It would make even more sense for them to want to shine a light on the Blazers since it's the hometown team. Just speculation on my part, but it's a reasoned guess. I don't think Nike is going to overhaul the Blazers. People on here (or other less reputable sites) always assume Nike is going to do crazy things...but Nike has proven it can show restraint, too. The current home and roads (IIRC) were designed by Nike in the early 2000 (edit...maybe it was Reebok at the beginning of 2002 after Rbk took over the Blazers' court apparel from Nike). Maybe a small change in two years, but I don't see Nike or the Blazers getting rid of the diagonal sash or the pinwheel. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Chilton92 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I can see the Blazers going retro--or at least a fauxback--but not much else. http://www.manic-expression.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I hope that they bring the Larry O'Brien trophy back on the courts for the finals or at the very least as a jersey patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least we need a Finals logo or a trophy on the court. When I was growing up I loved those logos on the court, it felt big time.

Unfortunately this new NBA boss is all about turning this pro league into the minors, with crappy uniforms and ads on jerseys to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put new courts in when a team wants to wear a black jersey why can't they splurge for the finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would want to do that unless the NBA wanted to shell out the extra money for a new court to be used for at most 4 games if you are the 1 seed and does to 7 games, also you are gonna have teams like the Celtics who are gonna want to keep the parque floor regardless and not use a new floor which they should.

BBTV Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Also they don't know who's going to be in the finals until a couple days before they start so it's unlikely they'd be able to have a whole new court ready - unless teams that are regularly good just make one in advance and store it.

CitizenTino Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 If the NBA can design a court just for All-Star Weekend, there's no reason they couldn't do the same for the Finals. And since they use the same Finals logo, branding, etc. each year, they could theoretically use the same court for years and not just a few games. Honestly, I'm a little surprised they haven't done that yet, especially now that the floor decals are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the All-Star court is pretty easy, since all of the logos are finalized months in advance... Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

StrongXStyle Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 the best cases are the playoff and finals logos on the base lines near the scorer's desk or digitally placed on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Not sure if mentioned before, but the NBA Hardwood Classics uniforms for the 2016-17 season will feature seven teams: 76ers (1966-67 season), Cavs (1986-87 season), Hawks (1970-71 season), Kings (1984-85 season), Knicks (1946-47 season), Lakers (1987-88 season), and Raptors/Huskies (1946-47 season). Not sure if the Pacers' Hickory jersey and the Mavs' Brad Davis era jerseys will carry over from the current season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Kobe finally retired, I guess the Lakers have re-cycled back to the gold Showtime-era jerseys. Also, is the Lakers piggy-backing on the Golden State Warriors recent playoff success?

I don't see what you are talking about? Using a California outline maybe, but they were California's team before golden state got hot last year.

I mean, the All-Star court is pretty easy, since all of the logos are finalized months in advance... It might not have team/city markings, but I don't think it would have to be bland. Between the Finals script and the LOB trophy logo and all the related branding elements, you can come up with something pretty interesting.

The digital placement was another idea I was kicking around in my head. I don't think you'd want to use that technology to superimpose a giant LOB trophy at center court like we saw a few years ago, but a Finals script inside the 3-point line at each end seems doable.
