Oregon's isn't a whole lot better, but it is better.

When it comes to court graphics.....less is more IMHO.

RE: U-la-la has a hideous court
I like the court graphics.
The keys in my opinion.
1. Has to be something that resonates in a positive manner with the home team fans
2. Needs to have sufficient contrast and definition that the viewer seeing it for the first time can understand what it is.
3. Needs to be something the first time unaffiliated viewer can understand even if they don't understand the full significance.

The clips I've seen, the Cajundome court doesn't score well in category 2 but I think does well in #3 once you figure out what it is.

Maybe we should have a thread about potential non-obvious court designs for each school in the SB.

lol. When I first saw it I thought it was some half finished restoration project. It looked horrible. Then after I found out what it was supposed to be, I was able to refocus and easily see it. lol...I felt pretty dumb. Its a little like those 3-D posters that were popular a decade or so ago where you had to stare at the picture and after you got your eyes set to just the right focal length a 3D image would pop out of the picture.

So your numbers 2 and 3 above really hit the point. It needs to be easily understandable to a first time viewer.

That said, its easy for a city school to do something like a city skyline. The court graphics concept may not always work as well for more rural schools. At any rate, like Tom said above, the "less is more" philosophy appears to be very much in play when it comes to court graphics.

Got one I think this might actually be an actual design they came up with for Appalachian State.

Can you see this? Once you do, you can't unsee it.

It's just an optical illusion that has made its rounds on the internet. What do you see?

Knowing ULL's general disdain with Sun Belt, I think they came up with the design just to make it almost impossible to see the Sun Belt logo! Just kidding
