Nope. I like it. I think that once people get over the initial black and white reveal, they will stop saying it looks like the Nets logo.

Makes more sense. Probably wear the alternates on 'Drake Night' once a year. (Hopefully no more than that).

I just wonder what happens when Drake looses his lustre and it will happen. Nobody stays on top forever...

Maestro Fresh Wes night.

lol i was thinking the same thing. People started judging based on the black and white color scheme. I think the logo itself is really sexy. I love it.

Now the color scheme....could have been better. But its not the ugliest thing either. Why not wait and see what the uniforms are like. Masai already said that its nothing like brooklyns.

There we go then.

My source told me black/red are alternates, and black/gold are main uni's. Has seen home/away (both black/gold/silver) and black/red alternates.

So glad we are sticking with Red. We should never get rid of red.

What about this logo says "minimalist" to you?

The explosion of colours, excessive use of lines, and sharp contrasting white mountains.

Possibly changed their mind. Also, Masai himself is quoted today saying the colors don't change so I think they get red is the color to go with as the primary....I'm sure they can wear gold/black many times too.

Someone book me saying that i think 90% of this fanbase who hates it will slowly come around and love it.

Think of the GW warriors logo rebrand. Everyone hated at first, and now everyone loves it.

I was confused by the black and white reveal so didn't say anything but seeing the whole thing slowly come together you realize the end product won't look anything like the cheap first version they showed. Looks good. Really interested to see the jerseys!!

If that's the case, then I dislike it. The silver ball with red circle is just...ugly, IMO.

Black/gold is at least unique and has a very polished look. Blech.

Drake's not gonna lose his lustre for another good 6-8 years. Dude is one of the most talented rappers/artists in the game. (Im not saying he's the best)

Everything he touches is a hit and as long as you can stay making hits in the music industry, your gonna stay a long time. His track record/awards speak for themselves.

You guys should be lucky we have drake as our ambassador and not guys like wale, j cole, meek mill, rick ross, young thug, etc....Cuz then there would be a real possibility they run out lustre in the near future.

For this design it's more in terms of geometric abstractions with this is association with blocks with minimal aesthetics that doesn't appear to have any added shading.

I definitely think it's solid. I don't think it's amazing and out of this world but I do definitely like it. I'm so happy that it isn't the black and white we originally thought and that there's colors added.

I really wish they never put out the original black and white version so there'd be less comparison to the Nets logo. Yes it looks a little like it but when looking at so many other NBA/sports logos there are a lot that fit the same general mold.

I think this logo will look really nice on hats and merchandise. It's going to sell like crazy.

The real important thing is how the uniforms look.

Well, this was an odd launch, but they seem to have ever sucker primed now to buy the merchandise.

I wonder what MLSE are thinking right now after seeing all the negative feedback. They clearly see that people don't like it, are they just gonna push ahead with it regardless?

MkDon · Post #1019 » by **MkDon** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 12:29 am

I don't think this red and black primary and gold and silver secondary logo is a good idea. It will be like the Dino and the claw logo. First they used the Dino logo but then they got tired of it and used only the claw logo, although the Dino logo was still our primary.

Drake also doesn't scare away white America/Canada....he's a light skinned dude who was a former actor, clean cut....guys like that sell records for a while.

Do you like the new logo?
