Comcast game broadcasts and Dodger blue

Prior to the season, FSN Bay Area relaunched as Comcast SportsNet Bay Area. For the most part (with one glaring exception described below), the change has been limited to the microphone logos. The network kept Kruk and Kuip (the best in the business), although Dave Flemming is rotated in for play-by-play now from the radio side.

My gripe with the new management? The graphic at the top of the screen. The bar is Dodger blue. Hated Dodger blue, people! With a red accent. Neither of these colors are in any way related to the orange and black of my beloved Giants. Would it really be that difficult to follow the FSNBA mode of using orange and black for the graphic? I get that Comcast's corporate colors are blue and red. So fine, keep the logo in the corner of the screen the same - fly the colors there. But for the game summary graphic? Let's see some Giants colors. If I can get those, I'll even forgive CSN for those awful post-game broadcasts from ACME Chophouse.
