29texan Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 They still have the cheep, mid-2000s EA Sports logo, so I'll give it a C+. The logo drags it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This is just ok. That's still a huge improvement given the dumpster fire they had before so upgrade none the less. The logo still sucks though. Also I don't understand why they've relegated the nautical flags to just above the jock tag. That should be the Clippers' signature design element.

Update the logo and use a better wordmark. This is a good step in fixing things from their awful rebrand a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Was a white jersey shown off, or just the light blue and dark blue? Be interesting if the Clippers don't have a white jersey. I was actually okay with the secondary logo, and glad it's being retained. I do think, overall, the uniforms have been cleaned up a lot, much better than the initial effort. The Clippers dropping black was good, as well as bringing back the nautical flags (sort of) that they had during the San Diego days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the colors are on opposite side if you turned the AA logo counter-clockwise on its side, with the pointy area facing upwards. I don't think it was the designers' intent, but the inspiration came from somewhere. Hell, the AA logo (sans the wordmark) would actually make a good patch logo on the jerseys. Zoom in on the photo and you will find out exactly where the inspiration for the short design came from. If we keep normalizing and accepting corporate advertising on places it’s not needed, every freaking square inch of the planet will be covered by it. There was a time when billboards and magazines and even web banners were enough. Next thing you know, there are going to be wheat pastes on the walls of Mammoth Cave and dissolvable ads floating on the Grand Prismatic. /rant 17 hours ago, swilson160 said: Love, love, love.

They wouldn't have two different number fonts, would they? From the looks of it, the back number is a single color version of the previous number style (which matches the wordmark), but the front numbers have corners that are much more square, similar to those used on the final script uniform, or even similar to the C in their monogram logo. Baffling. Overall, this is a definite upgrade, but not without its flaws. Eliminating black was a good move, but now it looks out of place on the logo. They need to recolor that. The highlight on the wordmark needs to go, maybe even the wordmark itself. I like the split color design on the shorts, but the forms don’t evoke nautical imagery to me as much as regular stripes would have. It doesn't bring to mind a sail enough for it to be shaped that way, in my opinion. I really love the light blue accent stripes, though. That adds depth and is a great complement. I do wish the nautical flags would have been more of a star here. I’m guessing they will be on one of the other uniforms, but it could be their signature, as was previously mentioned.

Look at the detail shots compared to the player photos. That indicates to me that it’s the studio lighting giving them the blue cast.

truepg Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Only a slight upgrade. Still, a lateral move. There was nothing wrong with the last script wordmark unis. No need to re-invent the bicycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Meh. It's not terrible, but if they really needed to have the "LAC" logo on the front of a jersey, the way it was laid out on the old red jerseys was much better than this. The layout on the new alternate doesn't work as well, especially with single-digit numbers, because of all the empty space on either side of the logo.

WSU151 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Steve Ballmer's line that the C is "embracing LA" in the logo (more like molesting) is still one of the worst marketing lines ever used by a pro sports team. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
