Drew22 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 The court for the UConn/Gonzaga game today in Seattle is the strangest thing. It looks like they took the Seattle Storm's floor, then threw some sponsor/event logos on them. But the baselines look like the old Sonics baselines, only they took of the Sonics part, so it reads "Seattle" and it is left justified. So the court is dark green, gold, and red. But, the baselines are yellow and a lighter green.Game is on CBS if anyone wants to check it out. I'll try to find pictures.

ShinyHubCaps Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah, I guess I don't get it. They obviously modified it because the two-tone is split at the college 3-point line and not the NBA line, so they could have made more of an effort.

BJ Sands Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It's sad seeing the Sonics banners when CBS uses that under-the-basket camera for free throws. The court is actually distracting while watching the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I wish there was a way to let everyone know what they're calling this game. I mean, how are we supposed to know it's the "Battle in Seattle"? https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Did they had to make the battle in seattle logo so huge? trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManCalledAmp Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow. Awful. I don't know what I expected from the descriptions but wow.Interesting to see they even put the Husky head on a basketball logo on the floor too, inside the arc left end of the floor as we look. Huge logo at mid court...and the off colored stain bled out from under the college 3pt line. Ew. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals. Grizzlies. 14ers, Jam. Team Spirit + Laziness = Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesi427 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 In the highlights, when UCONN is scoring, you can see the Sonics banners hanging from the rafters as well.
