That looks pretty good to me. Wouldn't mind seeing the Big 12 logo in the lanes. I also thought having "James H. Hilton Coliseum" at center court was kind of a classy touch in some of the other designs, but that would probably start looking a little busy.

You know who has an AWFUL looking court? Kansas. Their court legitimately looks like it was designed in MS Paint.

Agreed.

It is terrible

Maybe it's silly, but I just expect a historic program like KU to have a classy, easy-on-the-eyes court. Instead they have that absurdly large Jayhawk at midcourt and Allen Fieldhouse written in a font size I'm assuming was chosen so senior citizens could easily read it on TV.

We need some samples that use "Hilton Magic."

Agreed. That's awesome. Not sure about the freethrow jump circle hash marks. I don't know that many do that any longer.

And the protected area under the basket may need to be yellow (is now) and brighter to help the officials - particularlly when KU comes to town. Or maybe even illuminate the entire restricted area.

#2 by OP is nice.

Putting anything other than "I-State" logo in Center court is stupid. That new Cy face is okay (and I mean just okay) on shirts or hats, but the blender Cy was better and walking Cy the best of all. Still none of them belong on the court.

I've always loved the idea of the outline of the state of Iowa around the "I-State" logo at midcourt.

This is what I like. Few changes that I think might add to it. If you would be willing to do them that would be awesome.
  • Change State borders to gold/yellow
  • 3pt and other lines should be cardinal/red
  • Arc in lane should be gold/yellow
  • No half circle
  • Big 12 Logo
  • Hilton Magic by scorers table
  • Lighter stain inside 3 pt line similar to NCAA courts.

3. I don't like the shape of Iowa on the court

Was this a Fran quote?


Maybe in this whole court design, we can embed one of these just off the main floor in front of Fred's bench:

6a00d83451616069e201538e3d4e36970b-350wi

It would be a nice little tribute and would give announcers something to talk for years if they get tired of talking about Fred's championships.

It's nice but then how is he supposed to remember them.

It would be neat but wouldn't be used as Fred keeps all of the plays somewhere as he does them in a notebook type thing I believe.

I wasn't really expecting it to be functional. That's why I said tribute
