Clippers getting a new logo next year?

[Forte IV]

Lol why's my friend in the Funny or Die skit. He's not even a player

[My Main Man]

you guys with team logos in your info bars better pm realGM admins to tell them not to change it lol

Was thinking the same exact thing. Send a message to Ballmer. It's already been said by everyone, but yikes. The white home uni is def the best, but the black 'CLIPPERS' looks really out of place for some reason. Feel like it should be blue.

Overall, not good. The hunch here at Uni Watch HQ is that this was a rush job, which in sports branding terms means it was probably done in only one year instead of two. The league and new team owner Steve Ballmer both probably wanted to put the Sterling era behind them as soon as possible, which means they likely had to whip up a new design extremely quickly in order to meet all the production and licensing deadlines for the 2015-16 season.

That's understandable, but the compressed time frame really took a toll on the designs. So the Clippers have gone from desperately needing new logos and uniforms to ... desperately needing new logos and uniforms. Too bad.

Regardless of if the new look is bad or not, it's great to see what the organization did today.

Several former players, including Cuttino Mobley, Lamond Murray, Gary Grant, Pooh Richardson, Olden Polynice and Darrick Martin, helped pass out the new shirts at 32 different locations around Los Angeles and greater Southern California on Thursday. It was the first big step toward developing an alumni network among former players, which was seemingly lacking when Donald Sterling was the owner. Rivers said it was a priority of his during the offseason.

"We don't have a history and we're trying to build one," Rivers said. "It's going to be a piece by piece thing. We've reached out to just about every former player, whether they've played a year or five years here because no one's really played more than that with the Clippers organization. A lot of guys are coming back and we want to do even more with San Diego and Buffalo. We really want to reach out and we're going to try to do that."

"Last year was tough even though we knew or thought Steve would be the owner, we didn't really know and it made it very difficult, especially in recruiting," Rivers said. "When other teams are bringing their owner out and talking to players, I came with some flowers and said, 'He'll be here, I swear.' It was a middle of a court case and I heard from several veterans that they didn't want to take the chance. Now it's clear. We know who we are and we know who's running the team."

24 hrs later. Home jerseys are still dope. Road red still weak as ****

[mj_shoefanatic]

Like the home, blue and blk alternates. The red ones suck.

[Flight 22]

Who let Stevie Wonder design your guy's road jerseys?

Nice home uni's though.

wow that one looks sooooo much better with the yoshida redesign.

[MrHill]

Yeah, that last one is excellent...great job by the artist.

[Ranma]

There were definitely some good ones amongst the entries. Love the anchor on the shorts. Not a fan of the gradient of the winner and the ball lines are a bit thin. But I like the direction.

funkatron,

here's another chance for you to submit your designs to a bigger audience:

Paul Lukas, ESPN.com (6/23/15)

The ground rules are as follows:

• Your entry must include a primary logo and full home and road uniforms. If you like, you can include secondary logos and up to two alternate uniforms, but those aren't required. (If you omit these extra elements, it will not be counted against you. We're looking for quality here, not quantity.)

• Your designs can be created in any digital or analog medium (Illustrator, Photoshop, crayon, whatever) and can be submitted in any standard digital format (JPG, PDF, TIFF, etc.). You can also create a video presentation and upload it to YouTube if you like.

• The files you submit should be named after yourself (PaulLukas.jpg, for example). If you're submitting multiple files, please number them (PaulLukas1.jpg, PaulLukas2.jpg, etc.) or use some other designation (PaulLukas-homeuni.jpg, PaulLukas-logo.jpg, etc.). Files that don't follow this format will not be considered.

• In keeping with longstanding Uni Watch chromatic policy, entries including even a hint of the color purple will not be accepted.

• Email your entry to Uni Watch HQ (uniwatching@gmail.com). If you have more than one concept, feel free to enter as many times as you like.

• Deadline: 7 p.m. ET July 3.

Uni Watch Challenges You to Redesign the Clippers' Uniforms

[mttwlsn16]

The red and black Hawks jerseys are dope. The home look like a McDonalds outfit. At least we aren't the only team with 1 crappy new uniform.

[theFRANCHISE]

Hawks look like a college uniform.

[nickhx2]

don't like the white one. i like red and black.

[MrHill]

If not for the neon green "volt" color they're using, I would really like the Hawks' new unis. The "volt" should have been a more solid yellow or gold color instead.

This would have been perfect.

Also, those Hawks jerseys look horrendous.

I like this logo too obviously more than the official one. I particularly like the inclusion of the nautical flags. However, the way they were incorporated is not practical since they would not be viewable when the logo goes smaller, which must be kept in mind for all logos given that they'd have to be resized for various merchandises.
