Nice viz Ryan! I'm Dash Davidson, Sports Data Analyst on the Tableau Public team and I would love to quickly chat about your viz - it is right up my alley! Drop me a note at ddavidson@tableausoftware.com when you get a chance. Thanks!
Great job Ryan. My only comment is regarding the shade of blue that you have used. It pops a little too much from the black background so its slightly harsh on the eye. One of my Mattisms is i like to try to use the correct shade of colours if i am doing something from a company or sports team. So that might mean taking the logo and grabbing the colours from it as in my blogpost http://wannabedatarockstar.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/colour-me-right.html. In this case its even easier as UK has a really nice style document, http://www.uky.edu/Graphics/GraphicStandards.pdf which has the "official" RGB values in it for the shade of blue, which works better against the black. Generally using the primary shades, 0,0,255 etc ends up having harsh boundaries between colour changes which can look jarring. Thats only my opinion though, great job and welcome to Tableau Public
Matt, thank you for taking the time to analyze and comment on my viz. I very much respect you and your work and really appreciate your feedback. I have made updates to both the color and font based on the UK style guide.
