richie923 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I think the Bobcats might be getting a new court. It looks like one of those two tone courts.This isnt in the arena, this is the practice court, so well see if it will be their actual court next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I hope not. There are enough blue teams already. Stick with orange, Charlotte.Come to think of it, that difference in wood color is just damn tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Too many teams are going to the two-shaded wood. They should just keep it all the same color wood then have an orange key with blue in that one foot area on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 yeah its becoming too much of a trend to do the 2-tone wood...it should just be exclusive for a couple teams (sonics & suns?)and yeah, the bobcats need to stick with their red-orange...

whitedawg22 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Two-toned wood is OK if they keep it subtle. But if one part is platinum-bleached so hard that it's borderline white, like the Cavs' court this year or these photos of the Bobcats' practice court, it gets really ugly and hard to watch. oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

BB61 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Two toned-Schmoo toned.If it still has Tom O'Grady's crap logo on it, it's still . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsontide Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 That's just a practice court. It's not in their arena. I know some teams like to duplicate the floors at their practice gyms and game arenas so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 These practice court previews seem to pan out usually...we'll probably see this. I'm sick of the two toned look. But I'm sicker of the NBA itself.Hey when the Nuggets switched to the sky blue, didn't their court look a little different in the preaseason or something? I thought they had some kind of gradient at the top of the key or something, then it got changed to straight blue which looks weak.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I don't like the two-toned look. Just stick with a simple finish, with single-color keys. Let the color burst come from center court and the baselines.

The Danimal Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Interestingly, the Bobcats' practice court is part of the arena - it's right there at street level so fans can watch the practice from outside through the glass.That having been said, I don't quite see why they'd repaint the practice court even if the game court is being changed. I live in Charlotte and have heard nothing about a new court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie923 Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yea I live in Charlotte too and havent heard anything either but my guess would be if they are doing this to the practice court I have to bet they are doing it to the Arena.Another picI think this is an upgrade over our previous court but I would like it even more with this logo at center court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vercetti Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 yeah I hear you richie293, that secondary or, "side" logo as I like to call it, is much better. I think the logo and name is so commercialized (spelling?) that most tams should have original or script-less logos at center court like the grizzlies or even the suns.and On a side note, having blue is not as bad when your PRIMARY color is orange...Sould be the charlotte tigers...that has a ring to it eh?

powersurge Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Two toned-Schmoo toned.If it still has Tom O'Grady's crap logo on it, it's still . That logo has got to be one of the worst logos around. Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe its me, but it doesn't even look that much like a bobcat. It has some characteristics, but they are so stylized that it just looks more like it was done by a design student in their first year in college than a professional. I've always loved the colors but hated the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopskid Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I like this logo a lot more.It was one of the possible logos. I recolored it, originally it was in gray scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopskid Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 That is a pretty cool logo. 2 things tho, it uses a gradient, which a lot of teams are avoiding now a days.The teeth need some work, other than that, it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCdog Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I cant tell if this is in the Bobcats Arena or not...Judging from this pic, its official, the Bobcats have a new court in the arena. 1. You can see the courtside seats and part of the seating bowl in the upper right hand corner of the pic. 2. That thing above the cheerleaders in the background.....that is the center-hung scoreboard, which has been lowered to the floor. Not sure why they would do this....maybe to hide unannounced upgrades which are being made to the arena or maybe they are doing work to the scoreboard itself....like possibly adding the new corporate sponsored name of the building on to the scoreboard. The Cats have been actively looking for a naming rights deal for Bobcats arena. But with this pic.....the Cats have a new court.....that much we now know.I cant tell if this is in the Bobcats Arena or not...Judging from this pic, its official, the Bobcats have a new court in the arena. 1.
