the 2023 Prizm design team forget something?
This has to be a placeholder than accidentally made its way into production, right?
There's no way they they saw a plain white text box and the team name in a basic black font sitting right behind the players' heads—the focal point of the entire card—and said, "yeah, that looks good," right? It reminds me of the 2017 Optic Rated Rookies when they accidentally left the faded white boxes meant for the autographed versions on the non-autographed base versions.

I think it looks fine and 2017 optic is one of the better designs imo

No white on baseball: No white on basketball: Suddenly we've got a giant whited-out bottom with football... The same whited-out design used on the autos... It's ok to love the cards we've been given, but if we're being honest Panini has gotten sloppy numerous times over the years.

The Prizm logo and team name should have swapped locations on the card design.
Was the design team trying to be edgy, thinking that it would be "too predictable" to have the team name below the player's name? |

You could lay down a common card from just about every year of this set and I'd be lucky to get 2 or 3 right. I know 2012, because of the gold pump, and Mahomes rookie year. 99.9% of these sets won't even matter in a few more years. I see this crap in cases at a show and just keep walking.

The Prizm design team has been putting out cards their entire existence that looks worse and less sharp than a Topps Chrome card from 20 years ago. No surprise here

I'd say they accidentally messed up, but their body of work is more likely they forgot to unhide some Photoshop layers and they just rolled with it.

When I saw the first cards listed on eBay, I honestly thought they were fakes because 1) there were sellers with cards a week or two before the release date and 2) how odd the team plate looks on the card.

Let's compare...
2017: Placed at the bottom in a faded, stylized white box with italics text. 2018: Placed at the bottom in a textured white box and again with italics. 2019: Not much going on here, but at least it's at the bottom and there is some gradient texture to the text. 2020: Gradient white text placed in a team color box at the bottom of the card. 2021: Gradient white text in a nicely stylized black box at the bottom of the card. 2022: A stylized black box and the white text has some gradient shading to it at the bottom of the card. 2023: It looks like someone used a label maker and stuck the team name to the card. It's right at the top of the card centered over the player's head and features solid black text over a white box with no gradient around the text.

I like the design of the name in black on white but it doesn't fit the card.
It would be better if it wasn't a bright white. Maybe a muted white. Definitely odd. |

For easier comparison, here they are right next to each other:

I'll have to dig up my post comparing Prizm from 2012-whatever year it was, 2021 or 2022, I posted it. There's definitely some positives about the 2023 release but that team name plate is awful. That much white is an eyesore.

There is no creativity compared to the different 2017, 2018, 2019 examples you have.

I was in the production meeting, they asked how they to make Prizm even more appealing to gamblers. I raised my hand and said, "What if we put a box with the team name top-center to make it easier for breakers to sweat the live reveal?" I got a twenty-seven cent raise that quarter.

The tragedy is that this makes perfect sense these days.

If they insisted on going with team name in that area, the team's specific stylized font would have been nice. Maybe even old school like the Starter jackets:

Now you just need to change the border up a bit and you have next year's design already finished for them. (I actually don't dislike this year's border design)
