FWIW, that lane design isn't legal. They will have to delineate the neutral zone, at least.


Not anymore, see the OKC thunder court

Here's what the Thunder rolled out their first year...


Here's what they recently switched to...



Look pretty similar right? It's just a rendering at this point, but we know they'll add the arena logo to the court when it's the real deal. They might add other touches as well...we're still early in the rebrand. But for the most part, NBA courts are simple.

Some other designs done by NBA2k modders.





Is a two color lane too hard to ask for?


Busy court designs? Sort of Oregon'ish.

I'm meh on it.

It's certainly not terrible.

I'd like it more if they ditched the Fleur de Birds and replaced them with the CCB logo.

Meaning they are going plain Jane because they didn't have enough time for marketing research? Because bigdub seems to be able to put out new designs that people like pretty quickly and I'd assume the guy they hired that did the logo can be similarly expedient.


The organization is doing a ton of things at once. There is a subtlety that comes with good mature designs. I'm sure things will change over time, but initially, the franchise is going to look like an expansion team.

I disagree. Everyone loves the color scheme and logos, which are much, much harder to come up with than a court design. As someone else said, all they have to do is plug in different logos and colors and they can get 50 different designs in 30 minutes. They just went with one of the more basic ones.

It is kind of boring, but that's better than trying too hard. And I'm sure it won't be hard to roll out a new design later on if they get negative reaction to this one

This.

Fleur De Bird stinks. The Nola logo would've also been preferable.

That being said, the court looks great.

I'm not a big fan of such a light colored wood grain, but that is a very small complaint. Looks good and I dig the fleur de pelicans.

I like it. Classy with a bit of flash.

I'm so jealous of Cans' new logo, looks super bad arse

Pretty sexy.

It's gorgeous. I have to admit I am starting to really like the Pelicans, as a team name / identity. It sounded preposterous at first but.... it's starting to feel pretty cool to me. Their amazing logos and colors don't hurt. Have they released their uniforms yet?

Fail on my part: I saw the wrong one in this thread this morning and thought it was the court.

This one is perfectly fine. I like it, in fact.

This wasn't a fail on your part. It was a fail on the organization's part. This is what I was talking about when I said "debacle." They announced the release, then put up the wrong rendering. It's been bad.

Yep, and darker wood resembles more of the type of wood that a Pelican would be found on or near.

The positive that I take away from the design choice they made is that blue and gold will definitely be the colors emphasized because I'm not a big fan of red.
