RE: Kaplan Court
I think a sublimated Wren outline stretching across the court would be badass, something along these lines: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/mem/...1861.jpeg.
And I don't get the appeal of the cypher at center court. Maybe it could go in the baselines, but if you think Tribe is bad for branding, the cypher is even worse. Nobody who isn't familiar with the school is going to understand what it is.

RE: Kaplan Court
I don't know, but when I see the picture, showing that they've only stripped the one side of the court, it makes me think that the re-design is going to involve the addition of something along that sideline only, much like the skyline in the UW picture. It would suggest that the cursive Tribe and the Kaplan Arena logos will remain the same as they have been.
If they have stripped the rest of the floor, then I retract this theory.

Link doesn't seem to work for me. Not sure if it's just my computer or if something is up with it.

Possibility they are naming it Thompson Court as a result of Terry Thompson's $3.5 mill commitment??

Hm, doesn't work for me either.

How about a "sublimated" outline of nothing but feathers. When the NCAA notices, just say, that is just variation in the wood grain...nothing to see here.

RE: Kaplan Court
I had a hard time findng a good picture of Wren to use, but here's a concept I made using a sublimated cypher.

This does sound plausible; it is "Kaplan Arena" but the court could be named something else. W&M has already done this in the past with "Zable Stadium" at "Cary Field".
I am not really a fan of this approach , but, be that as it may...

Agree with you. $3.5 mil is $3.5 mil, but "Thompson Court at Kaplan Arena at W&M Hall" seems a bit over the top.
I understand that the floor will feature a new "design," so take that for whatever it's worth.

Only if it's sublimated.
