Title: Best/Worst Court Designs
Post by: Reboulet on January 18, 2013, 01:27:08 PM
Can anyone find a court worse than Oregon's?

I dig the Ohio State midcourt logo. Same idea as Texas A&M, but a more reasonable size.

Ours is really bad, objectively in the top 5 of the worst just on botching the stain color alone.

Sorry for the low BBCIQ, but why haven't we fixed the awful stain job on our court yet? Is this super expensive or something, or was this intentional?

Also, the powercat used to be way worse. It was this huge blob that wasn't even the right color. Still could be smaller, though.
Title: Re: Best/Worst Court Designs

The EMAW U court would be pretty great if the stain wasn't so contrasting.  Oregon's probably looks cool in the stadium, especially from the upper levels, but looks pretty bad on TV. 

Nothing can be worse than Colorado's court from the early 90's.

That is one of the worst logos in the history of logos. Right below the turquoise cursive "Cats" above a regular basketball that preceded it.

I looked for an image of that but was unsuccessful. I was going to nominate it for worst.

The NCAA tournament court logos should also get consideration for worst

One of my all time fav courts was from the 90s at Virginia.  I can't find a picture online, but the baseline and sidelines were black, or dark blue, and it had 3 thin white "pinstripes" that went all the way around the court.  I always like it and wanted to copy it.

i hate the 2 stain courts.

i always really loved the blue, state of kansas midcourt for KU during the 90's, but their current court is one of the top 5 worst ever.  the jayhawk is just an ugly rough ridin' logo.

i searched for a few minutes and couldn't find a picture of the old ku court though :(

The stain is probably a little dark, but ours is good. I appreciate that they included the octagon purple outline on the outside.
Title: Re: Best/Worst Court Designs
Post by: wabash909 on January 19, 2013, 08:07:17 AM
It's certainly an upgrade and the octagon was a nice attempt.  The biggest problem with the dark poopy color of stain is that it's visually too close to the color of the leather basketball and it's visually distracting.  As are the bush league gradient colored Brigg's logos.  It's also just a design thing, but filling the semi-circle at the top of the key with the stain also does not work. 

It's a bunch of little things that add up.  Again, good attempt, and it's much more on brand, but it could have been considerably better.

None taken, Not sure I completely understand the "consistent with the state of Oregon" comment. We do share the state begrudgingly with the rodents from Corvallis. The golf club I belong to has an annual golf tourney to determine which flag flies for the next 12 months, Ducks or Beavs. Can you imagine going to your golf club and seeing a KU flag all year!!!! The tourney format needs adjusting or the Beavs will always win. Black and Orange is just difficult to look at all year.

i actually kind of like ND's court  :sdeek:

Yeah, I think it might be my favorite college court right now. It's modern, yet classy. It may be the only the thing the Domers have ever done right.

Their black and green jerseys :love:

Loved them.

The game wasn't the only ugly thing on ESPNU Wednesday night:

(https://p.twimg.com/AxImULHCEAEPiB0.jpg)

The floor looked terrible, like it was made from reclaimed wood.

That stadium is just awful looking. Should hold rodeos and equestrian events and nothing else.

I hate round dome stadiums. First they're circular, Courts and fields are rectangular. Secondly, they just suck.

How on earth does the NCAA have the authority to do this?

K-State uses a giant Powercat to brand itself.  Mississippi State apparently uses a hashtag.  Where does the NCAA get the authority to regulate either of those?  If we decide we want to put the Easter Bunny at midfield, can the NCAA really tell us no?  If I'm MSU, I tell the NCAA to go eff itself.   :shakesfist:

Our hated rivals from Long Beach played at UC Santa Barbara last night. There aren't a lot of great images of that court online.

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Frushthecourt.net%2Fmag%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F11%2FIMG00198-20111130-2100.jpg&hash=a97eb302371b0f156e1b2a8ce121408ea0bc290a)

The font/kerning for "Welcome to the Thunderdome" is terrible. If you're wondering if the logo is a UFO or a hat, it's a hat. They're the Gaucho's, and that hat with the weird lines under it is the "magic hat" version of their logo.

Here's what else you learn when you go down the UCSB rabbit hole:
 
Quote
As Gaucho basketball evolved into a Big West power, the building in which it made its mark also evolved, emerging as one of the nationā€™s most feared venues.  Few arenas inspire fear. The Thunderdome is one of them.
 
Christened The Thunderdome, with a nod to the Mel Gibson film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, because of sheer volume of noise it produces, the home to UCSB basketball became a nightmare to visitors.  Opponents not only had to deal with great Gaucho teams, but they also had to handle a level of noise beyond what their imaginations could muster.
 
