j.r. must have money burning a hole in his pocket

like getting rid of the basketball and making logo bigger, but the rest seems pretty pointless

did they make the wood lighter in tone? That's gonna take some getting used to. I liked the shade it was

yeah, looks more plain vanilla now. maybe in changing the logo they had to replace the whole court so they figured they might as well make some minor changes while they were at it

Its too pale. The old wood had a warmer feeling

Yup, and I liked the blood red color too. This new one looks like the Raptors court.

We will have to see what it looks like when it in person. The picture could make it look different.

I like the new streamlined and cleaner look of the court. It looks crisp and fresh - I approve.

They needed to brighten things up. In the past, it always appeared dark, like weak lightbulbs in that place. Hopefully this helps. Like, I hated LED lights on cars at first. Now I can't imagine why I did, because the old bulbs were dreary.

I think the new center court logo is much better. The lettering on the side is probably a bit better. Everything else is worse. That said, the center logo might make up for everything else being worse all by itself, since the old center logo was terrible.

Like the white marks on the side a lot more than the black, also agree with most others that the wood color was better before.

I like this as well... but only because they added the 4 six-pointed stars from the Chicago flag. Gives it more of a meaningful Chicago feel.

Ehh... I won't even notice after a season. If they really wanted to spice it up, they'd put Bulls in both lanes and/or use the horns as the three point line

Something like this would be cool

Good god if the Bulls adopted that script alternate in the middle it would immediately become the best jersey in the NBA.

Everything is better except for the lighter wood grain.

Meet new court design, same as old court design. Doesn't really matter to me. Just as long as it's not as ugly as Oregon court.

Wood color is a definite downgrade. The original always struck me as having a great balance with the court lighting in the UC, which created a real vivid picture for televised games. The new floor just looks washed out and flat, though you can't make out much detail from the image provided.

I loved the basketball behind the Bull but that's not a deal breaker for me to dislike this new court, I can understand getting rid of it. BUUUUUUUUUT what is a deal breaker is the rest of the design, the floor looks hideous with this new color. And the white accent on the free throw paint was beautiful, this new black accent looks like some kind of Toronto Raptors or Houston Rockets kind of ****. The red three point line was nice too, but now it's black......

Someone said they should get rid of the 4 bulls and only have 2? Good god no, that would be awful. The symmetry of the 4 bulls is great, don't mess with that.

maybe it will squeeze us out a couple more home wins

I think it's an overall upgrade. I always felt like the basketball logo just looked odd. I want a more serious/classic look for our stadium. I think this is inching in that direction. I need to see what the wood actually looks like in person. I could see it looking great in the game, but I agree that it looks a bit cold in this picture.

I wasn't a fan of the basketball in the middle. The new center logo looks better to me.

Seems to me that one of the "United Center"s should be inverted. Why have them both oriented the same way?
