I tried to sneak in this evening to grab a pic but was turned away because I wasn't wearing a hard hat. Anyone out there with a hard hat and a camera?

Where are our spys?????
If any of you need it not to get traced to them just send it to me. I'll send it to my girlfriend and who on earth would think someone in czech republic had pics of the new pelicans court
A pelican beak down the lane w/ wings on the sides of it stretching to the arc
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
My buddy was at the court yesterday scouting for a movie called GeoStorm. Sent me these pictures after the fact. Said our guy from Smoothie King was there, and said the court had to be sent back because it did not meet NBA standards? Apparently they varnished it wrong or something? Anyways wish I had more and better pictures for you guys. Not sure if this is news I didn't go back and read the whole thread.
Now that photos of the real thing have surfaced, here's the mock-up of the new Pelicans court design: pic.twitter.com/pJEHg8cG6I

the Legend has spoken!
Can somebody post the twitter picture on here? I'm on my school iPad and Twitter is blocked.
Thanks for the pic. And that's what I wanna know too. He said it was a varnishing issue. Well the definition of varnish is "resin dissolved in a liquid for applying on wood, metal, or other materials to form a hard, clear, shiny surface when dry." I don't see how that's a design problem.
And it'd be crazy for the team to purchase the court and have it made if it wasn't confirmed, much less lay it down for a test.
I don't know how I feel about it.
Lowe said "bold". This is fairly simple.
Bold =/= Complex
Bold = Doing something that hasn't been done before
Regarding the approval Zach Lowe said the design was approved
Yes! Appears Pellies got approval in time RT @Philup_BooDro: @ [me] you can kind of see the new pelicans court pic.twitter.com/bwTCMfXAqX

I would imagine any issue involving the stain would have to do with using the right brand/type, be it for player safety or even marketing reasons, and they'll just have to redo it.
It's better than the last court, at least.