Itā€™s humble exterior belies the Thunderdomeā€™s inner beauty and power.  It has become more than an arena, itā€™s become legend.
http://ucsbgauchos.com/our_stories/Our_Stories_Videos/OS-The_Thunderdome

Quote
In the mid-1990s, Gaucho basketball fans became nationally notorious for chucking tortillas onto the court at televised games. The tortilla barrages often stopped play and resulted in technical foul calls against the Gauchos. Coaches could occasionally be seen begging the crowd to stop and even helping with cleanup. The practice peaked in February 1997 when the Gauchos took on University of the Pacific in a game that was televised on ESPN. The rowdy fans throughout the game threw tortillas where the Gauchos head coach was eventually ejected. While the athletics department prohibits tortilla chucking at basketball games, the tradition is celebrated today at soccer matches ā€“ only after goals ā€“ and never during play or directed at fans or opposing players (this act can lead to an ejection, penalty on the home team and a possible end of the tradition). The only after Gaucho goals tortillas tradition is part of a great game-day atmosphere.

Seems like among the tiger eye, the standard logo with the tiger head above "LSU", and this one (which is apparently the one from their football helmets), their branding is sloppy.

I think that court is ok. I wouldn't cover up the tiger's face with LSU, though.

Our hated rivals from Long Beach played at UC Santa Barbara last night. There aren't a lot of great images of that court online.

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Frushthecourt.net%2Fmag%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F11%2FIMG00198-20111130-2100.jpg&hash=a97eb302371b0f156e1b2a8ce121408ea0bc290a)

The font/kerning for "Welcome to the Thunderdome" is terrible. If you're wondering if the logo is a UFO or a hat, it's a hat. They're the Gaucho's, and that hat with the weird lines under it is the "magic hat" version of their logo.

Here's what else you learn when you go down the UCSB rabbit hole:
 
Quote
As Gaucho basketball evolved into a Big West power, the building in which it made its mark also evolved, emerging as one of the nationā€™s most feared venues.  Few arenas inspire fear. The Thunderdome is one of them.
 
Christened The Thunderdome, with a nod to the Mel Gibson film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, because of sheer volume of noise it produces, the home to UCSB basketball became a nightmare to visitors.  Opponents not only had to deal with great Gaucho teams, but they also had to handle a level of noise beyond what their imaginations could muster.
 
Itā€™s humble exterior belies the Thunderdomeā€™s inner beauty and power.  It has become more than an arena, itā€™s become legend.
http://ucsbgauchos.com/our_stories/Our_Stories_Videos/OS-The_Thunderdome

Quote
In the mid-1990s, Gaucho basketball fans became nationally notorious for chucking tortillas onto the court at televised games. The tortilla barrages often stopped play and resulted in technical foul calls against the Gauchos. Coaches could occasionally be seen begging the crowd to stop and even helping with cleanup. The practice peaked in February 1997 when the Gauchos took on University of the Pacific in a game that was televised on ESPN. The rowdy fans throughout the game threw tortillas where the Gauchos head coach was eventually ejected. While the athletics department prohibits tortilla chucking at basketball games, the tradition is celebrated today at soccer matches ā€“ only after goals ā€“ and never during play or directed at fans or opposing players (this act can lead to an ejection, penalty on the home team and a possible end of the tradition). The only after Gaucho goals tortillas tradition is part of a great game-day atmosphere.
http://www.ucsbgauchos.com/fan_zone/Locos/nickname

Their fans are pretty awful, rowdy, disgusting.  A girl I know was playing there for the Beach as a visitor (vball), and they put the bench right by the students.  This guy was calling this girl a whore and this and that so the girl turns around and spit and her spit went right into his mouth.   :ROFL:

I think that I agree with this wholeheartedly, as I cannot find an example in this thread that I like. However, if it's going to be done, I prefer the stain to be darker inside the arc than outside of if.

All the Pac-12 Cali schools are ridic when it comes to National Championships:

Stanford: 105
USC: 100
Cal: 34 (which is still a lot but crap)

They play a whole lot of sports that only a handful of other schools participate in, though.

Not disagreeing, not a lot of water polo playing and men's volleyball playing schools. But still, UCLA still has wins a national champ in something like every year

It's amazing. Cheesy a.f. but it really draws you in. It's got Shaq and Penny playing very prominent roles. I watched it in the theater in Hutch the night before we whipped newton's asses at substate basketball. It's on my list of movies that I'll immediately stop on and watch all the way through of I know it's on.
