Rygi13 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Big Ten Tournament - Gainbridge Fieldhouse I am continually disappointed by the the Big Ten Tournament courts. The bland black courts get a splash of color. The tournament's mosaic pinwheel logo spirals out from mid court into the boundary. The host city's name moves from the baseline to just in front of the scorer's table. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTrey4 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Every single one of these is a hit. Would love to see you tackle the ACC next (if only selfishly as a Pitt alum) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rygi13 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Now that I've wrapped up the B1G, I'll be working on some teams from other conferences. First up... Arizona State Sun Devils - Desert Financial Arena The Sun Devil's court prominently features the sun burst from the state's flag. The boundary ditches the wood stained finish and oddly spaced wordmark and replaces it with a maroon paint job that the sun burst motif and a normally spaced wordmark. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Georgetown Hoyas - Captial One Arena I love the Hoya's Kente pattern. The pattern is liberated from the lane and takes over the entire floor. Rather than staining or painting the pattern all over the court, I went for a more subtle effect. The pattern is painted on the court with a less glossy finish than the rest of the court catching the light differently. The 'G' at midcourt changes from gray to a bolder blue, while the lanes sub the gray and blue kente pattern for a more subtle tonal look. Finally the baseline text is changed from a generic font to the official wordmark. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rygi13 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Oklahoma State Cowboys/Cowgirls - Gallagher-Iba Arena The Cowboys and Cowgirls' new floor features the popular paisley pattern used by the OSU football team. The wood panels that make up the court come together at a slight angle mirroring the tilt of the "OSU" lockup. The sidelines and restricted arc are accented in orange and the current wordmark is replaced with the team's new western style wordmark. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Temple Owls - Liacouras Center The Owls have embrace the diamond motif in their uniforms and around campus. A modified parquet flooring pattern creates a diamond effect across the court. The court is outlined in a white and cherry stripe similar to their "T" logo. The "T" is liberated from the circle it is set in today and stands on its own (the white inlay may be against brand guidelines but it looks good). Finally the same diamond pattern from their uniforms runs baseline to baseline. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTrey4 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Love the four new ones. The sidelines for ASU seem a little plain. It feels like a great space for something like "Valley of the Sun" or any other slogan the school uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Kentucky Wildcats - Rupp Arena The wildcats embrace the checkerboard pattern in the form of a parquet floor with smaller squares than the traditional parquet court. The Wildcats use a tonal checkerboard today around the court, however I think it is too subtle and doesn't translate well on tv. A small checkerboard pattern is added to the sidelines in front of the scorers table. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets - McCamish Pavilion I'll admit it, this one is a little out there. The Ramblin' Wreck's court features a honeycomb parquet pattern and two large 'stingers' that spill onto the playing surface (similar to those on the teams football uniforms). The stingers and other gold logos and wordmarks on the court are finished with a metallic gold paint that sparkle in the light. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Miami Hurricanes - Watsco Center The court for The U takes on their logos asymmetry. The court is split between green and orange with a subtle hurricane inspired tonal spiral painted on the boundaries and in the lane. A white stripe of paint breaks up the two sides of the court, inspired by the team's current uniforms. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rygi13 Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Witchita State Shockers - Charles Koch Arena The Shockers' court takes on a vertical herringbone pattern meant to mimic the look of wheat. Wheat stalks extend from the court and run the length of the sideline. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Brown Bears - Pizzitola Sports Center The Bears' new court doesn't change much between the lines. The boundary is marked with red, an accent color used on Brown's uniforms. The sidelines are stained brown with a brick pattern painted on top, a nod to the campus, and corners are covered in the ivy from the team's logo. Finally, the generic baseline wordmarks are replaced with the official wordmarks. I've also made the executive decision that the 'new' Ivy League logo will go in the lane, rather than the old logo's placement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Akronite- Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Miami and Wichita State both kick ass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 Davidson Wildcats - John M. Belk Arena Davidson's current court is quite quirky. Their new floor takes on a more traditional approach with their team name moving from midcourt to baseline. The Wildcat in a diamond logo gets a bit bigger and the diamond motif extends to the diamond parquet pattern. Lastly, three claws... whiskers? accent the sidelines mirroring that of Davidson's 'D' logo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnkej Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Seriously awesome series, these are all spot on so far. I'd love to see you do the same concept with the NBA. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Washington Huskies - Alaska Airlines Arena The Huskies current court has too much going on, the Seattle skyline and contrasting three point areas. Their new court simplifies the playing surface. The boundary and lanes are purple with a tonal Husky fur design. The baseline wordmarks drop "Huskies" and the italics and add a gold outline. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
