Rockets planning to unveil new court design this season

I like the new design.... Gives a pure, hardwood feeling.

 

Here's a better view form the Bobcats 2007 Draft Day Live Party.

 

that's not that big of a change

it looks the same to me... just come colors are inverted now

 

The change is not that different but it's nice.

 

If, you are viewing the live feed, then you can see that it's almost done. Looks pretty good.

 

I hope the wood doesn't look yellow on TV like the old court design. All that red was also an eyesore.

 

Yep, the main reason why they are changing the court. The red absorbed way too much of the Toyota Center lighting.

 

i love it. looks more sleek and clean. but it's all about the play.

 

The offseason is way too long. You guys are talking about wood on a basketball forum.

 

Yeah its wood, but its wood in BASKETBALL court, specially in the court where our favorite team plays (rockets)

 

do u think they are thinkin of a grey alternate jersey because if u look at the new pics of the power dancers they are wearin grey jerseyz

 

No, because to have an alternate uniform, the Rockets would have had to submit an application and approval from the NBA office. Jonathan Feigen said the Rockets did not do this.

 

The gray sucks. I'm glad they got rid of that gray painted area in the top of the key. Gray jerseys would suck.

man, those workers on the floor were up bright and early on a sunday!

 

wat design -_- i only see a change of color

 

This may sound a little weird, but i want them to take everything out and replace it with a thick giant rocket with a throbbing vein through it.

I think if don't paint the rest of the court, they can save the money and put it into the design so that it can be the first "moving" design on the court. We can make it wiggle and shoot rocket juice at the opposing team. This would of course be a graphic on the floor and we wouldn't actually see opposing players being drenched with rocket juice by a giant throbbing rocket, unfortunately.

 

You're touching your Rocket right now, aren't you.

 

how boring. i hate all of these new ticonderoga courts.

give me the 95-96 floor with the blue wings, rocket blasting off and stars everywhere court any day.

 

but i think the worst part is that with so many teams are going with this ticonderoga home depot lumber section approach, it takes away from the uniqueness of every arena. back in the day you got to look forward to seeing the celtics' classic parquet floor, the bulls' sleek black court, the honeycomb pattern in charlotte, the rocket blasting off in houston, etc.
