Or vote for the second one (the one with just the wildcat head), because it is most definitely the dumbest looking.
In seriousness, I like the purple on my computer screen but it would undoubtedly look terrible in person if the whole court was purple

IMO, there is nothing tasteful about the color purple (no, I'm not referring to the movie Color Purple).

That would be the most disturbing to look at. I can't imagine anything except a low-scoring tripfest as teams can't help but gaze into a purple abyss.

Self-schadenfreude?

Don't forget if you vote #3, and it wins, you'll be forced to look at that abomination at least once a year for the rest of your life.
#4 is the most aesthetically pleasing court in my eyes.

The purple one would be the WORST. It would give them great home court because all the other teams would get headaches or blinded from that damn court. The clear thing to do is think like a basketball player, then say which court you would most want to play on. Yeah, I get t; it's Northwestern. When it comes to sports, you think they're a clown college. However, you have to consider your own team before theirs.
You should look up the word "schadenfreude" and reconsider if you're using it in the right context.

I think the Purple court is an eye sore, and hard to get used to, that said I think its an advantage for the home team.
I would vote for that, if I were a NW fan...

The last I heard, EVERY Big
The last I heard, EVERY Big
The last I heard, EVERY Big Ten school with the exception of Penn State boasts more living alumni in the Chicagoland area than Northwestern.
This is probably also true if you count Northwestern's entire active student body among their alumni numbers...
So, LOL @ "Chicago's Big Ten Team"

Where's a #4 with a plain 3-point area instead of the white. I'd vote for that. I don't like when the whole 3-point area is painted, let alone #3 where it looks like someone went crazy with the fill on MS Paint.
