New 50th anniversary court design

[julius]

I dont like:
- The shade of red
- The two-tone key and semi-circle (especially a white key)
- Brightly colored perimeter
- Minimilastic center court logo
- All lower-case lettering
- The Moda Center seats and the court will have an awkward two-tone red color contrast.

I know some of these things are "classic" but I also think its tacky and that the organization was right to move away from these types of stylings. I dont have any nostalgic feelings so this is simply based off aesthetic and my taste.

I'm sure that the red in the picture will be the same red they have used in the court last year.

Since it's in a grey and blue setting now (seats being the blue), the color might look odd.

My only gripe is the Moda center logo. I wish they would have put the old RG/Rose Quarter emblem.

wasn't it the outline of the RG at one time?

It was an actual rose. Was sick.

See, I think you're trippin' about the shade of red. It's the same red, it only looks different because of the amount of white.

Need this somewhere on our jerseys. In the right orientation.

I really like the PGA patch they wore last year, I hope it sticks for good.

 

[oldfisherman]

Going with Bones on this one. Don't like it.

 

[noknobs]

Yeah I like the concept of that logo at center court but I hate the color design.

 

[riverman]

Doesnt cover a single thing from my era.

Neither does the 4th of July but we celebrate eh?

 

[Titan]

I like it

 

[riverman]

I like that the color design is very 70s...….back when red and white were the predominant color themes...they definitely went old school with this design

This will always be the best logo.

Old school is the way it should be not new school.

best logo in pro sports period. Bulls and Yankees a close second/third for me in terms of how iconic they are.

 

[riverman]

Just how sweet would it be to win a championship on this court this season?

 

[barfo]

I'm with Bones on this - I don't see any reason to like it.

But on the positive side, it's nowhere near as abominable as the Ducks floor.

Yeah, never cared for the ducks floor or any of the other ones that are similar

To me the white key is synonymous with winning and the greatest era in Blazers history. Also, in a day an age where every team seems to be biting off of each other's style, it's great to see us be original and, to my knowledge, we are the only team in the league with a white key.

The lower case font is Trail Blazers basketball. Is it 70's in look and feel? Absolutely, but that's when we made our debut in the NBA. To me, that aesthetic is timeless.

I do undersand not seeing anything from your era represented and I obviously favor the early 90's as that is when I became a fan of the team. Might I suggest going back and watching some classic games from those teams in 77 and 90-92? A few years ago I didn't have much connection to the 77 team as I wasn't even born yet so I never watched that squad live. But I found a lot of the playoff games online from that title run and fell in love with that squad despite not growing up with them in the moment.

I have a feeling they’ll go back to that logo next year

 

[THE HCP]

Good news for you, you only have to look at it for 1 year.

Bad news for everyone else, we only get to look at it for 1 year.

Bro, that old school Blazers font is the best thing ever. I used it on one of my tattoos. God I love this court. Wish they would keep it like this for future year. They did an amazing job on it.

That's cool you had nerd tattooed on yourself in that lowercase Blazer font.

Im with you guys. I dont like it.

Says the guy who gave me shit for liking actual CD's instead of MP3's. LOL.

I'll one up ya....I like CDs burned from LPs....a lot of my Hendrix and Beatles recordings are burned backups of my LPs...I don't like the CDs mixes from that era...they tend to crank the bass and drums and bury the vocals

This HAS to be strike 3 right?

I mean, I guess thats the problem is I'm young so I have no nostalgic feeling towards it. This court is going to be loved by those who are 35 and older.

Watching classic games isnt a bad idea, because I want to like the court. I just think itd keep more novelty if they only used it every 5 to 10 games with a combination of different throwback uniforms. Thatd make it feel more special and it wouldnt where off. I guess part of it is I dont like it being used for every single game.

I mean you're on strike 45 but still are here.

Touché FAMS, touché.

Wait...someone thought MP3's were better? Sure, if you like compressed and crappier quality song files...

 

[julius]

Touché FAMS, touché.

Ok, which one of you bastards taught him that word?

Although, impressive that you used it correctly.

 

[riverman]

I don't see any reason to like it.

Try taking off the eye patch matey..
