The worst thing about this is the BKN nets logo still looks better lmaooooo

[hankscorpioLA]

How can some of you guys actually like this trash? It's a replica of another NBA team's logo and we're blatantly biting their style, design, and color scheme. Absolutely no authenticity to it at all and even if it wasn't a complete bite off of the Nets, it's bland and tasteless. No substance at all.

The Nets color scheme is black and white. Our color scheme is black, silver and red.

As for the style, it is similar to ONE of the Nets secondary logos, but not their primary one, which is this.




IMHO releasing the logo in black and white was a huge mistake because it immediately created this connection to the only other black and white logo in the league, which is similar in structure.

But when you see it in color, the similarities diminish and the differences are more pronounced.

i like it...

[hankscorpioLA]

That looks so much better. I'm so tired of the grey.

I actually agree. I don't mind the grey...though its actually silver...as an accent.

But I agree this looks better. I understand why they went with what they did from a design perspective, but this looks more like a team logo and less like a brand.

Yeah. Big mistake by them. They posted the color one originally but deleted it, and then posted the black & white one. I didn't even think of the Nets until they posted the white one. The color one actually reminded me of the Grizzlies logo for some reason.

Same reason many fans rationalize terrible moves by their teams. Remember the Turkoglu signing?

But prior to becoming a Raptor, he was regarded as a good player.

yawn
leiweke must have decided to stay out of it

So much people roasting the raptors on social media. So embarrassing wtf were they thinking? SMH

[Hue Durant]

it's as if they bolded the letters because their first was far too much like brooklyn's.

[Double Helix]

Somebody earlier said it best. Can you imagine if they had gone Blue Jay flexing his muscles bad? Or the Teal Pistons monstrosity bad? Or that cartoony man in the Raincoat Islanders bad?

It was going to be a shock no matter what they did because we are all so used to what we've had. But at least this is wearable. At least you won't feel like some leather sandals and socks beer helmet NFL jock goofball wearing gear like this. You know the obnoxious-jock driven gear I'm talking about here.

The simplicity makes it closer to a clothing design logo than what most people think of when thinking of sports logos. The Nets look is one of the most popular in all sports. People wear it worldwide. There's no maple leaf on this. There's no cartoons. It's just a font, a circle and a basketball with some claw marks and a splash of colour.

I'll take wearable, simple and classic but derivative over wholly unique, goofy, obnoxious, ugly and unwearable, personally.

Current logo is better, imo.

Where they may have went wrong is with this. Tried to make something that appealed to the mainstream so it could make money. That was never going to sit well with Raptor fans.

I'm looking on twitter and most of the response if pretty positive - though noting the simiilarities to Brooklyn's when shown in black and white.

[StopitLeo]

Black and white like Brooklyn? Remind me of the "Sea of Red" in the playoffs when the Nets wore their alternates, smh.

[Anth0ny]

That's kind of garbage. Way too similar to the Nets.

Just make the purple jerseys standard. DONE.
