Designer Lou Spirito is making "Vignelli Inspired" transit maps of major sports leagues, named for Massimo Vignelli, designer of New York's famous 1970s era subway maps.
Each transit line represents a division.
This gives a nice sense of how compact some divisions are versus others, the NBA being a great example.
Whereas leagues like the NHL and NFL have these strange configurations with Florida teams grouped with teams in the northeast.
It is also interesting to note the differences between the sports with purely geographic alignments (basketball and hockey) and baseball and football with their National/American splits. I would like to see how other leagues look such as Major League Soccer or the WNBA.
