About this capture
The Athletic: All Sports News (com.theathletic) is listed under Sports on Google Play, peaking at #182 on the Sports Top Free chart. AppIconVault stores the icon as a dated artifact so a later redesign can be compared against this version instead of disappearing silently.
Platform differences worth noting
Play icons ship as square 512px masters and are masked by the launcher, so safe-area padding matters more than on iOS, where Apple applies a fixed rounded-rectangle crop. Icons that read well in both stores usually keep the identifying mark inside a generous central circle. Use the mask preview to check how this artwork survives a circular crop.
Icon timeline
One capture per week per storefront. Recrawls in the same week collapse to the latest icon, so US vs BR (and later countries) can be read as icon A/B tests.
