pelicanfan Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Phew after many hours over the course of about a month or two, i have finally created a whole set of City Edition court concepts for all 30 teams. Normally i don’t do this many. But with so many teams having lackluster jerseys this year I thought I would step in and try to make up for what fans have to go through this year with the jerseys. So yes, a lot of the designs are pretty extra or even weird. I really wanted to go out of the box this year and be a little more experimental with my work. Hopefully you guys enjoy. (also i included teams that i already posted just cause this will probably create a whole new page and i might as well show all 30 teams) Spoiler hawks- for the blue part of the court it’s suppose to resemble flying “wind” movements. i was inspired by their marketing pieces for the jerseys celtics- left and right sides of the court featuring a side design resembling the ones on the jersey. center court are the official city edition logos by the team nets- kaws made artwork in the arc and logo at center court. aswell as the kaws logo at the bottom hornets- sort of an inverse of the city edition court they’ve been using. heavy mint and teal palette used to match the jerseys bulls- really got stumped by them but i tried my best to play into the theater theme by making the top and bottom row of the court look like theater sign lights. also added the “madhouse on madison” with the bull logo cavs- took the gold pattern from the collar and arms and put all around the court the border of the court mavericks- wanted to represent both fort worth and dallas in this one court. so i featured both skylines on the court with these official wordmarks from the team feature the city names. also slightly adjusted the mavericks logo to fit the music theme, shout-out to anyone who manages to notice. nuggets- used the fading line pattern throughout the border of the court and at center court is the giant 5280 logo with the thin mountain lines pistons- bone pattern throughout the border. and i have no idea if this would even be allowed but i used the BAD BOYS wordmark on the sides. and of course the city edition “Detroit” at center court warriors- with the warriors having so many black and yellow jerseys/courts, i wanted to switch things up and go no paint in the border and make something more distinct for the warriors. running down the middle of the court is a curvy stripe made to represent lombard street. rockets- obviously couldn’t pass up on the space theme, so i went all out with a space design on the border in blue and with some hard researching and editing i managed to get a full cut of the astronaut logo at center court pacers- paint splatter theme in the border with city edition logos on the sides and center court clippers- apparently the clippers jersey were going for a cartoony theme on their jerseys this year. but obviously no one could tell so i did the bold move of putting mini cartoon basketballs (designed directly from the jerseys) all over the court. partly inspired by the 90s sixers court that did something similar lakers- didn’t want to play too much with the lakers since typically they go for simpler designs and it didn’t feel right to do too much with them. but i did use the city edition old school don’t throughout the court grizzlies- with their jerseys sole gimmick and design being centered around the MEM logo i of course put it all across the top and bottom of the court. i went dark mode with the court featuring an all black and white palette and dark wood timberwolves- directly inspired by jerseys, more explained in previous post pelicans- this is just a recolored version their regular court except with it uses their city edition logo at center court and their city edition font (which was actually impossible to find.) and yes this is the second court i’ve made now for the pelicans; the first one was actually just a concept i made on my own before the jerseys came out believe it or not knicks- for the border i featured a triangular design made to resemble the knicks logo. at center court is their old school logo with the dark shadow. and on the sides of the court are the wordmark with the extra drop shadow. oh and i also added subtle pinstripes in the paint to resemble the jerseys thunder- i used their city edition pattern all over the floor even on the wood the players step on most. magic- i greyed out their signature parquet floor to match the palette of the jerseys. i feature their pattern on the border of the court sixers- inspired by terminal market i used their city edition logo at center court which inspired me to make a line and dot design all around the border suns- lots of color fading to resemble the jerseys, more explained in previous post blazers- i really like the old school look that plaid comes with so left most of the court unpainted with the exception of the paint which features the plaid pattern inspired by the jerseys and center court logo kings- surprisingly they have not used their anniversary logo at all on their courts so i took it upon myself to make an anniversary court for them spurs- probably my favorite one i tried to utilize all the colors that come with their marketing around the jerseys. with the primary colors being brown and orange. i went for a western look so of course i used all their city edition wordmarking and went for a darker wood raptors- i used a raptor claw design all over the border of the court and made most of the court primarily gold. the wood also aligns to point up to represent the north jazz- plain purple court with mountain inspired wood stains that have a fading effect just like the jerseys wizards- made a rusty design all over the court. their jerseys have a triangle motif so i used a triangle design all over the wood stain of the court all star court- inspired by the tournament style with the full painted wood. i included some pattern designing on the border that’s often used by the pacers and some comments on each court design. mostly keeping it short and sweet 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicanfan Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Clippers just revealed their rebrand. Thought i’d add some of my own pizazz to the court Of course used their brand new logo at center court and wordmarks on the sideline. But i also added those flag emblems they use running down the baselines. as well as a nautical compass silhouette on the wood. i also had the idea of making the paint blue on one side and red on the other. inspired by their (once was) asymmetrical use of red and blue on previous jerseys 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
