Eurobasket 2011, Lithuania

[re5pectas]

Yesterday there was a presentation of the official logo:



Logo has two main symbols of Lithuania - basket&ball and "Gediminaičių stulpai" (Gediminaičių pillars), about them from wikipedya:

Gediminaičių pillars - one of the major symbols of statehood, Lithuania, the Ruler of the governing symbol, used Gediminaičių Stanford governor. The first known use - 1397 years Vytauto stamp, then the authority of the flocks Vytautas marshed with this mark on the flags in Žalgiris battle. There are several Gediminaičių pillars of the theory, one theory links the brand with Gediminaičių was from roman Columna relatives, the other version - that evolved from the Russian columns of seals (similar characters to find Drohičino plombose).

(sorry, I just used google translator )

Didn't know about that symbol, thanks for the input re5pectas.
I like the symbol very much, but I think the Lith flag colours are missing.

Well, there were logos with lithuanian tricolor on the list of candidates, but FIBA chose thatone with columns.

Straight-forward, pretty cool logo.

Apparently this logo represents incorporated perspective basketball player sees the board and the hoop.
I can only guess that the author is sort of a midget.

I also checked them after seeing the official one
Anyway, I must admit that logo is pretty cool, and definatly differs from other Eurobaskets logo's

Nice logo, but i agree with rikhardur that lithuanian flag colours r missing for sure. I think it,s a bit not finished off.

Representing movie:

[Greed]

Ghem. Dunno.
If this movie, would be pointed to Lithuania's people, it would be ok.(though most of Liths knows, the history of our basketball and so on..) But still ok.
But when this movie represents, Lithuania to Europe, as basketball country..
Ghem.
I really don't think, that some German or Spaniard, will sit and listen, to this monotorious and boring voice, for 10 minutes, about our basketball history, occupation, financial crisis or arenas and same swampy sh*t.
No effects, no surprise factor, no fasten..

Really don't understand the point of this movie.
Nothing special.

[Straight forward]

What do you suggest? I think the movie is pretty good. Those who are interested will watch without big problems.

FIBA Europe has announced the seedings for the draws of the Eurobasket 2011

[Billy Bounce]

Qualification Draw is here

We've got a nice group:

Latvia
Israel
Finland
Italy
Montenegro ( with Pekovic )

[Gytaz]

Latvia
Israel
Finland
Italy
Montenegro ( with Pekovic )

Wow, that's surely a group of death. The irony is that probably 2 strongest teams (Italy and Montenegro) were in 4th and 5th seeds...

I would expect Latvia to have the most fans in this Eurobasket of all teams, except the hosts, but sadly their chances of qualifying are quite slim...

[Straight forward]

I think Italy will advance. They have potential and now with smart coach they can make really interesting team, not to mention that they won't be missing leadership with Gallinari, Belinelli and Bargnani. The group is really hard though.

BTW, Eurobasket in Lithuania will be one of the best once again while this event will have tickets fot Olympics. For example, T. Parker already said that the most important is Eurobasket 2011, as well as Dirk.
