symbolic references to the
Pacific Northwest, as well
as the two individuals most
responsible for the arena
becom ing a reality, Phil
Knight and Pat Kilkenny.
"We wanted to de­
sign the most iconic televi­
sion presence possible for
the University o f Oregon
by conjuring up a highly
unique and visible basket­
ball floor design,” accord­
ing to Tinker Hatfield, vice
president for design and
special projects for Nike.
"It’s inspired by our beau­
tiful tree-covered region
and the UO 1939 NCAA
Cham pionship basketball
team nick-named the 'Tall
Firs.’”
The court is framed
by a representation o f a
view from beneath a forest
o f fir trees. Also present
on the floor is the new
arena logo, designed for the
namesake o f the building,
Matthew Knight.
T he f l o o r has
been named for Kilkenny,
a long-tim e supporter o f
the University o f Oregon
who recently served as the
school’s director o f athletics
(2007-09), and w hose con­
tributions were paramount
in the arena’s construction.
The "Kilkenny Floor” text
listed above the Matt Arena
logo, is accom panied by
three additional graphics.
"We wanted to pay
respect to Pat K ilkenny,
and the K ilkenny fam i­
ly, by telling their story
in a classy and subdued
series o f three sym bolic
graphics,” H atfield said.
