Ugly, but could have been uglier...

That would hurt my eyes to watch a game on it.

That's nasty, but boise state's FB field is still uglier.

If you have to keep saying "Chicago's Big Ten Team".. you probably aren't.. #NotSayingJustSaying

Anyone know why the N at mid court is a different purple (almost blue) as compared to the rest of the court?

The N actually looks like the right color.

The rest of the floor looks like poorly applied water colors.

Well which ever color is the right color it looks really stupid with two different shades of the same color.

Almost like lavender colored fake granite.

How in the world are we going to be able to spot the NW players? The entire floor is white.

Never was a fan of completely filling in everything with color inside the 3-point arc.. Even though the lane isn't purple.. Just too much color. Less is more..

But I agree with the other poster who said the new purple looks more like water color. Or like someone colored it in with a big purple crayon. It looks odd.

Boy, for an "elite private university with really super-smart kids, mostly Asian", they sure don't have much common sense, do they.

3 shades, if you count the banners.

definitely not in favor of courts that are painted inside the 3 pt line. yikes. i vote really ugly.

The N is opaque (meaning it is paint that does not show the wood grain) while inside the 3 pt arc is translucent stain that highlights the wood grain. Think of a curly maple guitar top like a Paul Reed Smith or a Les Paul. I'll bet close up & in person the 3D look of the stain looks better than the opaque N.

They should have stuck to just one though.

Can't get over all the non-gym sport banners they have hanging there.

Really ugly gets my vote. jNW is my most hated basketball team, followed closely by the Bucking Fadgers. I really hope jNW's NCAA tournament streak continues.

No kidding. As ugly as it may be, at least they haven't sold out.
