    New Court Design Coming?

    Per Zach Lowe's court design piece on Grantland: http://grantland.com/features/nba-co...ower-rankings/

    We’ll have to redo this ranking once the season starts. The Pelicans have a brave proposed court redesign that might be the league’s boldest, but they have not received final approval to deploy it this season, per several league sources.

    Last year’s debut was a solid first crack, with an angry pelican holding a ball in its beak at center court, a soft gold painted area that was probably too dull, and the nifty incorporation of the fleur-de-lis in two of the four corners.

    Let’s place them here for now and revisit later.

    Was coming here to post this. Really hope the league approves (and it's a good look.)

    How could the league decline anything after the special jerseys they've been releasing?

    Stern denied our black and gold jerseys but silver seems to be more about progression so hopefully he passes it.

    It'll be one of those magic 3D picture things where you gotta squint and tilt your head to see the logo.

    I hope so, between court and jerseys all has been as bland as possible. Which could be fine for a place like minneapolis or milwaukee, but not new orleans

    Start the new season with red painted area, bird-de-lis at center court, parque floor and red/gold road jerseys?

    Also gold home jersey alternates.

    We play our first preseason game in less than a month. What's the hold up on this court and the alternate jerseys?

    Big Dub should have been in charge of designing everything and I would have been thrilled

    The court could have been better, but no real complaints.

    it's amazing that we'd redo the court after just 1 season

    maybe that could explain the hold up on the reveal of the 3rd uniform... the team was and still is hoping to do the uniform and court concurrently

    as it is... I liked the court... but am interested to see if they do go w/ the supposed new, bold design

    and i hope fervently it's nothing like oregon's... also really hoping this isn't about incorporating more falcon red on the floor.

    The court was extremely bland last year, particularly with the gold being too close to the wood color. I will be excited to see this new court if it gets approved.

    You should be banned for life for dropping the f-bomb the week after that painful loss.

    Heh. I don't even wanna look at any birds of prey right now. The ones in Georgia and Washington...ugh.

    But their day will come. But we gotta bring a defense with us when we play them.

    This would be great. The court looks terrible on FSNO.

    Im more concern with the Arena dull lights which transpires terrible on TV. We need better lights and true HD cameras for FSNO, instead of looking like 06
