    I know a few Duck fans who hate it. But I really like it.

    I like the concept but I have trouble seeing the lines. Maybe it's better live than on TV.

    No shit. I want my money back. Of course back then, if I remember correctly it was only about $500 a quarter....

    They re-did the lines. You can see them now even on TV. I watched their game tonight.

    Completely off-topic, but how about Joseph Young? He reminds me a bit of Lillard in both size and attitude, although Young doesn't seem to have PG skills.

    Still, he's a very good collegiate scorer. 3 games as a Duck, 3 games with 20+, and averaging over 26ppg.

    That's not bad at all. I wonder how it would look with the keys painted red, along with the sidelines.

    I actually think that would look pretty cool with Blazer colors. Maybe red in the paint and black boundaries like they have.

    Yeah I don't know how he would do in the NBA, but he sure is a surprise. I hope he sticks around 2 years. He is really good.

    Did yo watch the ASU game tonight? Damn their PG (Carson?) is something else. Pac 12 is loaded this year. At least 5 good teams. maybe more.

    I like it, but the key looks like a dick. Just saying.

    The red/white would pop like crazy off this court. This angle shows just how unique a black stain would look.

    BTW, I'm pretty stoked about the approach Mr. Hankins is taking to getting fanbase feedback. He seems to get it. :clap:

    Speaking of fonts....

    Remember when Puerto Rico used the Blazer uni layout as a template? A creative use for the stripe design:

    didn't Sebastian Telfairs high school (after the team drafted him) use Blazer inspired uniforms?

    I see a lot like the idea of bringing back the vertical lettering.

    I'd like a modern interpretation of that layout, and I think this stripe design would work (with the lettering on the opposite side):

    While the success of the organization will always hinge in large part on the the performance of the team itself, the goal of most of the changes has been to ensure that, even in the lean times, there’s still a sense that The Rose Garden is the place to be on game nights.

    Failed philosophy. Nobody will pay to watch a losing team, no matter how pretty the unis are. If they're winning and seriously contending they could wear gunny sacks and still sell out The Rose Garden.

    Every single change to the logo has been inferior to the original.

    If they want to market to someone, they should focus their marketing on attracting super-star free agents.
