    I actually quite like these.

     

    I wouldn't seeing some of these aspects, namely the hat logo, being adopted to add something to the Astros lifeless regular set.


    This entire set is 🔥🔥🔥…from the top down to the socks. Amazing job.

    Especially baseball.  June-August, it's going to be more uncomfortable in Vegas than just about anyone's home town.  I'm not sure going to see my MLB team in the summer works out quite as well as going to see an NFL* game in the fall or an NHL game in the winter.

     

    *NFL does start amidst the heat, as evidenced by my Labor Day weekend Wisconsin/UNLV trip...not the best time to get away to Vegas. But you as point out, it's the Raiders and it's the NFL.  MLB is going to have to rely on the local population, at least for most of the season.


    The A’s can make it work in Vegas with an Allegiant Stadium style full ETFE roofed ballpark and a retractable field with sliding glass panels as seen in Houston (Minute Maid Park) and Miami (Loandepot Park). Also, summertime in Vegas is also pool club season so I’ll call my shot …a Vegas A’s ballpark will include a resort style stadium swim club. If they can make it happen, the perfect site is the Vegas Festival Grounds by Circus Circus on the north end of the strip. In addition to possibly luring tourists to catch a game, the valley has a metro population of 2.2 million, 200K lower then Portland who I consider the only other competition in relocation currently but has had no talks with the A’s. But in Las Vegas, they’ll likely also draw road crowds from the Dodgers, Angels, Padres and Diamondbacks. 
     

    IMO, there’s no question the A’s will be more successful in Vegas then in Oakland, stuck perennially in the shadow of the Giants in the City. The A’s are offering to fully fund construction of the waterfront ballpark if the city cleans up its infrastructure at Howard Terminal. And with the port/Schnitzer Steel opposing this along with the demands of local politicians, there’s no way I see the the July 20 city council vote going in their favor. Last weeks meetings revealed their simply too far apart to come to an agreement by July 20th. Interestingly enough, the A’s are due to visit Vegas for a 3rd time on July 21st, a day after the Oakland city council vote.

    By the way, for the original court, this was the court I was supposed to post here, with crown pattern. #accidentalmistakelol

    I didn't put the honeycomb pattern in the paint. It's TOO busy, in my opinion. Sorry 'bout that.

    I also added the iconic Philips Arena's 'ATLANTA' sign.

    C&C appreciated.

     

    How about a 90's Gradient vs current Brand Jordan era mashup court.

     

    1. Current Hornets secondary bee above and air trail leading up to bee. Current honeycomb woodstain, but with the 90's era gradient court with painted arch and the honeycomb paint area, aligned to the honeycomb woodstain.

    ehhh... why stop there? 

     

    2. New Orleans Hornets Fleur De Bee vs 90's Hornets gradient court, with current honeycomb wood stain. Same idea as 1. But in New Orleans Honets logos & colors.

    3. 1996 Hawks court, but with current Hawks colors & logos (especially volt) and with the current subliminal triangle theme from current court in all painted areas of 1996 design. Heck, maybe even continue it with a triangle woods stain too lol
