LEWJ Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 So I'm watching the Michigan vs. Duke 2K Sports Classic game, and I noticed the logos on the court.It looks to me that the State Farm logo (inside the arc, opposite the 2K logo) is at an odd angle.It looks like when it was put onto the floor it was made so that it appeared straight on TV, compared to angled because of the court being at the angle it is from the camera.Does anyone have any clue what I'm saying?(Also it almost looks like it was put in digitally, which I highly doubt).I'll try and find pics. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played the angle so that it would appear straight on TV. Just another reason they shouldn't let sponsors put ads on the game surface...Here is another thread about when Ford did that with the Toronto Maple Leafs' on-ice space:http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=61927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this done for a few years in Euro hockey and either Aussie Rules or Rugby. If you look at it from the non-standard camera angle, it's surprising how distorted it is.
