Making New Courts For Every NBA Team (UPDATE: 2023-2024)

[pelicanfan]

 

 

new hornets city editions leaked so here's my court concept for it before the official one releases. basically a more modern and sleek take on the classic court. unfortunately i couldn't find the cursive wordmark anywhere so i just used the current one. i also felt generous and made a 3d version.  

[pelicanfan]

here's a court concept for my pelicans. i'm biased so of course i also made a 3d model for this court too

it's based off the new orleans hornets court with the two color keys and the nola logos. also added a fleur de lis pattern for some added detail.

here are my concepts for the two LA teams:

basically used the old san diego logo and combined it wit h the old LA cursive wordmark. also put that design from the logo onto the corners of the court. kinda like how they did it on the shorts of the unis.  (i think this court is a big step up from the original san diego court i made 2 years ago lol) 

old lakers font with stars (just like the jersey) and i replaced the gold with blue since the jerseys are more focused on purple and blue. also used the same exact star pattern from the 2018 all star game for an added touch. then i added a star on the bottom with 49 which  is the year of the lakers first championship

here's my court for the nets. wanted to use the modern grey wood but combine it with the old throwback colors. thought it'd pair nicely. also combined the old and current logo for the center court logo

and here for the suns i guess is a new and improved version of the court i made last year for the suns. i used multiple fonts for the court like how the leaked jerseys did. but apparently those were scrapped

This is fantastic but I think I'd take "San Diego" off the center court logo and enlarge the Clippers script.

incorporated two jersey design elements with the fur on the sides and trees on the bottom. also used the old logo but with the modernized colors 

inspired by the statement court i added some subtle pinstripes in the keys just like the jerseys. there's also a subtle star pattern on the border too

The logo in the middle should be the Nets’ official logo 

[pelicanfan]

basically i used the throwback logo but with the modern colors. used vertical wood flooring with a subtle grizzlies pattern wood stain. 

 

 for the bucks i used the old logo but did some customizing to where the deer wears the bucks city uni to match, kinda like how the raptors did it (it wears 21 for obvious reasons). i then implemented the green rainbow pattern for the keys. and put more emphasis on purple on the outside.

The last two are great, love the detail on the retro Bucks logo and the rainbow in the paint! Grizzlies floor pattern is awesome as well.

here's a pistons city edition court. i basically followed what their new standard court has but recolored it accordingly to the jersey. also used the old pistons logo with matching font on the sides. 

 

 

and for the kings court i made it half purple and half black inspired by their old color blocking jerseys. i then put their new sac town logo (that i had to recreate) for the mid court. then i put the old style wordmarks on the sides and "1951" with a crown on the bottom to honor their rochester 1951 championship 

 

ps: there's also a subtle checkerboard pattern in the keys inspired by their use of checkerboard in previous jerseys 

[pelicanfan]

here's my take on the spurs court. the court is a mix of the old Alamodome court and the current city court. i used the old key design and sideline font. aswell as the paint brush part of the old logo for the mid court. and on top of that is a white spurs logo to match the white jerseys. 

 

 

and for the wizards court i did some blue and red color blocking with a touch of gold just like the jerseys. i then used the old logos and recolored them to match

[pelicanfan]

for the pacers court here i pretty much just implemented the jersey design into the court. used the old word marks on the side and the throwback logo at center court. also a return of the yellow keys for some better contrast

 

 

and for the raptors i used a north facing court pattern. throwback wordmarks on the sides. at center court i remade the logo from the jersey myself. (this is what inspired my bucks court from earlier) and on the bottom there's a canadian leaf with 95 to signify their first year as a franchise. there's also the zigzag pinstripe pattern all on the border and keys.

well guys this pretty much tops off this seasons court series thank y'all for sticking around. i might make some random courts here and there but for the most part this is it. i'm always open to ideas though

here's a throwback inspired pistons court. i'm gonna start doing some anniversary themed courts since it's the nba 75th anniversary. as you can see there's the diamond colored logo up top i'll be using that for the anniversary courts. 

Every time I see the Pistons horse, I can't help bit feel like there's a MIGHTY NEED to bring it back in some capacity.

While the original Charlotte Coliseum court and jerseys can't be touched (basketball, hornet streak up to center court, and all), this is a good update.

With how much the Nets are using their City Edition, I wonder if that'll become the new main design.

I honestly can't believe I haven't seen the W in the old wizard until today.

heres an all star 2022 court i made. inside the arcs i put a silhouette of the hope memorial bridge statues on each side facing the middle where there's a silhouette of terminal tower. and on the border i used a rock music pattern inspired by cleveland's music scene. and on top is the official cleveland script wordmarks.

 

i know it's a pretty busy looking court but that's kinda thrown out the window when it comes to all star games lol 

[ChiCity95]

Nice court, but I feel that it would look a little better if black was somehow incorporated into it...

[pelicanfan]

cherry blossom wizard court based off the new leak. i know i probably shouldn't start until the leaks become official and i get better looks but screw it i've been waiting  to make a japanese themed court for an nba team. 

so this is sort of based on their current court. but i replace red with pink and used an alternate logo at center court. added some cherry blossom art on the corners and used a japanese font for the letters. also made the wizard man hold a flower instead of a ball. and last touch was making the wood stain in the arc more of a rose tint

Is there a reason there's no Celtics courts? (maybe I missed them)

yea i haven't made one yet. it's kinda hard to make city edition courts for them because their city jerseys always already match their main court
