It irks me for no reason really that the Wildcats dont at least just wrap the outside of the whole court with red.

Someone said its because they sell the baseline as advertising space, well have the advertising as a bumper sticker with different background colour like on the jerseys then.

So, yes please! I think you can still accommodate the sponsors and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing court design. Your mock ups are definitely the right idea.

Yeah that's gotta be on the agenda in the future if the NBL wants to be taken seriously.

Setting standards and guidelines for clubs to follow like the NBA does.

That whole NSEC dark floor thing is just bad.

The NSEC floor is what it is (given the community arena status) - I just wish at some point in the last 10 years they could've re-done the court.

Surely its not that hard to change it.. Breakers owners are Millionaires who can chip in and even a crappy local rec centre has better flooring.

I love how the Wildcats logo looks formidable on the floor as your dribbling your way up the court, sadly that forthright isn't being applied and nor is flipping the logo and having it under each basket.

Well done on the designs, feels so much more professional and thought out than the crap we had last season

so much more professional and thought out

It'd be good to get confirmation from any team or NBL rep in here once in awhile if they do read..

The NBL specifies what areas on the court can be used for club branding, club sponsors and what needs to be left for league sponsors.

When I put these together I basically worked under the assumption the NBL had become reasonable and decided to have its logo elsewhere (because otherwise the whole exercise is pointless), but outside of that all logos from last season are in exactly the same place, at exactly the same size, as reality. I've just changed what's around them.

Minor alteration to the Breakers design:

Updated Perth's:

It looks nice, but the key could probably do with a bit of red

Well, looks like the NBL is keeping the centre circle to themselves again.

Brisbane have different colours in each keyway, as well, which never looks good.

They have the money for two of their own decals, but they're stuck near the sidelines because of the NBL promotion in the middle of the floor. It should be the other way around.

Team branding as a whole, really. Logos aren't a huge issue for most teams, but jersey and court designs are severely lacking.

Unfortunately, the league is actually a part of the problem when it comes to courts, taking the centre circle away from teams and mandating non-matching keyways in clubs without keyway sponsors, so I'm not sure we should hope that they'll ever solve it.

So the Breakers just posted a photo from the stadium tonight...with a bloody Europcar-sponsored keyway, same as Sydney and Brisbane had. Despite the Breakers having had Skycity in the keyways in past years, and Skycity still being a sponsor.

The Wildcats posted a photo earlier in the week of training from the arena, keyways were empty and the alcoholthinkagain decals had been moved to the baseline.

I think it's safe to conclude now that the NBL has taken over the keyways as well as the centre circle, and is now mandating non-matching keyways while further marginalising team sponsorship opportunities.

Garbage.

Companies were already paying for those spots, without insisting each keyway be its own color. Now teams have to find somewhere else to put those logos, which those sponsors probably aren't too happy about that.

And it looks absolutely awful.
