Semi-OT: Clippers rebrand 

Post#1 » by Bruin » Mon Feb 26, 2024 4:13 pm

Hopefully we should be having a rebrand next season as well. Wonder if we’ll get any updates on that before the season ends or if it’ll come in the offseason

Is it just me or is there no difference? It feels like they've changed their aesthetic very year. You can tell me this is a jersey from 2019 and I'd never question it.

Here's Elton Brand wearing basically the same jersey 20 years ago:

There is a huge difference. It looks like it is more close to the CP3/Blake Clippers stuff but the Kawhi/PG stuff has been horrid
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Our rebrand will be in the 2025-2026 season to coincide with the 30 year anniversary I believe. Just in time for when Scottie and Flagg takeover the league.

Ships were called Clippers back in the day.

Might as well say Toronto Raptors jersey's back in the day gave Jurassic Park vibes.

I mean...

Wordmark is not outlined
Different # font
Different neck link
Different shoulder
Sides are different
Colours are different
Waistband is colored now
Logo is completely different

Here is their current jerseys:

Would've went for the name change as well since the name's been linked with years of terrible losing.

But considering we want things to continue that way, I guess it's ok.

Sounds like every fan in focus groups wanted powder blue and hated the black, but executives are too insecure so they went with the most boring possible navy and red.

That said, Scotiabank should take notes:
That includes The Wall, a giant 51-row section reserved for fans who prove (through various check-offs) their bona fides as Clippers supporters. The concourse will be dotted with countdown clocks that will tick during commercial breaks to alert fans to return to their seats for the resumption of game action, Ballmer said. In suites, the food will be set up closer to the court instead of toward the back of the suites.

MLSE would never. Those seats need to be full of suits and you can’t rush their precious networking time.

In that Lowe article, it says the Clips fanbase reacted very strongly against changing the actual name of the team so they kept it.

Looks like a cruise ship operator than a basketball team.

Honestly...the team name should change too.

Overdesigned and still dull without a hint of charm. Very on brand Clippers.
