Team Blouses Basketball Logo
UPDATE: Refined the logo to look more like Chapelle, intense stare and all. See below.
I hope this elicits a laugh (at least from non-Raptor fans). I don’t have anything to add except “Shoot the J! SHOOT IT!”

Please keep your comments clean if you are going to quote the skit.
Update: Added a jersey design too. If there are any 3-on-3 teams who want to use the logo, let me know. I’ll provide you with the art.
Here is an updated logo:
More Basketball Ideas
At the risk of repeating myself, I do not like basketball as much as I once did. When I tune into a game, I usually see the final minutes are bogged down in timeouts and foul line shots - so boring and anticlimactic. So I offer up a few more ideas to change the makeup of the game:
A. Multiple 3-point lines. When a team is penalized, it surrenders a closer 3-point shot for the other team. This would be made possible by having the lines illuminated under the floor boards. This penalty could be in effect for a few minutes in the game, could be awarded for a foul call.
B. Multiple Free-throw lines too. A closer line could be granted after x number of team fouls, This would make a foul shot easier to hit. This would be incentive for a more discipline game (as would the above 3-point line idea as well).
C. Shorter shot clocks for penalty-ridden teams. As you can see, I like changes that arise from penalties. It changes the make-up of the game, and that’s probably why I like hockey so much.
D. A basket that changes in height and position. It could be raised and pushed farther back to penalize a team, or lowered and closer as a reward. Not only would it be an entertaining variable, but it would demand much more athleticism and precision than a fixed basket.
Other suggestions: Award 2 points for a single free-throw shot, rather than having to shoot two separate shots at 1-point apiece. Give the player the option to shoot from the 3-point line for a foul shot. Fewer timeouts. Automatically award points for flagrant fouls AND give the ball back to the team that had possession.
