When it was rejected, they instead used the same proposed design to revitalize the city parks and rec center courts. There's pictures of what the design would look like if it was approved.

pelicanfan Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I like the streetball vibes of it. I just wish it was an alternate court or something to match their statement jerseys. Because I really loved their original court. It was a top 5 in the league in my opinion. That dark wood with the black and white lines was just perfect.

kimball Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 It'll be interested to see how this influences courts moving forward. Ever since the Bucks came out with their "Fear the Deer" black heavy court more and more teams having been getting alternate courts. I wonder if we'll see more courts like the Nets?

I would love to see the Knicks do something with the Green and Red courts you see in Parks Department courts. Maybe even shaded on trees with empty branches. as an alternate court of course.
