Gotta say, this is pretty cool. They need to hype the hell out of it.
BASKETBALL Court getting new look...contest
- Thread starter MidTennMtneer
- Start date
If I had any degree of know-how to create a design I would. However, I think something incorporating lighting and maybe some Greek columns would be cool.
Awesome idea. This is the type of stuff they need to be doing more of.

I dread the results of this....
Yeah I’m not a designer but I would like to see the blue horseshoe used. I think it’s something that students take pride in and is underutilized.
I like a traditional court. I don't like all the designs and colors like FAU, Oregon, etc. all over the court.
I don't like graphics on the court like Oregon. I do like different wood colors. A bit more than we have now in the arc. Should definitely incorporate some school item(s) somehow. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
Please no. Anything I design I promise will NOT have that stupid thing.
If McPhee has any say the wording on the court will be in Chinese.
Like that damn mascot garbage and logo.
Question. Working on this (had to get my mind refocused after WVU losing by one point..grrr)
Who wants simple like we have, but updated, and who wants unique? Some out there are beyond ugly. Some are a bit different. FIU (leaves in corners), Notre Dame (shamrock in middle), and Northern Kentucky (norse across court).
I want it to look different than now, but not be ugly. LOL. I don't want my submission to fall in to the category above of being one of the "dreaded results" haha. Suggestions?

I love the idea & hopefully the powers-that-be will eliminate the ”worst designs.”
I want unique but not god awful. I would do something similar to the Edinburgh one here:
Designing the courts of the British Basketball League and others (Retro Night!)

Wow. Those are awesome. Suttle adds. Very creative artist posting. Thanks for the link.
Make sure CUSA logo is a temporary tattoo like material.
Also when I see the winged horse:

Like the plain MT with the lightening bolt. Surprised that someone didn’t use mtsu. Still cannot believe they carved that into the brick on all the new entrances onto campus. That looks terrible! So much for branding…..
McPhee strikes again. How much longer are we gonna have this clown?
Maybe the state with the three stars where the Boro is located
I actually did just that in one of my designs. I've tried to figure out a way to show the glass house on one too, an actual image so to speak, but it just hasn't looked right.
Looks like they are getting plenty of submissions, which is great. Well, not for me wanting to win, but for sure for the program. 😁
Whoever wins I hope they do the MT block lettering at mid court and I hope it’s ever so slightly off center to keep with tradition 😂
I know it is a design change but anyone still have their piece of the original floor of Murphy Center?
I can still hear that voice in my head when the game came on saying the game title. I was obsessed with that and Tecmo Bowl both.
That floor is ugly.
🤢 🤮Saw Memphis on TV yesterday. Floor looks good. Hopefully photo shows up.
the memphis floor made me think of what Boise St and Oregon did with their football fields. I'm fine with the Penn State approach, though. Plain and simple. Speaking of facilties, there's a local high school who IMO has better facilities than MT, but I do wonder what Bear Bryant would think about these schools getting all fancy with practice facilities? I wonder if The Bear would prefer his players train like Rocky Balboa trained to fight Ivan Drago...
I can see the beauty in Oregon’s floor and the flair in Boise’s Smurf turf.

Top one is my favorite so far.
I would like to see a Blue and Silver 1911 right smack dab in the center. Beautiful historical piece. Shares our University founding date too.
