I like the different tone of the 2-pt area ... hope that's permanent.

I also hope they're working on fixing that roof. Too bad that Italian tile guy died.

Im not a big fan of the two tone courts but i cant wait to see it when its done.

Time Lapse video of the logo changeover on the new Cal court. I'm hoping that faded blue they are laying down is not how the logo will look as an end product. I'd much rather have it be fully polished vs. the one tone logo cal has at center court. I do like the size of it though. I love how big logos look at mid court like they Jayhawk at Allen.

Good memory, tykurez. Enzo Patoni was a great guy and tile maker.

His tiles are still being made but to import them from Caltagirone would be expensive.

If that faded UNC powder blue is the final color we better hide it from HFD, he'll burst a vein.

Nice... hope this means the logo goes on the field at the Rent soon too (and the logo behind the boxes gets replaced).

Love it!

In the Cal vid, you can see its a sticker (outline). Painted after to our color.
Dan will be fine

Am I the only one who loves the new logo more and more everyday? Check out my background on my new iPhone

I am with you. I liked it when it was released and am liking it the more I get used to it as well. It was a good move by the school and a job well done by Nike.

New logo is growing on me. At first i couldn't have been more against it but i'm slowly digging it. Judging by the dark blue sidelines the logo will be darkened as well....if not HFD will darken it for us

The logo behind the boxes is the Oak Leaf. If there was no Husky there before, I doubt they will put a wolf there now:

Ah. My memory is wrong. I know there is the old Husky logo on the back of the scoreboard, I misremembered it also being where the Oak Leaf is.

So... maybe they'll change the font?

it's been two toned in Hartford for the last couple years, just not as noticeable as in this picture..

In the XL Center the 2-point area is lighter than the rest of the court which is the opposite of these Gampel pics. Also the contrast isn't as great in the XL Center.

Is it too late to make a stencil that says "Calhoun Court" and sneak it on there somehow?

 

[rs2905]

Looks like it's almost done. Love it.

So much nicer than Cal's... why did they go with a faded mono-tone logo? I was worried that we were going that route too.

Not sure how i feel about the contrast. Well anything is better than parquet floor

 

[CL82]

You know...I like it but it still doesn't seem like home. Ah well, that will come.

(It looks like they may be putting UCONN underneath. That will help.)

Uh, shouldn't the "UConn Huskies" letters face the audience and the TV camera?

They will likely put the same lettering on both sidelines. Not uncommon at all.

The near side, under the logo, should have the lettering facing in the same direction as the logo, since that will be the TV camera side. They should flip it on the other side.
