Our logo on ESPN last night 

Post#1 » by Twolves1Fan » Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:50 pm

I guess I'm just a little bored while counting down the hours before we play the Jazz tonight but was anyone else aggravated by the zombie/Frankenstein looking version of our logo during the Clippers game on ESPN last night?

I apologize if you guys have already discussed this but I don't think I saw our correct logo at all last night on any of their graphics. I know we rarely play on ESPN but d@mn, you would think they would get the correct version and not some cartoonish, freaky looking version.

Not sure why this bothered me but it did. Guess if we win some more games they will get it corrected! :wink:

Like I said, I'm counting down the hours till tip off and thought I'd bring this silly complaint up. :oops:

Fire away!!!

It looked like it was made for someone with a 3D TV

I also thought it looked like a zombie wolf.

It was 3D. If you pause this video at 0:35, you get a much better vantage point at the Wolf head

Yeah, espn started making all of the NBA logos in 3D this year. I don't have a 3D TV, but most of the time I thought the logos looked alright. But yeah, ours was a sloppy mess. The one time they showed the logo like we were looking up at it (KLOMP posted it in the video above) it looked pretty good. The rest of the night, I'm not sure if any amount of beer goggles would have helped.

yeah it looked really odd to me too. it must have been for 3D TVs or something I guess because I have never ever seen our logo look like that before
