A footballer in a red kit bursting through a ring of flame at the exact centre, with an oversized yellow letter X that has a black-and-white football tucked into its upper arm. Four purple-tinted opposing players are frozen mid-dive in all four corners, so the player appears to be shooting past a diving keeper at each end. A single enormous horizontal flame tongue runs the full width of the top edge. The words STRIKER and XTREME are split left and right of the figure in matching yellow letters with red-to-white gradient shading and black shadow.

A vividly airbrushed soccer-themed backglass. Deep blue night-sky background with white specks, a huge horizontal tongue of yellow-and-orange flame sweeping across the whole top edge, and a curved blue grid of glowing light-blue rectangular panels (like a stadium floodlight wall) arcing behind the figures, flanked by green hills and palms. Centre: a single male footballer in a red short-sleeved shirt with white collar, red shorts and red socks with white bands, black boots, dark hair, grimacing face, running toward the viewer with arms out, framed by a burst of red-and-yellow flame. A huge yellow block letter X with black outline sits over his hip, with a black-and-white football tucked into the upper left arm of the X. Four smaller purple-and-magenta-tinted players, each mid-dive or sliding with arms outstretched, are scattered in the top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right corners. Several footballs float in the air. The title reads STRIKER on the left and XTREME on the right in yellow letters with white-to-red gradient shading and heavy black drop shadow. A red rectangular manufacturer logo sits bottom right.

One helmet is uniquely black with a yellow diamond bearing three red, white and blue hypocycloid stars, and another is uniquely orange with a black tiger stripe pattern. The bottom-right corner of the sheet carries a glossy blue-and-yellow sphere pinball logo above a web address.

A printed decal/backglass artwork sheet laid out as a four-column grid of seventeen separate rectangular panels on a white background, each panel carrying one American football team name above a large three-quarter-view helmet with a wire faceguard. Every panel shares an identical backdrop: a black night sky over a faint outlined stadium structure, with orange-and-yellow flame or firework bursts behind the helmet and a bevelled orange-to-brown border frame. A block of tiny white instruction print sits at the lower left of each panel. Team wordmarks vary in style: '49ERS' in crimson old-west slab serif, 'BEARS' in solid orange capitals, 'BENGALS' in arched orange-and-black stripe block lettering, 'BRONCOS' in navy caps, 'BROWNS' in orange, 'COWBOYS' in blue, 'EAGLES' in white and navy on a swept pennant, 'FALCONS' in italic red, 'GIANTS' in blue underlined, a green oval 'Jets' script, 'LIONS' in blue, 'PACKERS' in green, 'Panthers' in blue italic script, 'RAIDERS' arched white on a black shield with an NFL shield at the right, 'RAVENS' in purple, 'REDSKINS' in burgundy, 'Seahawks' in blue mixed case, and 'VIKINGS' in purple serif. Helmet colours are cream/crimson, navy/orange, orange/black-striped, navy/white, plain orange, silver/blue-star, midnight green, black/red-silver, blue with white 'ny', white with green 'JETS', Honolulu blue with silver lion, yellow with green 'G', silver/blue/black panther, silver with black pirate, purple/black raven, burgundy/gold, silver/navy/green, black with a yellow diamond carrying three coloured hypocycloid stars, and purple with a white wing-and-raven motif. The bottom-right cell is a glossy blue-and-yellow sphere pinball logo above the web address in black.
