# Tron-Inspired Sports Renderings The Future of Sports by Tim Tadder and Mike Campau is Sci-Fi Chic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-02-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-of-sports References: [damnitsawesome](http://damnitsawesome.com/the-future-of-sports-photography-by-mike-campau-and-tim-tadder/) & [timtadder](http://www.timtadder.com/) What the sporting world holds for itself in the future is only something time will tell, but The Future of Sports by Tim Tadder and Mike Campau identifies some [super sci-fi depictions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects) of what might be in the years to come. Highlighting a very Tron-like chromatic scheme, the photo set is starkly structured and places atheletes in relatively strong settings that include [basketball courts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ballers-sports-venue) painted completely black, yet brightly lit, or [cyclists riding through town](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yai) on a light cycle-inspired ride. There's a clear focus on darkness, which is a common theme when it comes to prophesying about the future. With that said, does the future have to always appear so strongly focused on black? Perhaps it's a more hopeless view of what will be or a protest against moving forward. Whatever the case, it's likely there shan't be such a lack of optimism. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sci-fi Sports:** Design and promote sports events and gear that incorporate a Tron-inspired, futuristic theme. - **Chromatic Aesthetic:** Introduce vibrant and edgy chromatic schemes in athletic equipment and facilities to enhance the overall game experience. - **Dark Atmosphere:** Create sports events that propose a futuristic, dark atmosphere, such as a night-based neon-lit arena or a dimly-lit court. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sports Apparel:** Design futuristic sports apparel and gear with an edgy chromatic aesthetic to enhance the player's experience. - **Sporting Facilities:** Create futuristic, state-of-the-art sporting facilities using a Tron-inspired and dark aesthetic to add an immersive feeling to the venue. - **Entertainment:** Establish innovative and unique sci-fi sports events to attract a wider audience and enhance the overall fan experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raw Sports Emotion Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-exhibition.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delorean-cyberpunk-concept.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Athlete-Joined High Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afrofuturism-1.md) - [Cyberpunk-Inspired Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyberpunkinspired-sports-cars.md) - [AI-Driven Sports Training Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-training-systems.md) - [Gaming Style Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-x-martine-rose-campaign.md) - [Immersive Sports Supplies Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegas-sports.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md)
