There is just something about this photo that screams NOLA and I LOVE IT.



What you guys think?

Maybe the court could be a dark greyish purple wood. Something like the Nets do. But ngl this is growing on me A LOT.

They originally tried to go with a Black and Gold color scheme but the league rejected it because too many other teams were using black. That's when they shifted to the NOLA flag color scheme.

I heard the green is a tribute to the impeccable New Orleans institution that is the Sewerage and Water Board.

So.... were we one of the last to submit? Why did we get singled out as the "that's just one too many teams with black" team

In a sense, yes. This was back when the Pels were trying to change their color scheme as part of the rebrand from the Hornets.

In that case, we would have to borrow from director, John Waters, and install
“Odorama” in the SKC

New Orleans Voodoo would have been a better name to begin with.

I still am triggered seeing the Utah Jazz in their black and yellow uniforms.

I don’t know what you saw but I saw vomit painted on a court. It was absolutely terrible and I hope I never have to see that shite again.

I specifically mentioned changing the court to a NETS style with a greyish purple wood or something to the sort.


Keep the Skellican Logo as that shite if straight FIRE.

90% of the fanbase would love this. These are by far the most popular City Editions we’ve had. I don’t like the court though. It’s fine for the tournament games but that would be annoying as hell for a full season. Also, our new regular court looks great this year.

I agree that the tournament courts are just too wild and not something I would want to see regularly. However, I really am not crazy about our new court. I think it is boring. I actually prefer the old one and wish they would have just somehow updated that one.

I don’t understand why Gayle won’t spend $100k on a city court, but every school in the archdiocese gets a yearly handout.

It looks like a distraction.

Blue, Black and highlighter green are your colors of choice? Just reminds me of the Seahawks, U of Oregon, or someone else up in the Pacific NW

I laughed so hard when Jen gave that report that the purple represents the nights on Bourbon St. and the neon green represents the street lamps.

I will sign a petition to go back to the real Jazz purple, gold and green colors. And I still want our name back.
