GW released a mockup of what their new floor is going to look like. Pretty sharp and clean. Here's the accompanying Washington Post story on the release. As the article says, will be interesting to see what the NCAA does regarding the hashtag on the court, which has been a no-no so far in football.  |

It looks pretty nice and not obnoxious like the floor at Oregon. What could we do? Tom Gola’s face on the hardwood of the court named for him  ? |

I'm with you guys.. New China, Sid Bookers Shrimp Shack, and Cold Beer would be spot on.
But would be neat if they did something with the 20th and Olney moniker, especially after the "20th & Olney Versus the World" thing took off when we went dancing. All wishful thinking... Hell, I'd be thrilled with G's angry face on the court.
Side note, has anyone ever actually stopped at the smoked ribs place?!

It does seem like the trend now is towards more understated courts, so I would guess any new court design (which ain't coming any time soon and isn't a big priority anyway) would have some more muted colors than the blue border and yellow paint in the key. It's not gold by the way, it's yellow. I don't get sports team's insistence on calling yellow gold.

It's not gold by the way, it's yellow. I don't get sports team's insistence on calling yellow gold. Know in designing hockey goalie equipment, the La Salle shade of yellow is commonly called sport gold versus the standard yellow. Don't know if the origin of gold came from something that basic, or it had something to do with La Salle College HS's traditional gold? Guess going with gold sounds alot better than whatever Crayola would prefer though. "I hope the Explorers wear their Goldenrod jerseys for Big 5 games this year." |

It's a totally minor thing I know, and it's not specific to La Salle, but to me, the New Orleans Saints wear gold. Teams like the Steelers wear yellow.
But that's so far from the point of this thread, and I'll stop hi-jacking it for my own sports colors agenda.

Lisa Simpson: I'd like 25 copies on Goldenrod.
Clerk: Right.
Lisa: 25 on Canary.
Clerk: Mmhmm.
Lisa: 25 on Saffron.
Clerk: All right.
Lisa: And 25 on Paella.
Clerk: Ok, 100 yellow.
