New court design unveiled.

[Jojimbo]

I think I expected a bit more but it's very clean and I do like it.

I like it.

The only thing that's a bit awkward is the Golden 1 logo, which stands out in yellow. Maybe in the future they'll consider changing that to purple (just for the court, not in the rest of their "real-life" advertising) to be a bit less of a sore thumb.

Golden 1 Credit Union just needs to update their logo too. That font is hideous and dated. We have a modern, updated court and logo, then I'm just reminded of graham crackers when I see their logo.

But I'm probably overreacting and I'll get used to it.

I just dont like the color scheme, my colors are slightly off, is that gray? I dont like the color strip on the side of the jerserys, or the color of the basketball on the court. Im so happy they changed the logo though.

 

[Bricklayer]

Never thought much of that logo in the bad ole days, my opinion has not changed. Should have used the lion, at least that would have had snap. Be nice if that was not the shade of purple either. That's just...yawn purple. Flat purple. Not dark, or royal, or bright, its clipart purple. Hopefully it looks different on the floor.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

Would the center court logo would look better or worse with a white outline/fill between? This is a customized court in NBA 2k16.

I agree. The lion should be placed where Arco had those SK secondary logos.

 

[ApolloDaGod]

The white outline helps. I just wish they had a polled the city of Sacramento on different design options.

I don't really mind the half court logo. I definitely don't like the Golden 1 logo in yellow with everything else being Kings colors. It doesn't fit at all. They should definitely look into putting that in Kings colors just for the court.

 

[Dime Dropper]

Honestly that is about the most "meh" and safe design they could have gone for, I'm a little disappointed. Hopefully it looks better when it's done, because that is very plain and underwhelming.

 

[ArcoKings]

I don't know. I like the logo a lot and the font used for "sacramento.' I never liked purple for the main color for any sports team but it is what it is. I can live with it.

The Golden 1 Credit Union logo needs an update but understandably they will not change their logo company wide because of an NBA arena floor.

I think alot of people would be happy with just a color change from yellow to something that matches anything else on the court. There's no need for a company wide change, just something to not look hideous on the court.

 

[chasen4r1]

My reaction at first was just "meh." But i think that's because I wanted the Lion's head logo so badly.

All in all, i can't complain because it's very clean, and i actually like that the logo is transparent rather than using white. Room for improvement, but certainly not bad.

The problem there is that I am sure the "golden" Golden1 is a major part of their logo's schtick/what makes it original. Kind of like asking Johnny Walker Black Label to instead use a purple label in their advertising.

I would also imagine that however much Golden1 paid for those rights, it paid for with the idea of its advertisng logo precisely jumping/standing out.

 

[ApolloDaGod]

the colors all do technically
match though "golden one and kings"

Stop being logical.

 

[Suicide King]

I also really hoped for the lion's head center court but if they can win more than 33 games I'll be happy.

 

[The Hammer]

I like it. Keep it clean.

 

[TheJewishKing]

Love the new court design, pretty clean and simplistic, I think that the yellow golden logo is adding a bit of a color to the court so it is fine by me.

I hope that the new Kings arena will inspire hope of new beginnings for the Kings squad.

 

[twslam07]

I agree. The lion should be placed where Arco had those SK secondary logos.

It at least would give boogie a sense of where he's exactly at on the court when he's in the post on the left side. Believe it or not, little landmarks like the elbow (or even the 3pt line) gives players a sense of how far they need to shoot. Let's help the big fella out!

 

[Npliam]

Meh....

 

[Kingster]

Is it my computer or is that court kind of a bleached rose color?

 

[SacTownKid]

I'll reserve judgement until I see it with the finish on it.

 

[jcassio]

I would also prefer the logo (and other marketing collateral) to lean more toward the Lion theme and less toward the incestuous monarch theme.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

I'm not entirely in love with this shade of purple, but it's not a bad design. I'm sure the actual court will look much better in person than this picture.

 

[Chupacabra]

Arco's court design was better.

 

[ApolloDaGod]

i hope they add the white outline on the central logo

 

[SLAB]

Much like the main non-alternate uniforms, I'm initially unimpressed and just bored by it. Not new. Not "exciting". Just safe and boring.

Maybe it'll look better in action. And who cares, as long as decent basketball is played on it.

The last time they redesigned the court I hated it in drawing form and I don't really like this version. When I saw it on the court however I thought it looked pretty good so I'm hoping for the same here. To be honest though they could play on a dirt court for all I care if it meant they were a good team.
