Clippers getting a new logo next year?

[Ranma]

can we just keep this uniforms with a red version, blue version and a white?

love the font, and style, font looks like it could become iconic over time

The problem is every NBA team will have their version of the Christmas uniform with the same font and style. It was not designed by Zucker and her 3rd-rate freelance team. It was created by the NBA and would be another case of our brand identity being outsourced and borrowed elsewhere even if the results are much better.

That would have been an ideal mini-reboot of our previous jersey. Instead we got a subpar overhaul, looking like the NBA Live logo.
I can't believe how badly Zucker dropped the ball on the redesign. I mean how hard is it to review a couple of ideas and maybe have some sort of public focus group? It's pretty much the concensus that the redesign was a failure.

Embarrassing that they actually paid money for that redesign, when there were random people uploading excellent concepts and designs on the Internet. I believe the poster Funkatron also posted some solid designs.... Smh at Zucker.

There's gonna be a huge petition from fans to keep that Christmas uniform to be the main road uni,

surprisingly though, the NBA's jerseys for christmas have typically been awful IMO, with variations of sleeves and whatnot

maybe when nike comes in to make jerseys, we'll get a redesign

had to google that name lol, interesting enough, Dassler who is the creator of adidas has a brother who is the creator of PUMA

but anyways, i don't like the recent christmas day jerseys (last years looked like basic pajamas) and their all star jerseys are even worse. I don't know if it is a direct adidas thing to have sleeved jerseys but i dont care for those at all. But actually, at the sake of being a homer, the clippers nautical jerseys are decent sleeved jerseys lol

Rudolph's company has become more about fashion than sports, but little bro Adolph was the first one ever in history of modern sports to sponsor a black american athlete. his name was Jessie Owens. for that alone, I don't mind some questionable fashion style they come up with as long as they are functionally sound. although I do own 80's all white Adidas high tops which were never worn on black top and they suck terribly compared to its contemporary Jordans or Airforce Ones.

hey but appreciate you for looking up those names. I hate it when I still hear people believing ADIDAS stands for "all day I dreamed about sports" no it doesn't, Adolph's childhood name was "Adi" and simply he added first three letters of his last name "DAS" thus the name adidas was born. Adolph got his brand name out there when he practically begged Jesse Owens to wear his spikes and other track and field shoes, and Jesse didn't disappoint when he delivered 4 golds for USA.

thought I make a small back ground story known for those who may not look it up.

respect for that, thank you for enlightening because i actually had no idea

I'm not disregarding the historical prominence adidas has had or even their current market size, just haven't been thrilled with the designs of their jerseys. Their current fashion actually isn't half bad considering they are a sports apparel company.

I got excited when I saw the thread title, then realized it was from BEFORE the new logo was unveiled...

Ha ha, this happens to me pretty much every time someone bumps this thread.

By now, I've given up hope...

With the NBA announcing last week that its board of governors has approved the use of corporate logos on player jerseys starting in 2017-18, we wanted to see how it would look if teams went all-in and merged with major companies in their backyard. Why stop at patches in a 2.5-by-2.5-inch space, as the NBA is considering, when you can take it further? With the help of artist Robb Harskamp, here's a look at how NBA jerseys could appear in the future:

God I hate those "this is what's happening, but we went one step further! LOLZ" type articles.

"Here's a player with 2 arms, but uh oh! we Photoshopped a 3rd! We're so wacky!"

Is there a single NBA uniform that is timeless like the Dodgers, Raiders, Steelers......INDIANA HOOSIERS etc. etc.????

Kinda depresses me knowing no matter how good the logo is, you're gonna have to switch it up sooner or later.

The Celtics...with slight modifications over the years, they've had the same uniform set since 1946. The Lakers have had the same uniform layout since '67, but they're modified the uniforms off and on over time, but once again they've had the same look for nearly 50 years. The only other teams I can think of that have that "classic/timeless" look are the Bulls and Spurs...both have had the same look since the 80s.

The Clippers, all until this current abomination that our players are wearing, always had really nice uniforms even going back to the Buffalo days (those Columbia blue mid-70s unis and the 2000-11 set are my all-time franchise uniforms)

I'm taking the opportunity to bump this thread to give us a look back at all the logo and uniform designs that are so much better than our current lame set. In any case, why hasn't Ballmer already signed the deal with Microsoft to put its logo on our uniform? Is our uniform so ugly that not even Ballmer's old company wants to be associated with it?

By the way, I'm opposed to adding corporate advertisement on NBA uniforms.
