Hi,

I just noticed a new theme came out and it's called 'Sports, American Football' and it looks great, I hope to see more themes and the ultimate customizable theme.

Android app does not have the board for this new theme in the list of the custom boards but it does have the pieces, so it looks like a bug. Would you guys please review this? 

Also, is this new theme here to stay or is it like a special theme that I see every now and then and will be removed?

Since it was added to the app as an option, it's likely going to stay around, though it's likely part of the Blitzchamps: https://www.chess.com/news/view/chesscom-announces-blitzchamps

Though I'm not seeing the piece set as a custom option.

Martin_Stahl, thanks, seems you're a bit unsure, is there a way to know this for certain? Can somebody in the know (like chess.com staff) comment here on the future of this theme and why the board is not available in the list of custom boards in the Android app? I am only speaking of the Android app, I've not tried iOS and such.

Are there any plans to have the custom colors for light squares and dark squares? This has been in the variants mode since the beginning, I wonder when (and if) we'll ever see it in the standard.
