I'm not so sure I like the two different colors, but the eyes are a nice touch.

I'm not big on the eyes. If I didn't know they were the Huskies, I would not be able to tell what animal they belonged to. It's not the eye of the tiger at LSU.

Like the design but hate the color scheme.  Would have been okay with black inside the arc but for me it's too much.  Looks like a nice regular season crowd for the Huskies though.

Not a bad concept, but I think the eyes are a bit of a miss. Not because the idea isn't interesting, but because at first glance, they look like they belong to a bird to me.

The eyes look like the UC Bearcat logo with eyes...but on the B-ball court, I don't think so!

This was my thought - the dark floor with a visiting team's dark uniforms could make it harder to see them on television.  Once a year.

Does NIU ever wear black at home?  Or do they even have a black uniform?  I'm blanking on that at the moment.

It really can't look as bad as that picture.  Maybe NIU doesn't have a photography section in their fine arts department.  Went the iPhone route.

If you sit on the other side, it looks like a muppet with an olde-tymey mustache giving you the stinkeye.
