Design the new Moda Center court

[THE HCP]

All those teams are small markets.

Bro, you need to buy you a clue. You actually consider Atlanta,D.C., Toronto "small markets"?

My final submission

Simple and Clean

Watching the Heat/Spurs right now and San Antonio's court is just a simple black baseline/black key.

It works

You know you're playing the Spurs with those colors

 

[Strenuus]

The fan site thing is just lip service. They aren't going to use any of those suggestions.

This is the truth. Just like "american idol" voting.. they could give a rat's ass what we think.

You are a bitter little angry guy aren't ya'. You don't think they'll take any of the entries into consideration?

I think the term Small Markets is relative to the "popularity" of the sport in the city in relation to the rest of the league.

It's a business. And one of the most creative ways they've learned to keep viewership/fanship is to "involve" the fans... but we never actually know if we are accounted for. They can blast out numbers, but without statistical proof that those numbers are legit, they aren't going to be proven wrong. And that's why they keep doing it, they know no one can prove them wrong. (yet).

Tin foil hat much?

Nah. I just don't believe some things at face value. Doesn't make me crazy. Don't know why it would?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I do however think they should unslant (is that a word?) pinwheel and make that the classic look.

The correct term is South Korean'ing.

I remade it with a slight change.

I think you were the only one who thought it was funny. I sure didn't.

 

[dviss1]

Lines should probably be black on that one. You have to have the Restricted Line.

When British magazine The Economist reported on global rates of plastic surgery on April 23, South Korea emerged as the most-cosmetically enhanced population in the world. Naturally, when the story was carried by various news outlets around Korea, it set chin implants wagging, with some netizens opening their wide, double-lidded eyes in disbelief while others lamented the demise of natural Korean beauty.

Here's mine:

I would do the darkened area as the black stained wood like UCF. That way the lines really contrast between the Scarlet and Black.

Changed it just a bit. And I think mine is the best. I would also do the inside of the baseline lettering in white.

These are my choices:

Starting to like the idea of a black paint.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I'm telling ya, this concept is the way to go!

Well, I'm sure somebody will guess the combo they'll use, and "win".

I'm diggin' both of those.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was going for with mine. That was a good looking floor, and the white key really stood out. I just changed the baseline to red so it contrasted against the surrounding seating and framed the court a bit better. And I think it just has a little more visual interest than a black baseline.
I also thought that the white key might make play in that part of the court more visible - not only to viewers, but to refs and players so perhaps we could get more 3-sec defensive calls against our opponents, or make sure we get outside of the restricted area when trying to draw a charge. Having the restricted line painted on a white surface should be more noticeable in your peripheral vision. And I feel like the red baseline would be more noticeable for the players, and perhaps that could reduce the number of times a player steps out of bounds when they're in the corner.

Refs don't look at the actual paint. We look at the players in between the lines. So the lines would have to have good contrast. This is why IMHO as a ref I would not want a white paint. I have look at feet. Home feet are white. Most away feet are Black/Dark. If you want to achieve the desired effect of the official getting a good look at feet in the paint and possibly calling more D3 calls, I need a paint that can contrast both those shades. This is why I think the paint should be Blazer Scarlet and the college line White with all the other lines Black. This way as a referee you can clearly see who is entering the paint and how long they are in there. Like this:

I didn't realize that home teams typically wear white shoes. I didn't think ANYBODY wore white shoes anymore and figured shoe color was just a personal choice.
But in all honesty my color choices were first and foremost chosen for aesthetics and based off one of my favorite court designs, with any strategic advantages being secondary. I still think that even if it doesn't help with reffing, white and red would be more noticeable than black when players are using their peripheral vision.

That's why I said to have design teams from both Nike and Adidas team up and why I want 3 or 4 designs for fans to select from.

Finally someone with true vision and taste in this forum.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Oh it's just me speculating. Pay no mind.

It would seem with a finite amount of combinations available on the website they are going to be able to "choose someone's design" but it will just be a coincidence, whichever one they go for will have been made I would think.
