Suns 5-On-5: Breaking Down The New Look

1) How do you feel about the new court design?

Gerald Bourguet (@GeraldBourguet):  I’m a fan. There’s still not enough purple, but at least changing some of the lines on the court to purple is a step in the right direction. That being said, the main reason I love the court redesign is the return to the Suns’ sunburst logo. No offense to the “PHX” sun alternate logo or the giant “SUNS” at midcourt, but let’s not abandon the sunburst ever again.

Gavin Schall (@GavinSchall):  It’s a little bit too Halloween for me. That being said, it’s an improvement over last year. The shooting sun is a lot more creative than simply having “SUNS” as center court. I’m also thrilled that purple’s back in the mix as the lines on the court. I’m still rooting for a day where purple is one of the two primary colors again.

Scott Chasen (SChasenKU):  Love it. I love that they’re bringing back some purple and I’m really a fan of the center court logo being a sun and not an “S.” I feel like the court has potential to be one of the better ones in the NBA, and perhaps WAY (sarcasm font) more importantly, one of the better ones in NBA 2K16 too, which is really MUCH more important.

Troy Taucher (@tt_sports):  I think the new design is pretty good. Having the sun back is nice. I always prefer team logos that are more than just the names. I do feel like maybe they’ve fallen too much in love with the color black. It really does make the orange pop though. Wait, what am I doing? I’m a basketball analyst not an interior design expert.

Mark Harris (@Harris_Mark7):  I like it. Very simple but colorful at the same time. The addition of the ball in the middle is also pretty cool.
