    I've been looking online but cannot find a photo of the original Raptors court circa 1995. Anyone gotta picture of it or perhaps an even more hideous court?

    Pic kind of sucks but that's the raptors court from the skydome.

    Back in the mid-90s, that was the biggest (dumbest) fad for NBA courts. Even the Rockets had the area between the FT line and the 3-Pt line painted dark blue. Ours even had STARS in there. Really homotastic if you ask me.

    Yeah, I don't see any green on the Hornets court. Only blue and purple :confused:

    Thanks for the help, I still hope to find a pic that depicts the wood grain effect Toronto had at the time but there just aren't many pictures out there.

    Not sure if hotlinking this will work -- or if it's the wood pattern you're thinking about (the floor paint's pretty different) -- but viewimages.com has this shot (search for "toronto raptors skydome"):
