It would be a big mistake if they don't use purple as an accent color!

This I can get around...just enough purple but nothing crazy

purple definitely does not go with this type of design, hopefully we get rid of purple altogether.

Mixed thoughts.

I was never a big fan of the busy dino logo. I was always a big fan of the simple claw, and hope it's kept in some capacity.

As for this new design?

In white it looks clean, but WAY too Brooklyn-ish.

With the red and silver it has more character, but the whole thing still looks a little flat.

Though when you texture it like this, it looks way better:

I agree that the font is plain and meh, and could be so much better. (I like the We The North font a lot better)

Mixed. Though if it's not front and centre on the jerseys, I honestly don't care all that much. More interested in the new uniforms look.

I will be a fan of the team but never that logo.

Huge marketing mistake not having these uniforms ready in time for Christmas. They would've sold a ton of them.

Why is our new logo a watermelon?

I really don't think the red is going to be part of the primary design.

Hey now our basketball is facing up rather then down and our lettering has more impact how's that for creativity... :lol:

Seriously though it could be way worse, so I am just thankful that so far they haven't NY Islander'd, Detroit Piston'd, or Utah Jazz'd us... At least so far...

I would hate it if it looked worse than Brooklyn's logo.. but its easily head and shoulders above it!

Just wished it was Black and gold!

Looking at this rebrand today has stirred me deeply.

When I get back in January, I'm going to make some more; try and put my money where my mouth is.

Let's see what I'm actually made of...

Little hard to see there!

But I would love to see what you could do if you really tried! With whatever the proper colours are going to be!

Again, I'm not thinking these are the end-all of good design, but they are just bolder designs. I'm going to keep trying new things...

Someone on here with inside info, said a ball with a claw was our logo. He also said the home jerseys were silver and red.

Its not an actual claw.. its the damage the claw caused to the ball

Right you are but I'm thinking it could equally be seen as damage from contact with the fiery juices of some hot banana peppers.

sticking with silver and red.. what a shame.

Looks like you're in for a healthy dose of disappointment.

I'm fine with silver (and definitely over purple, sorry purple-lovers, and I know there are many). Playing with silver lets us differentiate a bit from the other red-black-white schemes.

If people are misinterpreting the design of the logo already you know it's bad lol

Do you like the new logo?
