It's the arena's logo.

Observations on Oregon Court
- It's probably not as busy graphically when on the court vs the sky box view
- Many of the lines are green on brown. I don't think that's the best color combination for picking up close OOB calls.
- The white on white three point arc looks to be difficult to pick up
- I'd say the artist created what was intended, but at the end of the day did they create the best floor on which to actually contest a basketball game? I'd say no.

You Can't See The Forest Through The Trees ...
Love the effect of looking "up" into the canopy of a forest of fir trees.

One question. The brownish colors make the fir trees look dead or dying. Why aren't they painted in shades of green?

Also, I'm surprised that they didn't paint in some tree hugging, pot smoking, hippies spiking the trees to prevent logging.

Where's Waldo (Robin Hood Version) ???
Look carefully. This guy has got to be hiding in this forest somewhere.

If they did that, the officials would repeatedly stop the game thinking there were fans on the court.

Illegal by NFHS rules
The restraining circle does not have a clearly defined division line. This would not be legal in high school. Is this floor legal per NCAA rules?

If it doesn't, then no it isn't.

Where does it say the rules "clearly defined?" All the rules says in NF is that the line must be solid or a shadow line. Hard to tell this by the pictures, but that does not mean the line is not solid either.

Peace
