Unocal Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The Clippers went from one of the best jerseys in basketball to one of the worst. Almost the complete opposite of how we felt about the new Bucks uniform/logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 In context, the underlines of the wordmark make sense. The font is kind of "eh," but it's not horrible.As a standalone, the ball logo is actually a pretty strong logo.And seriously people, stop saying that this is the worst logo ever. JUST. STOP. It's not. It's many orders of magnitude better than the Thunder logo which I'm pretty sure inspired Jeffrey Loria to create that monstrosity in center field of his ballpark. The hyperbole that you people keep throwing out here is just plain tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxy8s Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 "The stacked LA takes the shape of a basketball court." A rectangle? I love the explanations they write.The uniforms look like something from a basketball video game that doesn't have NBA licensing rights and strays as far away as possible from what a uniform looks like to avoid a lawsuit.God bless Clipper fans. Hope this doesn't stick for their sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedSportsNow Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Strangest rebrand I've ever seen. The whole thing has just been one big amateur mess. He 'unveiled' the logo on Conan while wearing the polo the entire interview which was odd. They try to make the LA graphic a court? Why because it's a rectangle? The silver lining explanation? Seriously. It's so generic. And then to stick with the same jersey template instead of literally starting over is just strange. Now it just feels like a Chinese knockoff instead of a whole new look. Unveiling the unis via a photoshopped graphic and a Funny or die video? The whole thing as others have stated is just... Laughably bad. You have the Sixers rebrand which has been very well thought out and then there's this. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafiaman Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Not sure how a the "CLA" logo constitutes as Embracing LA, but it makes for a good laugh nonetheless.You're right, LMU, the exaggerations about the new logo are ridic-GOOD HEAVENS IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!

Old School Fool Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I know the logo is bad for sports standards but it looks like a corporate brand logo more than anything, it doesn't give me the vibe of a sports team at all. I like it in that sense, but man, that's not a sports logo at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewMLind Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It does improve upon one thing, though, which is removing the secondary logo from underneath the collar. Was never a fan of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hyperbole that you people keep throwing out here is just plain tedious.It's bland as hell, cheap-looking, and the uniforms are lazy, but it's the astonishingly absurd, over-the-top brandspeak that offends me the most. Stop talking. Stop gushing about how you're reinventing the wheel when everything you're showing, including the uniform mockups, says "15 minutes in MSPaint."

TaylorMade Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Wait... Are they using last year's uniform and slapping the new logo/wordmark on them?Yep. "Total rebrand," except... you know... not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The curved lines in the primary Clippers wordmark symbolize the horizon of the ocean as seen from the bridge of a Clipper ship alluding to the teams nautical theme roots.Well there you go. The new logo *is* a ship.It's a piece of ship, that's for sure! 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCDuck Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The thing is, the "CLA" inside the basketball doesn't read at all. The shapes are too close together and the "LA" melts into itself. So you get this red-blue blob-thing inside a black and white basketball, which screams "we ripped this concept straight from the Brooklyn Nets".Ballmer paid over $2 Billion (BILLION!) for this franchise; he couldn't afford to at least update the jersey frames?

TaylorMade Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The red ones are even worse with a single digit number. I realize this is a replica jersey but you can tell how off-center the entire thing is when the number isn't two digits to balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the shape of a basketball court" I'm sorry but that's just a stretch. The court is A FREAKING RECTANGLE nothing special. The court used in the graphic even uses the old college 3-point line! Definitely some BS they just slapped together to dupe a few more Lakers fanwagoners over to their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
