While I don't like the new court, let me pivot to something else we can agree on. Why is it necessary that the lighting in the Capital One Center has to be so horrible? I realize nobody gives a crap about what Georgetown thinks about the lighting, but shouldn't the Wizards want something that shows up better on TV? I just don't know why it has to be so awful compared to a place like Madison Square Garden.

1. I like the bolder kente cloth appearance on the new court.
2. Uniforms should be blue and grey. Period. Any design Nike comes up with but only those colors.
3. Lighting is horrible at the Capital One Center. James Naismith had better at the Y in Springfield.

I also question whether this is a stroke of brilliance at giving us an advantage on our home court. I think staring down at the floor before looking up to shoot the hoop may not be an option as the crossing lines may visually disorient the eye to the hoop. By using a traditional african staple of hoya uniforms in this way to disorient opposing teams at the free throw line is a stroke of genius.

Kente filling their field of vision from their toes all the way up into the stands.

When it first appeared it drew in many to find out more about kente cloth and placing their eyes beyond what they have seen and thought about before. It has set the Hoyas apart since they started it and that is a good thing in my book.

I'm a fan of the new court, but from distance (likely what it will look like on TV) the court looks really awesome.
Edit: also thank goodness they replaced the purple seats with black ones.

I like the new look of the playing surface, but I really like the dark out of play boundary more than the plain wood.
