Delux247 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Well, not quite every team. There are 4 teams whose court I like enough to leave alone (I don't like posting concepts that I believe aren't as good or better than the real thing). Traditionalists may want to avert their eyes. First up, the Northeast division: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goforbroke Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I hate to start off negative, but I don't think any of these concepts are better than the originals. The execution looks rushed as well. I'd like to see a more complete package, namely baseline text.Celtics: Don't like that logo (certainly not better than the leprechaun) and too much black, even for a radical concept.Knicks: not enough orangeSixers: not enough anything besides blackRaptors: BlandNets: Best of divison (which is called Atlantic btw)Bulls: pretty good, not better than current thoughCavs, Pistons, Pacers, Bucks: All nice, could be cleaner execution thoughGood idea for concepts, needs work though.

NHL1016 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah I agree. They are downgrades from their real counterparts. The Nets used that type of key prior to the 2001 season IIRC. And the Cavs looks like the ones they used to have. [Coloring History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaha32 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I would like to see some words on the baselines and other areas. I dont know if you just prefer courts without baseline words or you just didnt feel like putting them in for whatever reason.

Delux247 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks for the feedback guys. I hear you on all the rushing & baseline text comments. All I have to work with is MS Paint & the files from this site. Given that criteria, here's the Southeast division:Washington's court was one that I thought was done as well as possible.

Delux247 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I just wanted to comment on these concepts.ATLANTICBoston: I wanted to keep the classic parquet. Since their team colors seem to be limited to white & green, there isn't much to do differently from their current court. I love their alternate jerseys and wanted to represent that a bit on the floor.New Jersey: I love this one. Again, the alternate jersey was used for inspiration. I'm not too happy that they removed the alternate logo on the wings so I replaced that. The 2-tone look is classy in my opinion and I think it fits here.New York: Currently they have the most bland court in the league. As you'll see throughout these concepts, I looked to the jerseys for inspiration. I tried to represent the proportions of colors in the jerseys on the floor here.Philadelphia: There is definitely a dearth of blue here, but look at their logos and jerseys - also a dearth of blue.Toronto: Silver lines may not work on this floor, but I like it better than white within the Raptors' color scheme. This is pretty similar to their current floor but that's just a testament to how much I like their current look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if that is what you were going for. haha. I do think you should add some lettering on the backs. It would make it look better and more complete. I don't really follow basketball so I don't know what the courts look like compared to what they have now. But the lettering on the sides will probably help you out in this concept.

oo_nrb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Some very cool work in here! I'm a sucker for some of the more modern twists to a court, so I really like things like the bird at the bottom of the Phoenix court, the Blazers' "tail marks" (or whatever those are called), and the basketballs for Orlando. The Nets and 76ers work well as well, I think.Being a Colorado kid, though, I'm going to have to take slight issue with the Denver floor. Those colors just aren't working. I think part of it is that the main part of the hardwood looks very peachy in color, and that just innately clashes with the sky blue and gold. I like that you incorporated the blue into it, but there might be too much of it right now. I'd put it in the key, and maybe even make it the darker blue that the Nuggets are becoming so fond of lately (see: the tweaks to their primary for this year). I like the mountain + banner logo, but I think that works better in a smaller version (similar to what they have now, in the corners). I think that the pick-axe logo works very well as a center-court design - it's very unique. The other option might be to use the just mountain logo, with no "Denver" banner. I've always wanted to see what that'd look like on the court (though outlined in blue, cause just white wouldn't go so well ) .Excellent work you've got in this thread . 2011 Colorado Rockies | Season from Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yac12 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I really like the phoenix rising out of the floor.That might be an idea that would work for the mountain for the Nuggets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon11 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Definitely a fan of the Bucks, Magic, and Trailblazers courts. I probably like the Magic court the best with the added basketballs along the sideline. I also like the baseline of the Blazers court. Looks good! brandonjbrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
