With the 2014-15 NBA campaign just three weeks away, a number of teams have begun unveiling the new and improved floor surfaces on which their players will ply their trades this coming season. The San Antonio Spurs, Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans have all showed off their new home court designs, and on Monday, it was the Atlanta Hawks' turn:

The most notable difference, of course? The reappearance at center court of the Hawks' old "Pac-Man" logo, which the team reintroduced as a secondary logo back in May, and has now elected to deploy in a decidedly non-secondary fashion on the Philips Arena deck. A compare-and-contrast look between the old court and the new, courtesy of sometimes sideline reporter Craig Sager Jr.:

Everything about this seems like an upgrade to me. The move to a darker baseline, the darker tone of the wood on the court, the switch from blue to red in the lane, the removal of the extraneous former secondary logo inside the 3-point arcs, etc. — it's a cool, clean presentation that connects the Hawks more to their fun-and-highlight-filled past than to their tumultuous present. Nicely done, all the way around.

The new court's christening will come Monday night, when the Hawks welcome Anthony Davis and the Pelicans — a franchise that knows a thing or two about angry birds on the floor — to Atlanta. All we need now are some Dominique and Spud-evoking throwback throwdowns and we've got a recipe for a pretty fun little evening of preaseason basketball in Georgia.
