The 2014-15 NBA season boasts changes for many teams throughout the league. Of course there’s players switching teams every season, but this year it seems that teams are doing more to change the cosmetics of their franchises.
With the Golden State Warriors again unveiling new sleeved uniforms, the Dallas Mavericks bringing about the first fan-based jerseys, and even the Cleveland Cavaliers with a new court with a silhouette of the city’s skyline that was showcased at their scrimmage Wednesday night, teams are doing a number of things to revamp their appearance.
Among these teams making changes are the New Orleans Pelicans. Last season marked the first with the team name and logo after changing from the Hornets, the team’s nickname since its inception. The Pelicans drafted Anthony Davis with the first overall pick in the 2012-13 draft to be the face of their franchise. Davis and the new-look Pelicans have ushered in a new era of basketball in New Orleans.
Today, the team showed off their new court, via a news release and courtesy of the team’s Instagram and Twitter.

Perhaps the most noticeable change here from last year are the silhouettes of the Pelican logo crammed inside each teams’ three point arc and throughout the key (below). The wings spread out towards the side of the arc, while the beak points right through the key and under the basket into an image of a basketball.
Overall, it doesn’t look too bad. If you’re a fan of the whole shading and images printed on the court, then you’ll enjoy watching the Pelicans play on, um, Pelicans. Still, though, nothing looks more ridiculous than the Milwaukee Bucks’ court.

Bin hire Frankston by their wonderful service supports you to
live in a safe and secured environment which is free from any diseases or health problems.
If you are still unsure of what bin size to go for, then it is always best to choose the larger option just in case.
Hiring a skip bin when doing home projects such as renovations and
spring cleaning projects is a practical and efficient way to manage waste.
The people that market the Cavaliers are unintentionally hilarious. They should have a home court silhouette of the neighborhoods surrounding that arena, simply glue down some giant photos of 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
