The name Pacers is unique and they COULD have a great identity. But the only real identity they ever had was an arm holding a giant yellow tennis ball. Now their only logo is a basketball will lines which made sense when their jerseys had pinstripes, but they don't even have those anymore. I'm from Indiana,and I think the name is so unique. The name "pacers" comes from the pace car,which is used in auto racing events,such as the Indianapolis 500,held in Indianapolis. The logo is solid,but it needs to make sense with the name. So hopefully the next time they change their identity,they change it to a race car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rj0498 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It is sort of like the pistons. I actually thought their change to teal gave them a good logo that made sense as nd created good unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via the Pacers website "According to Indianapolis attorney, Richard D. Tinkham, the nickname “Pacers” was decided on through a collective decision of the original investors. Tinkham, one of those investors, recalled that the nickname was a combination of the state’s rich history with the harness racing pacers (investor Chuck Barnes was a horse racing enthusiast) and the pace car used for the running of the Indianapolis 500." http://www.nba.com/pacers/history/pacers_name_history.html @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have to ask yourself what a "baby cake" is... Many online dictionaries say: babycakes noun A sweetheart or other cherished person •A term of endearment: Hey, baby-cakes, let's see those pecs/ So, these images do not show a girlfriend, a significant other, a lover etc etc. Let's also clarify that we do not call it a "baby cake", but rather a king cake, and the doll inside is a king cake baby. "Baby Cakes" was chosen by Brandiose (from San Diego) and GM Cookie Rojas (from Cuba, I believe), not the locals. But, I'm just a local that is embarrassed that I support a team where they'll be chanting "LET'S GO BABY CAKES" *clap clap clap clap* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Colorado Avalanche We've all thought their uniforms were near the bottom of the league for a long time but they didn't deserve to be on this list until recently. I didn't think it was possible for their main uniforms to get any worse but that's exactly what happened when they replaced their shoulder patches. Now were left with a Navy-heavy logo on a uniform devoid of navy. Brilliant planning. Even the alternates everyone gushes over look drab and depressing and deserve further damnation for the flag shoulder patch. Adding red and yellow brings the identity's swatch count to 7. Red, Yellow, Burgundy, Silver, Slate Blue, Black, Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 NFL: Cowboys- They have a nice logo and name, but their home and road uniforms look like they're from different teams. They have these nice dark blue jerseys they refuse to wear, and then there's these white ones with royal blue numbers and stripes, which inexplicably have thin black outlines. Worst part is, apparently that's a tradition for them so they refuse to change anything. NBA: Thunder- Too many colors, nothing about it says Thunder. MLB: Rockies- No purple on your home uniforms? Why? NHL: Jets- Logo isn't very exciting, neither are the colors, jerseys look dumb. MLS: Sounders- Colors are alright, but the logo looks a little phoned-in. As if they created the crest before deciding what to name the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Pacers fan, but at this point I think that Pacers "P" is pretty iconic and I hope they never change it, other than maybe a tweak here and there. I feel that it's one of those logos that is instantly recognizable and that the Pacers are one of those "classic" teams that doesn't need to force an image of their nickname into their logo to make it work. If anything, I think if they came out with a primary logo that featured a race car, it would look extremely gimmicky, silly, and forced. Maybe have some alternate logo that is a subtle nod to racing (something along the lines of featuring a checkered flag, or something like that), but not something so in-your-face as a literal race car. If they ever wanted to do that, they should have done it in the 90s during the cartoony/uber-animated NBA logos era. But I'm glad they didn't.

Yeah,for me (a little biased because I'm a Hoosier) the Pacers logo is so iconic for us here in Indiana that I couldn't see anything else. But I do support your idea for the alternate logo. That would look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
