New Raptors Court Design

[Asif16]

I really like the Raptor Claw, but my favorites this year are the Bucks & Timberwolves court designs.

Lol bucks and timberwolves?? I personally think those are beyond ugly. Buts your opinion so i respect that.

For me personally, i like bright arenas and a court that complements the bright arena.

So for me,

Warriors
Blazers
Celtics
Raptors

Are my favorites

Trailblazers court basically. If we could get showtime lighting like LA/NYK/BKN it would be nice.

Meh. I may be in the minority here, but i actually like lit arenas. I dont like the dark mellow lighting they have in Brooklyn, LA, New York, etc...

Infact, i find the brroklyn arena very blah and boring.

I like bright arenas like ours and Golden States who actually shows the crowds. I think its much better on Tv, especially in the playoffs.

I agree I hate the dark arenas...

It's a rip off of LA and NY...

And dark mellow lighting might be nice for plays, operas, funerals etc. but I don't want it at
a sporting event. The ACC has one of the best atmospheres in the NBA no need to change it.

Yup. Annd this is another thing. We have one of the best fans with one of the best (if not THE BEST) atmosphere in the NBA, well wouldnt you guys want to showcase that?

Dim/dark lighting takes the fans out of the game. It makes it look empty. Wouldnt you guys wanna be able to actually see the "sea of red"? lol

I like the bright arena. Lets leave it that.

What was the old design for reference?

Ok so the court itself hasn't changed, but the baselines are a big improvement.

Im gonna need to see this in real-time. Don't see anything too noteworthy

I've never liked how the paint was a solid red. Its like an ongoing trend around the league to do that. Looks ugly IMO.

I still think that this was the best court we've ever had.

I wish they'd go back to black and purple with red/white accents.

yeah a 7 point lead with 26 seconds and then Vince ties it up and obliterates us in triple OT

I'd prefer the black to be red and the writing be white. It would actually match, but whatever.

[LittleOzzy]

With the pictures above it's crazy to see how much the red has changed from last year to this.

I'm also not sure I like the centre circle now. I prefer what it looked like in 2008 to 11 as all red.

Bring back the 3D thing, damn it! I loved hearing commentators talk about how unsafe it was to put a sign there

the stupidest thing about those comments is that they're actually at the games… can they not see that it's just an illusion?

i think the grey claw in the middle compliments the grey font along the sides… therefore, i go with option b.

[booyah_child]

1999 was an awesome court. It also really screams NIKE though

[Young_Buc]

1999 and the court before that BY FAR.

Red is so blah. I'd welcome black and gold over it.

[GooniesNeverDie]

yep i agree.. 99 is the best.. followed by the new one imo

....Why is it 'We The North'. Isn't it supposed to be ..."We're The North"?

You should probably go outside more, socialize.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

The Kings going all purple on us.

The homie Vivek comes through once again.
