Customized Wall Padding From North Carolina Company Gives New Practice Facility Unique Look

Seldom has the mundane been so eye-catching. So it is with the protective wall padding within the University of Michigan’s spectacular new $23.2 million indoor practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball.

Nearly two decades after the Wolverines men’s team launched a new trend in basketball fashion by changing the look and length of its playing shorts, U of M has brought a dash of artistic style to the décor of its player development center. It has done so by adding a colorful flourish of Maize and Blue to the protective padding on its interior walls.
