Milwaukee Bucks unveil new basketball court design (photo)

The Milwaukee Bucks changed around their roster quite dramatically this offseason and are doing the same to their floor with an updated, though, retro look.

A few years after installing a new basketball court, they’re doing so again, this time with a highly unique design – but one that you may remember, depending on your age.

During the Bucks’ glory years in the 1980’s, they played a court very similar to the new design, so to pay homage to their success, the Bucks asked famed artist Robert Indiana to help assist.

Per Bucks.com:

"…pop artist famous for his “LOVE” artwork, Indiana created the design for the Bucks court that was used at the MECCA Arena from 1977-87. Indiana’s original floor, with bright colors and a giant “M” flanking each side of the midcourt line, is recognized as one of the largest pieces of pop art ever produced and brought international recognition to Milwaukee as a progressive, forward-thinking city that appreciates art as much as it does sport.The Bucks’ brand new home court at the BMO Harris Bradley Center takes inspiration from Indiana’s original pop art design, reproducing the world-famous “M’s” bracketing the midcourt line – this time in two shades of hand-stained Wisconsin hard maple – along with the simple, yet unmistakable “Milwaukee” adorning each baseline, just as in Indiana’s iconic work of original art. At center court is the Bucks logo, stripped down to the aggressive image of the eight-point white tail buck head that represents the powerful and focused approach of the team. Painted surfaces of the court are almost exclusively green, tying together all eras of the Bucks’ 46-year history."

In addition to the new look, the court also features some technology improves that will supposedly assist in players staying healthier and better shock absorption.

What do you think FanSided? You like the new look? Or should the Bucks have stayed with their previous design?
