I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person.

I hope the court is 94' x 50' and has a basket on each end. 03-old

If somebody wanted to post the entire floor, I wouldn't even care now.

After that preview, I am sufficiently disappointed.

I hate that UAB lettering that is used, I've never liked it..the little flame swirls or whatever in the letters is lame.

The lack of dragon at center court is depressing.

Didn't we get ranked on some list for best court logo recently?

I have seen the floor, and I love it. I am not a huge fan of the UAB with the "flame" squiggles, but I am told that is an official font. I am blown away by the giant blaze heads on either end. I also like Birmingham being used on the side line. Looks better in person imo.

I like it and that font is much better without the squiggles.

As long as the other end doesn't say Alabama, I like that.

One end says UAB the other end Blazers
The Birmingham is on the scorer's table side and the other sideline has Blazers

At first look, I prefer the dragon at mid court. But as long as the dragon head on either end is very easy to see, I like it

I do not think you will be disappointed. I could be wrong.

Someone should have leaked a photoshopped version that has "Alabama-Birmingham stretched from free throw line to free throw line and watched everyone's head explode while Blazer85 talked about how great it looked and everyone likes to complain.

I like what I see so far.

You can't do the watermark dragons (which I think is cool) if you leave the big dragon in the middle. I have a feeling that pretty soon Coach Haase is going to give us way more to talk about than the floor.

I think removing the dragon head from the middle was a BAD decision from branding stand point. I also dislike the "flame font". But that's just me.
