I’m not sure what this means in the grand scheme of things, but may lord have mercy on my wallet if they are going back to the OG logo and jerseys.

Jacob Diamond is the Magic's equipment manager and he is showing off the new nameplates that will be going over the lockers for road games this season.

The name plates generally match the uniform, so it's possible we're getting an old school blue this season. We'll see!

My mind went straight to these jerseys below. Could see them bringing these amazing jerseys back except with the current futuristic font over the front of them.

Would kill for them to go back to the older logo, but the bajillion dollar training facility with the current logo all over it makes that an expensive change.

Omar on Twitter is very good at predicting/knowing what our jerseys will be.

It’s going to be the blue stars jersey, which if done right by Nike can look better than it did 20 years ago. Those jerseys were not flattering and retained water.

It's weird that he shows the original logo but with the stars jersey font. I hope they're not trying to combine the two

For as love as our original pinstripes jerseys get and deservingly so, their follow-up are just as awesome.

Only thing that would've made them better is "Orlando" on the front of the road jersey but I'm not mad about it.

Hated the star jerseys back in the day and still do. Wish we would just go back to the original pinstripes.

Not crazy about the font type and size but I like the direction

Can't decide about the stars
Mebbe I like the ghost pattern stars
Mebbe I don't

Seems a little busy

Why are they incapable of designing a better logo?

It seems like every other team aside from Indiana has had a rebrand at this point.

Best Logos:
Heat
Bucks
Spurs
Bulls
Warriors
Pels

Decent logos:
Grizz
Jazz
Nuggets
Cavs
Wizards
Raptors
Twolves
Nets


Heritage logos that still stand up
Pistons
Blazers
Pacers
Hawks
Knicks
Sixers

Heritage logos that need a change
Rockets
Clips
Lakers
Celtics
Suns

Bad/nondescript
Magic
Mavs
Hornets
Kings
