Texas Tech Simplifies, Loses State Outline

The basketball court here at Texas Tech has undergone a pretty extreme makeover, as shown in the following time-lapse video...

As one of the commenters on Twitter said, the new design really brings out the scarlet in the Double-T logo.

A history of Texas Tech's floor designs over the roughly 20-year existence of the United Supermarkets Arena (formerly United Spirit Arena) is available here and here.

The Texas state outline remains a centerpiece of the courts at Texas A&M (latest version, older version) and the University of Texas, Austin (most recently via a subtle difference in shellac shading).

Via Matt Rachmiel, Lyon College (Arkansas) has a new court, on which half the out-of-bounds area is blue and the other half, red.
