New Cleveland Cavaliers court will feature city skyline

A lot has changed for the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason. The team got back local hero-turned-villian-turned-prodigal-son LeBron James, acquired Kevin Love and with the two comes plenty of increased media attention. When teams turn a corner on the court (or are expected to do so), executives tend to want to change the appearance of the team with it.

We see this all the time. NFL teams update uniforms (The Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks, who both recently drafted quarterbacks and hired new coaches, underwent the most radical uniform changes with the league’s new partnership with Nike), and so do NBA teams (The Warriors changing, basically, everything).

Now it’s time for Cleveland. Except they already switched their uniforms when LeBron left and they drafted Kyrie Irving (in order to move on from James, you must also change your jersey, evidently).

So what can they do? Change the court, of course!

Comlex Sports tweeted a picture of the new design, which features the city skyline of Cleveland.

I’ll wait to say this is an absolute truth until the official word comes from the Cavs, given that this picture is from someone’s computer. But if it is true, I don’t think I like it. First of all, I’m never in favor of a singular graphic oriented for half of the audience. To the fans on the other side of the skyline, it will just look like an upside-down city.

I’m also not a fan of two-tone wood colors. It looks busy on TV. Just pick a wood stain and move on, Cleveland! I do, however, like the red and blue paint here. The red pops but the blue keeps things grounded, unlike Houston’s red-over-transparency design.

What do you think about the design? Sound off in the comments section below.
