They completely left off the outer banks. That would be like ODU leaving off the piece of Va that is just to the north of them.
They sure did:
Oh and that little piece is called the Eastern Shore.
That's today after they changed it.
Here's their court from the 1970's- till the introduction of the 3 point line.
And another image from just before they changed it 2010, the 100th year of UNC basketball logo,
Oh, and I'm from Eastern North Carolina it's the Outer Banks,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Banks
I was born and raised in ENC, don't try to tell me about our history or what places are called.
So much fail in one post. Firstly, I was agreeing with you. That's why I posted the photo that doesn't have a legit shape of NC. Secondly, I was referring to that little part you referred to in Virginia we call the Eastern Shore. Lastly, do you really think someone living in Norfolk wouldn't know the difference between the Outer Banks and the Eastern Shore?
In 2010 they did change it look like how the state actually looks, but it was too close to our logo, which had already been registered. Even though UNC had used the shape of the state for year (yes, inaccurately) they had never registered it as logo. We beat them to the punch. So they changed it to a basic out line.
Sorry, didn't realize you were talking about Va's eastern shore.

RE: New ODU Basketball floor.
I haven't once complained about the new announcement (because I assume it's a done deal) but this one from Oldtimer is SOLID. I think it brands the university very well.
Perhaps if Blaine had that one, he wouldn't have had to have Old Dominion Monarchs all printed on the front of the jerseys a few years back.

Much better than the OP in my opinion, however you still need OLD DOMINION on one side for the poorly educated.

RE: New ODU Basketball floor.
I liked the second one better but the lion has to be moved a little to the left as it's not balanced. Maybe place him in the left side with him leaning on the state like saying, "this is my state". Put the whole lion on the left and leaning on it with his legs crossed "hoodlum like".

Please don't look down on ODU for the choice of fonts. It's a fan design.

This was really my only complaint with my floor design. If I simply flip the lion horizontally and switch his arm and head, it'll be much more balanced.
Edit: Fixed it.

In my artistic opinion, as an IT major, "pissing" should be yellow.

Yes, but pissing is universal. Unless you're USM or ECU, you're not pissing your colors. If you are, I recommend that you seek immediate medical attention.
