  1. I think the latest are the best. The big team name across the front is the way to go. It'll look great in the arena. I wish they'd throw players' jersey numbers on them somewhere though. Maybe the sleeve?
  2. Cool idea, Nike... https://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/118494-fresh-nba-concepts-utah-jazz-1030/#comment-2951736
  3. I'd argue the Mavs logo and colors have not withstood the test of time. They look dated today. But regardless, they're not a franchise that has had many changes in their history (once every 20 years or so), but I think their due for the next one. I'm not suggesting the Hornets will do a major "rebrand", but I could definitely see them overhaul their look again. I consider this a major overhaul: And I could definitely imagine another one of the same level (same colors, same name, new look) happening in the next 10 years. I feel the same way about the Grizzlies and the Pelicans. Both franchises have a good thing going, but that's usually not enough to keep middling franchises from trying to fix what isn't necessarily broke. They'll do "something big" someday, their identity isn't "done". I'm less certain about the Warriors, but something about their current branding doesn't feel like it's going to age well. They've already updated the fonts.
  4. I'd put the Mavs in the "likely to change again" category. Their look is solidly stuck in the 00's... and will probably get another overhaul (as it should). The Bulls so badly need a new logo. I know it's iconic (thanks, MJ), but it's one of the worst primary logos in all of sports, imo. I can't imagine a world in which the Spurs go off an do something crazy. They're going to be black and silver with a Spur logo forever, imo. And a splash of fiesta colors here and there. I also imagine we'll get rebrand of the Warriors, Grizzlies, Pelicans, and Hornets before toooo long. Nothing they have is so iconic it can't be changed... and in the NBA that usually means it will.
  5. White/Dark/White vs. Dark/White/Dark is a big pet peeve of mine. I dislike it in American football too. If one team is wearing white tops and socks, I don't want the other team in white shorts. I find it hard to track the players when they're close together. But I agree that those are both good looks individually for those teams.
  6. The treatment of the Thorns logo on the white jerseys reminds me a lot of the USWNT's "4 stars only" logo and campaign... team name is barely legible, the red pops highlight just the championships and the Thorns. There's at least an odd parallel between the symbolism of the 4 Stars Only campaign and the ongoing issues in the Thorns/Timbers front office (protecting abusers and predators). Obviously the club wouldn't do this on purpose, but it is curious to me at least.
  7. That Timbers / Austin matchup was beautiful on tv, just my 2 cents.
  8. I don't actually have any real issue with the whites, especially if they pair them with red shorts. Or white shorts/red socks... And I do like the design of the black jersey, but I agree with you that the team needs to be primarily in red. It's a shame not to have a primarily red kit for the fourth(?) year in a row. I'd love to see it reversed, with black thorns across a red base.
  9. And it's owned by a renowned soccer brand designer. Let the man play a little, he's earned it.
  10. That is nice. Great work, super clean, modern aesthetic... but also timeless.
  11. I hate to be critical, but what about this is "light years ahead" of anything? It's fine, it's clean, but it's just a fairly generic uniform design. Traditional block letters, traditional stripes, striped socks. This is safe as hell. It's a recolored Cowboys uniform. What about this is innovative at all? And again, it looks good. Not offense to Moseph, nice work. But jeez, this is a like if a big yawn was a football uniform. You must not know too many designers...
  12. It can be part of the official logo and not have to be on the jersey. Juventus is a pretty clean example - and it feels like that's the "look" the Crew were going for in their redesigned crest anyway. There's a time and a place to write out the team name in tiny letters above the crest... and the jersey just ain't it. It's different if the words are worked into the logo as part of the design, ala Arsenal. Quite different if you have a designed crest that works perfectly well as a standalone element and you still insist on wrapping it with tacked on text because, God forbid, someone somewhere sees a fan wearing a jersey on the street and says "what team is that?" Also, sorry, but that 96 badge sucks. What they have now actually works well, imo, they just need to utilize it properly.
  13. Black, yellow, and white... If I were going to rename my team the Utah Hornets, those are probably the colors I'd choose. Long live the Beehive State!
  14. Agreed... but I think it's actually dark navy, at lest according to this color picker.
