Voice your thoughts on the new design of the court surface at GIA.

I like the look of 8 but shrink the size of the OSU logo and maybe Pete's head. Is Eddies signature the same size? If so shrink it a little.

[Deepfork]

Why do I only get red X's?* How can I see the pics?

[altusbuldog]

I voted for #6, but with Pistol Pete having an orange hat and scarf.

I had trouble with the site all afternoon, too. I could never get more than three or four designs to appear any time I opened it.

[OSUFan]

It was between 2 and 3 for me. I voted for 2.

[Pokes4Life]

I wanted a combination of a few things. 2 was what I picked, but with suggested alterations.

[mt_goat]

I voted for #2, it looks great to me.

[BackHomePoke]

#8 got to love the natural wood, it wasn't meant to be painted solid. You've got to have Pete on there somewhere.

[MustangPokeFan]

#6

[cowboystover]

i voted for #6 i think the black on the outside of the court looks the best. I also like Eddie's john hancock still on the court.

[Jonno]

The three tone look of #8 gets my vote. The natural beauty of the maple floor in three shades. That's good stuff!

[wickerbill]

I would be happy with any of those. Much, much improved over the current design.

[Attila The Orange]

5 all the way

#6

They better not take off the Coach Sutton signature

I total agree with the natural look. That is the original white maple, don't paint over it! That's worse than painting over brick.

I don't think Pete is necessary, but it looks good. Is anyone else concerned with the number of options taking Eddie's signature off? It is like they now could be given a reason to sand it off.

I appreciate the University taking our thoughts into consideration!

[wickerbill]

I think it's just somebody at the university realizing how tacky the current court looks and that Eddie's signature is way too big right now.

[CaliforniaCowboy]

none of the above.

I almost prefer what we have now over those plain-o designs.

I with Cali on this one. Why is everyone afraid of livening up the court with some color? I am convinced it can be done in a tasteful manner without forsaking the tradition that some seem to be concerned with.

[wickerbill]

It looks cheap now. Between the awful faded orange to black lanes to the ridiculously sized Eddie Sutton Court logo. I like the classic look of most of the new designs much better. My worst nightmare in court design would be something like aTm has. I would take boring over tacky any day.

[Verb]

I like it fine the way it is. It's all just personal taste and nothing more. But I agree-nobody better mess with Eddie's signature. That'd be cause for a major uprising.

[legelegel]

Black lanes, black boarder and black 3 point lines and black fill between these lines

Pistol Pete head colored

Remove the Big XII logos from the lanes. Place one in front of the scorer's table in the black boarder. Just get it off the court.

If the signature is removed and EDDIE SUTTON COURT is placed under GALLAGHER - IBA ARENA then put a full size colored Pistol Pete on the free throw line facing the shooter. :)

The major change I would like see is just a Big Orange O at center court.

[topdaug]

I like design number 8...very classic look and I like the darker wood pattern around the outside...

[Boss 24]

Won't the flames ever die? Please?


8 looks best

[BigBadBen]

How about 7, with the black boundary & lanes, no flames on the mid court logo, but add pistol pete & the Eddie Sutton sig.

[GoPokes83]

#2 I like the printed Sutton name and the black surround on the natural floor.

After the awful gaudy signature that's on there now I don't feel the need need to see Eddies signature on the court anymore. It's not an American Express ad.

[TheLoveDoctor]

That's what I basically picked, black border with Eddie's sig and Pistol Pete and added the black lanes (no flames). Actually they all looked good I just like the sig and PP.

[OSU-DNA]

#2 but with a Pistol Pete

[BourbonPoke]

#6 or #8 with a colored in Pistol Pete.

[OSUDentist]

#7. No flames on the brand. No two tone wood. Pistol Pete Head colored. Eddie Sutton Signature rather than at top of court.

[legelegel]

I have never been a big fan of the signature on the floor. A plaque on the wall would be just fine for me.

Where's the name Art Griffith being recognized in this building? And where does the naming something end?

I think putting anyone's name on the court is a mistake when they are still coaching or even alive. I can think of four men that I would make an exception when it comes to putting their name on a Cowboy athletic facility.

I'm not so sure the name of the building needs to be on the floor either.
