Carter23 Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 well, that cut and paste obviously don't work too well, but i think the actual logo with those colors looks better then what some of the people in the other thread were trying to do... the black i think makes it look alittle more 'mean' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 What's interesting is that when you copy and paste the address the image doesn't show up properly, but paste onto MS Paint, and it comes up fine. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think the grizz were in need of an identity change. This logo is not great, but the colors have promise in terms of what the uniform may look like. Lookin forward to seeing it. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Waffles Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 The wordmark doesn't look connected. Different font, different shape, strange proportion (the emphasis is on the city, not the name, which is unusual). And it isn't well connected to the logo either.Slap a body and a better wordmark on that sucker and we're in business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 The colours and "Grizzlies" text remind me of the pre-LeBron-era Cavs, not to mention the pre-Crap-era Blue Jays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gojetsgo Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I think the name "Grizzlies" has so much potential. In the world of professional sports, a team with a viscious animal as its nickname has to have a viscious animal as its logo. This bear looks like grumpy winnie-the-pooh. I also don't like how the "grizzlies" curves down like that - it seems unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCScout76 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Simple, maybe too simple. I like the color scheme.

gbasalmon Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 strange proportion (the emphasis is on the city, not the name, which is unusual). And it isn't well connected to the logo either. If I had to guess at a reason for this, it probably means the jerseys will still have Memphis on both the homes and the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Disappointing. Agree with gjg on the logo, it looks like a moody stuffed animal with dodgy contact lenses. And the 'Grizzlies' wordmark looks like an afterthought.Colours are nice though.(am I the only one who thinks the snout is too long?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Yup, the logo looks like it belongs in the ABA, and that's saying a lot. It B, B and S while ripping off the Timberwolves all at the same time. And don't get me wrong, I like the Wolves' insignia. Frankly, the Gwinnett Gwizzlies' logo is great compared to this! "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

buster04 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 so thats what happens when the Denver Nuggets and the Toronto Blue Jays have a bear cub. For those who dont get my sarcasm. Nuggets like colors and Blue Jays like font, 2003 and prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puckcool22 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 i love this color scheme except DENVER DID THE SAME THING LAST YEAR. Memphis should have tried to come up with its own color scheme instead of just going with the hip hop trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
