Georgetown had fans enter court designs in a contest in which they received more than 150 entrants. The school picked a winner on Tuesday as the school unveiled the winning design.

The new design, which features the lane with the traditional kente-cloth pattern that was first on Georgetown uniforms in the early ’90s, was created by graduate Kevin Rieffel.

I like the simplistic design of the floor Georgetown is using next season and the nod to the ’90s teams with the lane is a nice and subtle touch.

If you have a few additional minutes to spare, I would highly suggest checking out some of the runner-ups and more interesting court designs that Georgetown received, which is also included in the original release.

Manhattan unveils a wild new green court (PHOTO)

College basketball court designs keep going in bold new directions and Manhattan’s new home floor is certainly one of the bravest in recent memory. The green court is going to really stand out on TV and I’m anxious to see how it looks against some visiting team uniforms this season.

The Jaspers announced the new floor for Draddy Gymnasium in a release.

The release is filled with pro-green sentiments from athletics director Noah D. Levre and head coach Steve Masiello.

“The new basketball court design gives us a unique look and helps further the Manhattan College brand … we want to own the color green,” LeFevre said in the release. “How facilities appear matter and I am happy with the way this important component turned out.”

Masiello also likes the new floor and even named it the “Green Monster.” I’m not sure that name will stick, but it’s an idea.

“I can’t tell you how excited we are about the new court, which will add to the Manhattan brand,”Masiello said in the release. “It will be another area in which we separate ourselves in college basketball. It will now make Draddy Gymnasium one of the hardest places to play because of the Green Monster.”

Manhattan is certainly trying to own the color green in the college basketball landscape.

Not much of a change from the old court, which I think is good. Georgetown doesn't need a crazy court design. Much more of a classic design than what's out there these days. I think the distinct kente cloth pattern of the lane makes the court unique. And I like the change up of the wood pattern.
