I already want to buy a hat. It's not the most inspired look but I'll be honest. I was jealous of Brooklyn's redesign. We have literally followed their playbook.

Did the North Koreans leak it?

Like the logo. Simple but different. Now it depends on what colors they go with.

On Instagram, they took away any colours from it, same with the commercial spot.

A basketball-claw thing.


LOL. I still bet that tons of people were patting themselves on the back after making this new logo thinking of how "forward thinking , progressive & cutting edge" it is.

It looks like the creative team waited until the night before the deadline, drank some redbull, pulled an all-nighter but wasted their time eating Doritos & watching youtube comedians then panicked in the early morning & photoshopped the brooklyn logo and submitted it with a sheepish grin to their bosses.


Not all logo's need a complete redesign. Some just need refinement or an updated. If it's better, than it's money well spent. Is this better? It's simpler, that's for sure but I think that it needs a lot more love before we can pronounce it better. It really looks like a super rough concept.

They steal our thunder in the playoffs so we stole there logo. The font is what bothers me the most. That and the lack of color.

I would be fine with the black and white one if the nets didn't exist tbh, that's too brooklyn though. I hope we have our full logo on the jersey, something like the warriors.

It's a very clean design but it's missing a color accent to really define it. In all honesty having shaded purple on the outer circle would really emphasize that logo.

I'm hoping they change the font. Then I would like it. Purple logo/accents on a black jersey would be pretty sweet imo

Or white logo/accents on a purple jersey

If these designs are our options, I'd rather go with this one

I don't think they will change the font, this is the font used on the court

wow, wasn't expecting this to come out this early. The franchise is growing up, and we're ditching the kid-friendly look.
