Not bad. Retro but refreshed. I'm pro.

Here are the jerseys on the players as well! With more visibility of the shorts!

They look even better on the players. Dope design, imo.

Jersey's 10/10 for sure. Absolutely amazing.

The court though...that logo I am not a fan of. I don't like the black border. Prefer clean designs. I get it's a sponsor but the Kia Center looks awful also. 1/10 for the court unfortunately.

Logo is the same garbage as all these circular logos now. I get that it is app generation and they design logos so they would just look ok as app icon, but man, the talent and creativity in logo design is lost. I can photoshop, I could make that logo, and I do not have talent, I shouldn't be able to make NBA team logo. Just so terrible, yeah its a basketball in a circle againt, I haven't seen that before... Some designer probably got 50k for doing that s***, I could legit have done it if you said you want crap like this. I made some logos for people playing buzzerbeater.com, and maybe not all my logos were good, I am not saying I am pro graphic designer, but I always tried to make something at least interesting, not a basketball in a circle.

I think (?) it's an NBA requirement now in re-brands. Could be wrong. Same with a basketball in logos. I mean, the Magic have always had that so it's not that different but I think those requirements stifle a lot of new creativity possibilities.

Same with teams unable to go back to retro fully because I think deals with Mitchell & Ness and other retailers where it isn't allowed to be fully replicated.

But a ball in a circle communicates "basketball!" I love basketball!

I think their 2000s logo was good. I can see why someone wouldn't like it, but I mean at least you needed talent to make MAGIC font, it looked professional. I didn't like their recent rebrand, it was similar than before, but that new modern font they used was just so bad, basically just a photoshop font you would find on the net. But this is just even worse, like you legit do not need talent anymore to make NBA logos. We had that mammoth logo posted, that looked good, like surely you needed talent to draw that up.

I think team named "NETS'' should probably have basketball in a circle (and they do, what a surprise), but for other teams, man, hire someone who can draw up something. I still can't get over Raptors ''watermelon'' logo, you have team named the Raptors, an animal that is so agile, almost aerodynamic looking, but you make basketball in a circle that looks like watermelon, but it has claw sratch you see, so its genius... Man, we lost it :lol:

Fair enough.

I'm a simple man: I see a basketball, I'm happy. Been like that since the first time I saw one.

Simplicity is genius often, I am personally very happy how my FC Twente inspired logo turned out for basketball manager game (the one I use as RealGM logo), I think it is simple, nothing much, but man, all these new NBA logos look the same. I always was interested in sports logos, when I was a kid, I and friends used to have made belief shooting tournaments, and I would make up and draw teams for all of us to use, and when I was a kid, all these real teams had unique logos, it was fascinating and inspiring.

Super cool you did that as a kid.

I never was big, fast and athletic type, I was always creative and brains type :lol:

I remember one of my friends was the first to get PC, 30 years ago it was rare to have a PC, and my friend would play PC games like Commandos, and I mean he played it, I didn't know how to play it, but I would sit next to him and just tell him what to do and come up with how beat that Commandos puzzle, so in a way, I played that game more than him. Same with Command and Conquer games.

I was also making all sorts of board games, before I even knew these board games exist. We only knew monopoly, and I figured why something cooler doesn't exist? :lol:

If I had more initiative and confidence, I would probably try to break into board game buziness, adepticon stuff.

Oh man naw, they fumbled big time. I only like the white jersey but the others and the logo stink
All they had to do was modernize the '89 logo and jerseys

I always liked the old Pacers' pinstripes in the 90s so I like these.

I actually like it all except the black jersey. Their black pinstripes jersey’s from the 90’s is GOAT tier stuff and shouldn’t be messed with

I don't think the statement jersey is a modern version of the classic black. Yes it is black and it has pinstripes, but I think it's its own thing. It's a nod to the classic warmups. I wouldn't be surprised there will be a true black jersey sometime.
