More of a revisions to the current court, but it's noticeably different:

From the Michael Bergman tweet:




I like the updated fonts, but don't like the lighter court and state outline. The court/outline might be more due to it being new, not sure.

Honestly if it wasn't pointed out that things were different, I might not have noticed, other than the A10/MAC logo swap of course.

Nothing needed fixing, in my opinion.

I like the older version with the wood-grain look of the floor. The new one looks a bit washed out to my eyes. But I agree with Mike, kind of an unnecessary update. Why is the department spending our few precious dollars on this?

Having only one 3 pt line is a major plus. They had to change the conference logos. I assume it is not a new floor, just the old floor getting sanded.

I hadn't realized that the 3pt distance had been the same for the last couple seasons. I guess at some point the women were just told to ignore the closer line.

I gotta say, I like the state of Mass on the floor. I know it's been there, but I like it. I think I prefer the heavier side & end lines tho.

[LS71]

^ I agree.

That said, I want see a winning team more than I care how the floor looks.

This means the italicized 'Massachusetts' is gone and standardized across Football & Basketball. Turf, court, and uniforms. I think at least uniforms for most other sports.

Gone is Sam the Minuteman.

The only resemblance left from the 2003/2012 rebrand is what remains in the evolved Power U.

Women’s line moved back in 2021.

We need more Sam….

When did this happen?

[InnervisionsUMASS]

Sam isn't gone, but they rarely use the mascot in branding.

The mapmaker in me is pleased that the Southwick Jog has been retained.

Well done!

I like the new font because the MU in MULLINS reminds of the UMass logo. Mostly I want to see our guys (and women) reliably make shots from Nantucket and at the other end from just beyond the northwest corner of the state (Williamstown?)
