Blazers to have a new two-tone court layout for 2014-15 season

[SlyPokerDog]

The Portland Trail Blazers are in the process of designing a new basketball floor layout that will be ready for the Moda Center in time for the 2014-15 NBA season, a source with knowledge of the situation informed CSNNW.com.

The new court design is expected to be a two-tone color scheme, similar to most modernized arenas, the source said. The current Trail Blazers’ floor layout has been the same for roughly 10 years.

According to the source, the new-look floor is one of few organizational enhancements that president Chris McGowan has in the works for the coming years.

Counting Antonio Harvey wouldn't that be a 3-tone?

I wouldn't mind some new jerseys as well.

I would hope they would have the paint actually be painted like this again.

I hate the two tone.

More corporate bs wanting to be like others.

They are missing the mark on so many things.

 

[BigGameDamian]

They should put a light silver circle around the pinwheel in the center of the court.

I care more about whether or not we win than the color of the court.

I also hate the two-tone look. Currently our floor looks pretty classy. The two-tone will make it look trendy.

I hated the court that had a white center and free throw lines. It seemed sooooo blindingly bright.

I don't like the HUGE logo that either was or used to be center court though. But to be honest, I don't care what the court looks like, I care what the team playing on it looks like.

two-tone is the 2010's version of the 1990's "teal".

This was my favorite.

This with herringbone would be sweet.

Please God don't let this be another Matthew Knight arena fiasco

 

[barfo]

I don't think I understand what 'two-tone' means in this context.

This.

That's the ugliest court I have ever seen.

This two-tone buisness has got to stop. Think about 10 years from now when these become outdated and people who were brainwashed by the media to think it was good looking see how shitty it really is.

I went back and looked, you type the word "media" in 85.3% of your posts. Either you were recently fired from that line of work or you own a tinfoil hat.

Jason--Go back to the Oregonian. I often use the word, too.

No and No. Media.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of, too.

 

[handiman]

I actually love the two-tone look, with the 3-pt arc separating the shades. But the Matthew Knight puke-fest court does not belong in the same sentence.

That's a CLASSIC. Great job of incorporating the team colors, yet keeping it very functional. If they wanted to shade the area inside the 3-point line a little darker or lighter, I'd be fine with that. I just don't want them to stray too far from the classic and functional look just to be trendy.

Can someone please provide an example of what this "two tone" look is so I can see what you all are hating on it for?

 

[dviss1]

Yeah, y'all are being haters. The two toned scheme is pretty tight to me.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Yeah, y'all are being haters. The two toned scheme is pretty tight to me.

I don't think it matters, like at all.

Why people would get upset about this confuses me.

because it's change. People seem to hate that for some reason. Even if they're not sure what the ultimate outcome might be.

I'm fine with the two tone shading, but my that is one hideously busy court. The center court logo is way too big, too damn many swords and too many different colors and fonts. Why are the large swords blue and the smaller ones green. Loose the "C" with sword on either side of the key. It's totally non-functional. Make the center court logo smaller. The "Quicken Loans Arena" looks like a total afterthought. The font is different and so is the color. Two of them side-by-side is redundant. Make it the same shade of blue as the larger swords, and mirror image one on each side of the court. It really is hideous as is, and it has nothing to do with the two tone scheme.

Changing Uni design at the same time?

I'd say go with red on the baseline/sidelines rather than black, bring back the white key, black free throw circle, red three point line, smaller pinwheel at center court.

I know someone wrote earlier they hated the white key, but I loved it. It was unique for Portland.
