The Los Angeles Clippers‘ re-branding took another step on Saturday.

After owner and madman Steve Ballmer introduced a questionable new logo earlier in the offseason, the Clippers unveiled an accompanying revamped court deign.

The overhauled court features the new logo, which was met with generally negative reviews upon its unveiling. As thousands on Twitter have pointed out, the font on it is a little too reminiscent of EA Sports.

However, this court does have the potential to look sharp in live action. In particular, the black sidelines help the court at least look somewhat modern. The curved blue lines to represent the ocean horizon will also be a helpful reminder that the team is named after ships.

Ballmer had a reason for every specific on the court, via Melissa Rohlin of the Los Angeles Times. 

"“You get the nautical theme, the ocean, harkening back to the Clippers and where we came from. You have silver around every one of the letters, the silver lining in the Clipper cloud as we look to tomorrow and the bright future that we hold. And we put black in as another color because I think most people think black is a hip, modern color.”"

It’s impossible to tell how the court will look in action just yet, but this appears to be the best the team could do given the terrible logo.
