⁠I like it. Glad they avoided the clutter we saw in some of the schematics.

Looks good. That is the one I voted for.

I like it! Clean look... I still would have just put the State T in the middle, but it doesn't look too cluttered.

Agreed...need to lose the "La ech" lettering. No need for that.

We'll talk about it until we're blue in the face but the unfortunate truth is no one cares.

space was left on the upperpart of the court purposely for a potential court sponsor.

"Your name here." This is your chance to be famous.

I like that lighter floor much, much better. Looks great!

I hate when the topcoat starts yellowing (or ambering). I hope they can address it. I know the two routes are oil vs water based polyurethane. Oil based has an amber hue, Water-based is clear. Both have its pros and cons. Oil has more shine and durability (has some flex to it), but looks awful over time. Water is less shiny, cost more, does not add additional warm look to the floor.

Oil Based Gym Floor Polyurethane:

• Has a warmer look and a better shine
• Provides better traction for fast paced sports
• Higher solids content means less coats needed and more durable
• Costs less than water based finish
• Can only apply one coat per day
• More flexible finish means less cracking and chipping of finish
• Ambers more over time

Water Based Gym Floor Polyurethane:

• Less shine and looks dull compared to oil based
• Clear color that ambers less
• Takes more coats because of lower solids content
• Less odor
• Costs more per coat than oil based polyurethane
• More prone to cracking and chipping between boards
• Can apply multiple coats per day
