Northwestern's New Floor

[hawkstats1979]

Check out Northwestern's proposed floor. Like Oregon's but uglier.

That all purple floor is so ugly I almost hope they go with that on.

 

[HawkForce]

The Purple one is HIDEOUS....but maybe I am in the minority but I really don't mind Oregon's?

 

[Palpatine]

Northwestern could use a gimmick. I like it.

 

[PalmettoHawkFan]

wow. it's like purple took a big **** all over their floor.

 

[troy]

terrible!

WHY? Ugh. Some people just don't understand that less is more.. But oh well, it's their floor, not ours.

I guess I don't see what's wrong with their current design, but if they want to add more color, I could see adding some around the sidelines and maybe the 3 second lane, but I hate when they fill in everything inside the 3-point arc with solid color.. much less the entire court.

 

[CAARHawk]

Do it ! It will make it look like a Jr high cafeteria/gym.

Option #1 is clearly the "best" option of those.

 

[hawkdrummer1]

The NCAA allowing Boise St to continue with the blue field was a big mistake. It opens the door to more and more of this stuff, particularly if corporate sponsors offer big $$ to get involved.

 

[CAARHawk]

The "Chicago's Big Ten Team" comes off as pretty desperate. If you have to claim it, you don't have it.

Seriously, it's like the Cyclone State billboard.

 

[FalseMirage]

No big deal, it's just the basement floor.

 

[storminspank]

I figured they'd rename it to Michael Jensen Court after the only shot he hit in his career.

If I had to choose one I would go with option 4.

They need to avoid the "Chicago's Big Ten Team" mantra.. if you have to say it, it isn't true.

No matter how hard they try and convince us..

Too late, they have billboards in place.

 

[DwayneTwill]

I'd be shocked if they went with that P.O.S..

 

[Hawknigh]

Ugh! That is hideous. Why do they let them have such freedom with the floors? I could see someone getting confused by all the superfluous color and lines on the floor, particularly at halfcourt for Northwestern and the sidelines for Oregon.
