lucky Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If it's color-coded by region (and it must be, right?), I think it's great Yeah do that. Do exactly THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenTino Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 An explanation of the new NCAA tournament courts: http://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2016-03-15/march-madness-court-designs-ncaa-debuts-new-look-hardwood?cid=ncaammsocial_tw_sf22589974 I'm not over-the-moon excited about the design, but I think the concept is pretty cool.

There are a few alterations I'd prefer to make to these, but they're much better than the new ones. I never understood why these got so much hate.

bri1275 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Old courts sucked out loud. New ones are better but I still preferred it when they just played at the sites normal court. Gave each site its own distinct personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 My first impression on the new graphics used for the tourney... they look so generic. It has no character, which I guess is what they were going for since it's broadcasted on 4 different channels. The new court is meh. Anything would have been an improvement over the old one.

Jabel777 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The new graphics package is AWFUL (I loved the last one). I like the package but the main scoreboard on the bottom is horrible. This one is just way to bland and takes up too much space. On the other hand, the new courts are great and finally have some character. Well, guess you have to trade one good thing for another...

It seemed like most of them were smaller schools that weren't in the tournament, which made sense because it wouldn't typically give one team a huge fan advantage over the other. I still remember finding out that Texas-San Antonio was the Roadrunners because of an NCAA Tournament game played on their court several years before they actually made the tourney (possibly before they were even tourney-eligible).

An orange-on-black matchup wouldn't surprise me for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14er Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I like the darker color of the new floor. I really like that they are using different colors for different locations. But the lane bothers me. Hard to tell if it's another wood stain or simply white. I wish it was blue or the location color, or even make it the primary dark stain and flip the half circle to the stain inside the 3pt line.

This version was fine, but once they started going to the different wood stain inside the 3-point arc, it took a downturn. That leads to my complaint with these courts this year. Pick a stain for the wood and use it for the whole court. If you want to paint the key, fine, but three or four different shades of wood grain is a bit much.

pcgd Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 From a designer's perspective, I love the new package of graphics and how everything looks together. Clean and cohesive. Great branding throughout. From a fan's perspective, I really miss when they used to just apply an NCAA logo over the existing court. Boise's old court always stuck out to me because I think they hosted every year, and it was so unique: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The new floor template kills the black and blue drab they had been using. Just replace the midcourt logo with the blue NCAA sphere and it's an all-around win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just replace the midcourt logo with the blue NCAA sphere and it's an all-around win. I agree. I actually liked the big blue sphere. The black with blue letters was getting really tired. This is better and what appears to be different colors by region is a nice touch. Of course, what I'd really like to see is the old days of "host schools". I know very few sites are the home of the any college team, but they could still use host schools. When the Metrodome used to host, the floor had a maroon/gold trim (and maybe even a Minnesota block M on the corners). I am sure there were other examples. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."
