Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
I’d like to see each side by side. Does’t seem that different to me from what I could tell on the video. Is it a totally new floor or just the design?

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
They ship it out to get stripped and rebranded. I think the court is only 5-6 years old. A brand new court is almost 100kKeaneyBluBallz wrote: ↑1 year ago so it this a whole NEW FLOOR or is the old floor sent out, stripped and repainted/finished and shipped back?

The current floor is at least 8 or 9 years old.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
Any guesses, preferences on the uni’s as to color, design?
Dark blue with Keaney blue lettering, numbers and trim would be pretty sharp. Also, no cumber bun.

Our new font lettering that matches the floor is a must and I assume a given

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
I like the other floor a bit better, though not significantly. I think the different shading inside the 3 point arc - was a nice touch.
If the floor is going to be updated, I would have liked an image or a shading of the state imbedded somehow, like UMass does.

This has been an ongoing issue for me, I really think we need to use state imagery more as part of our brand to enforce that we're the state flagshipsteviep123 wrote: ↑1 year ago I like the other floor a bit better, though not significantly.

I wonder if the color commentary on our streaming product will still be used as an internship? Nothing screams big time quite like that.

I'm also going to go on record that i do not like the new court.
Aside from the logo it's freaking Penn States color scheme. Doesn't even match really because there's keaney in the logo. Hate it.

What do you mean huh? They don't even use keaney to accent the lettering. Just plain navy everywhere but half of the interlocking RI. So most of it is like navy and white Penn State.
It seems like we keep using keaney less and less and I dont like it. Primarily using navy is so basic and lame. Watch I bet we will have road jerseys that are navy with white lettering this year.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
We've never done that for basketball. It's usually navy with keaney letters. In 2015-16 we had them with white letters but with a keaney accent on the numbers and they were terrible.theblueram wrote: ↑1 year agoI hope we do.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
I like the design of the new court
There isn’t much to not like about it
They didn’t stray too far and kept the interlocking RI
I prefer the navy blue vs the royal blue on the prior court
And the Rhody font makes it more legit
Honestly tho - let’s see how it looks once placed to really access how it looks
I am optimistic
And I hope they used water based finish this time and smartened up

I don’t think you can legally have exclusivity with a color. You can with a logo or slogan.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
I cannot wait for this season!! I think the reason that the floor doesn't feature as much Keaney Blue is that it's "technically" not an official school color. It's used solely in Athletics.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
Chiming in late. Love it or not, it's great to have a new court for this new beginning for the program. Just another piece to add to the excitement. I like the traditional look. Some of the newer gimmicky court designs out there, are awful in my opinion. This is a nice upgrade!

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
I guess the floor no longer has a corporate sponsor based on that new photo. In years past it had names on it such as CVS, Cox, Alex & Ani, and South County Health. Would have thought they had to pay for affixing their names. Hope this revenue is being made up elsewhere.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
That could still easily be added after the fact. It's usually something thats just added to the court and wouldn't require it to be part of the refinishing or anything like that. I have no idea if it will be, but it's an easy add if needed.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
That looks pretty different than the rendering right? Different blue and different font? I think they snuck in Kearny blue on the letters.

Re: New Ryan Center Basketball Floor
Everything looks a little brighter when looking at the new court as compared to the rendering, even the Keaney Blue in the RI logo at center court. Could just be lighting/difference in materials though. Also I noticed in the rendering that South Coast Health was still on the court, so I'd expect that to be added later. I can't tell if they added Keaney to the letters or if that's a trick our eyes are seeing because of the outline they used, I'm thinking it's the latter
