A basketball net may be constructed from fabric. Appropriate fabrics may include knit fabrics made from durable materials, such as nylon thread. Monofilament nylon in a knit fabric having perforations manufactured in the fabric, may provide resilient nets capable of stretching in two dimensions. Nets may be constructed in a shape resembling a frustum of a cone. The frustum may be constructed from multiple pieces. Fabric may be laid flat, and cut in tapered pieces, having the fabric oriented in a direction selected to provide the best performance in service. Segments may be hemmed together along more-or-less vertical lines on the edges of the frustum. The net is manufactured of a fabric selected to provide a substantial fraction of its overall area in a surface for receiving an image. However, a substantial portion of the overall area of the fabric of the net may be voids for providing resilient stretching and service.
