BadSeed84 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Would anyone have complained if they used the same logos for one more season? I know they wanted to move from the sterling era, but a well more thought out and more professional identity would've been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb6 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 This whole thing, apart from the promotion, has been handeled terribly. The consensus seems to be that they should have went with a nautical theme, while keeping the current cursive wordmarks. Instead, they gave us a clipart basketball with CLA inside of it, with CUPPERS rendered in a cheap-looking typeface (thanks to the bevel that is terribly inconsistent). The uniforms are a complete joke, adding on the new, and a lot worse, wordmarks on, and disregarding and cohesion between the sets. Basically, everything here is a downgrade to me, and was changed just to be changed. I agree that a new primary logo would have been a nice, but I'll take the old "Lakers rip-off" over these any day. And I definitely believe that they now have the worst identity in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1insaneguy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The new worst logo in professional sports!The Buffaslug can now die in peace.*In all fairness the Buffaslug wasn't too bad, yes, I know its unpopular* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinturner95 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 This Cippers and Raptors rebranding could go down as two of the worst all time.I'll take what the Raptors did over what the Clippers did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJAnfield Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The NBA season may have ended Tuesday, but the Clippers just got beaten soundly by the Sixers. Philly won't need to give out free cupcakes or do any other stupid gimmics to win their fans over with their jerey redo either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxy8s Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Do the numbers on the home jerseys have black outlines or not? Or will the replica have an outline that isn't on the real thing?No black outline on the one they used at Lance's press conference today.Looks blue in the online store, though. A different shade of blue than the one used in the logo, no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29texan Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 They didn't even bother to redesign the uniform... I guess we know now where the organization cut its budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJAnfield Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 it's just we don't like change, yea that's it.Arash MarkaziVerified account @ArashMarkazi I asked Ballmer about thew new logo's reception on social media. "Many people really dont like change in this world, they really dont." Delusional to a fault. Yeah he's full of bull......oney.I like change when change improves a current product in need of a makeover or a modernization. I'm pretty sure that's how everyone in general feels about change too. If I was a Clippers fan, I'd consider jumping ship. The problem is that the fanbase is not strong enough to protest against the poor redesign. Not every team could get away with it, without having to face the pitchforks.Also, does anybody like it? If not on this board, are there any positive comments on social media or whatnot that someone could find? Non sports logos fans included.I checked their Facebook page out of morbid curiosity earlier, and it was brutal. Maybe one out of twenty gave a semi-decent comment. Same with the news articles online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshey Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm ashamed to admit this but I don't think the black is terrible... But the new numbers and the other jerseys are. GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaSteve Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just watching Sports Center, the anchor openly talked about how awful the logo is. Standing by your product is admirable, and there are always haters. But when it's THIS universally panned, someone royally f-ed up. That's embarrassing for the organization as a whole.

UnclearInitial Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Wait, the presentation says that the Clippers blue C literally embraces the city ? They actually wrote something like that? From that alone I'm going to assume Ballmer's 14 year old niece created the logos, but didn't know how to design jerseys, thus keeping the old one and just adding the old one, and Steve couldn't say no to herI don't hate the CLA logo, and I find the red jersey to be the only tolerable thing in this redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing by your product is admirable, and there are always haters. But when it's THIS universally panned, someone royally f-ed up. That's embarrassing for the organization as a whole.Even for the whole league. These suck really really badly. The fact that they haven't even bothered changing the uniforms is especially stunning. I'd go ahead and say this is the worst uniforms/logos set in the big four pro sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The logo to me looks like that snake game.vIts funny how out of the 2 reveals in the past 24 hours of the lippers and 76ers that they were both the complete opposite of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djam2410 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 These are so bad I HAVE to think they will change the jersey template entireley next year and/or modify the logo at least a little Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I reiterate what I said when these first leaked: these are terrible. Probably the worst uniforms in the league. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJKiddsHead Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 lol @ Ballmer's "people hate change" comment.this isn't like people resisting electric cars or email. it's sports design. there's no principle or societal good to fight for here. your team's new look is ugly. sports media, the design community, and most importantly, your fans, think the change is ugly. swallow your pride and change it back (or do something better) as soon as possible.

2001mark Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Tony Kornheiser said something pretty silly on PTI 'Uniforms don't put ppl in seats'.No, but like seats, uniforms can print money if done properly.With all due respect, we're not talking about an NBA team playing out of Milwaukee or Minnesota... it's Los Angeles. Yet they f'd up. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
