The Pelicans drew giant pelicans on their new court

Though it’s difficult to decipher them.

This is the New Orleans Pelicans’ new court design. We know it’s official because this photo leaked earlier Thursday.

Those pale lines in the frontcourt are supposed to represent an actual Pelican -- or at least the team’s logo, sideways. The beak starts at the top of the key and goes down the lane, while the wings flare out to the sides. There’s an outline of an actual basketball right near the basket.

Maybe it’ll make more sense when it’s actually unveiled, or at least to the players actually using it. For now, it looks more like a giant spider than a pelican.
