Poll: What do you think of the Oklahoma City Thunder's New Floor?

This is just a quick poll to see what you guys think of what the Thunder did to their home floor over the off-season. The main visible change is in the lane. As you can see, our paint used to be wood coloured, with yellow trim and a blue free throw zone.

Now, our paint is all blue, and the free throw zone is all wood coloured. There is also a NBA Cares logo, not pictured below.

Personally, I'm not too big of a fan of the new paint, but I do understand its' changing for sponsorship reasons. Chesapeake Energy has blue in their logo, so they lit up their new arena like a blue flame and it only makes sense to paint the floor blue as well.

Still, I think there's more creative ways of going about it. Take the insane floor of the Charlotte Coliseum (home of the Hornets from 88-02), for example.

Okay, you don't have to get THAT crazy, but still, I think it's an improvement over unoriginality.

Poll of the new paint in the lane

I think they should incorporate all the colors of the team….i realize because the new naming rights of the arena and their colors are blue…but it is also the team that plays there, so it should include all the colors of the team. I think it would look better and more attractive. Please, Chesapeake think about it, maybe next season you will incorporate that…its just not about you, its about the team…..the motto of the team….all about the team not one identity.
