Does YOUR team need a new logo?

Lets face it, the NBA is the home to the most awful logos in all of the American sports. Some teams have remodeled their logos in recent years to make them a bit more trendy/hip/cool. But some teams are still way behind, so I ask you REALGM, does your team need a new logo? There are obviously the teams that should not evolve like LAL, NYK and Boston...

Teams that have evolved with their logo:
Atlanta
Utah
Denver
Memphis
Cleveland
Houston
Portland
Milwaukee
Dallas
New Orleans...kind of
Phoenix tried to.

But there are those teams with just some ugly looking logos.

First, I'll start with Toronto...Toronto is in the worst need for a new logo. Get rid of that cartoonish jurassic park crap...They changed colors for the new logo, but is still ugly as hell. At least their jerseys look cool.

Then there is Miami, again a classic 90s UGLY...

Orlando...more cheesyness. You could do something really cool with "Magic" but nooo, they have the "disneyize" the logo.

And then, there's the Nets. I assume they will change it all when the move to Brooklyn...but anytime your logo is predominantly grey, you have a problem.

Then there is more "disney" with Philly. Philadelphia and Portland are the only teams I can think of where their original logo from their founding is far better than their current logos. The older 6ers logos were some of the best in American sports.

And then there is the worst in the league...Minnesota. Is that even a sports logo with the huge wolf head? I mean seriously? At least the name is cool. They could have a similar logo to the Nevada wolfpack and that would be cool.

Actually, I like the Raptors' claw logo. I dont like the other, older one, but I really like just the simple claw. And of cource I like the Grizzlies' logo. And I like the Hawks Logo. Philly really needs to update it. The 80s are over.

Miami doesn't need a new logo. We need a Center damnit. And there's nothing wrong with the Sixers logo or most of the logos you listed.

Pistons tried the whole logo change thing....didn't work so well. Better to stick with the simple.

I like simple logos. Such as logos that dont show the team's name.

For the Magic - yes. I think an update with less "cheesyness" as you put it would be nice.

I like their secondary logo, though.

I'd like to see a new Clippers logo, but I honestly think it'll look worse or more of the same, so there's no need to. Unless they change the color scheme...

I actually like the Twolves logo, just remove the trees and the resize the lettering and it'll look decent. Their new secondary logo looks awesome though.

IMO Grizz have the ugliest jerseys and logos in the league

My team the warriors have have have to make a new logo and colors soon. Go back to some retro blue/gold/white type colors. Also I hate how we have the stupid thunder mascot. What does thunder have to do anything with a Warrior. Warriors is probably the coolest name in the league, but it has the weakest mascot

I love the Bulls logo, but it'd be nice to have an alternate sometimes.

Any photoshop experts have one?

Minn secondary logo and Toronto's secondary logo should both be their primary ones.

The Hawks/Clippers logos and jersey need to change.

Raptors and Bobcats should actually get new names/logos/etc
