(It apparently isn't complete yet.)
Wow! That is UGLY! I bet Jamil is glad he left there!
It apparently is the view of a forest from the ground.

Which works when you're looking at an image on a computer screen, but that's a disaster from any seat in the building. Looks like a floor buffer got out of control.
Looks like someone spilled a few gallons of bleach at center court.
I'll wait til the final images. At very I hated it, but could see it being cool if the colors work out.
It's a tribute to the first NCAA basketball champion in 1939. That Oregon team the won the championship was called the Tall Firs. Hence the woods on the court
Oregon's goal is to have the ugliest/most ridiculous looking everything
No, their goal is to have people talk about their uniforms and unique court. good thing we haven't taken the bait...oh wait.

Now that you say that... I see it. Before you said I had no clue what they were going for.
What the hell is under the "O" at center court?

I wondered the same thing when I first saw it. Based on comments I've seen on articles about the floor the "TTATT" is actually "MATT" as in Matthew Knight Arena. I still don't see it.

I like their football jerseys.
This floor is miserable tho.
assuming you know the history with the "Firs" thing (i didn't before reading the post earlier), i think it actually looks pretty cool.

The feather wings...same thing on their football jerseys
Oh no no no. Marquette, as a fellow Nike school needs to one-up that crap next season and go with the "black hole floor" - see the black hole house for inspiration.

FYI, Kentucky just hired the same guy who designed the Oregon Court to design UK's Home Court for the upcoming season:

Actually, W0bbie was right. It is supposed to say MATT. I don't really see it but here is the video from the designer:

It looked like the feathers they use for the football uniforms, but you're right...it's definitely Matt

Yeah they do look pretty similar. I think they are trying to use a modern script but to me it really looks more like TTATT.
I like the floor. I think its pretty creative.

The video explains that Phil Knight visited Japan and hence the used of the toriis - Japanese gateways - as the "M" and the TT".
