Red Wolf Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I got my hopes up for decent branding for Memphis' G-League team after how nice Iowa's new logos were. Consider me disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltjets21 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Why do the Cavs keep wearing Navy in the Finals? In Three Years they are 1-5 wearing them..give the wine at least one go before the desperation to the Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider me disappointed. Maybe unpopular opinion, but I really like the "Hustle's" brand. Its fresh, fun, and nostalgic in a non gimmicky way.

I thought that's what everybody would be doing going forward. It kind of reminds me of the Memphis Sounds which is cool. I suppose it makes more sense to be more separate in their branding when they're as close together as the Memphis teams are compared to Minnesota and Iowa. 2 hours ago, mike2sana said: Maybe unpopular opinion, but I really like the "Hustle's" brand. Its fresh, fun, and nostalgic in a non gimmicky way. I like the idea of a 70s-style brand reminiscent of the old Memphis Sounds. I just don't like the execution of the logo. Having a wordmark inside the Grizzly silhouette just comes off as lazy and looks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I wouldn't mind seeing the Grizzles make a change to their brand, to better represent the regional culture of Memphis. Even a name change would be welcome to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labc93 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 So the last few days I've been going over social media (especially Washington Wizards) and came across a logo that was used during these playoffs but not during the season. I believe it's one of their new logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get back red as their primary color (a lack of red has happened not just in the NBA, but in the major pro sports as well) and call it a day!!!

With that being said, go back to the Sounds nickname (fits the city well), but let's forget the mid 70s numeric font and NOB lettering, and go modern with red obviously as their primary color.

Sorry for the delay - I mean in terms of logo. Thought Clippers were making a change to the primary. I thought a concept was visible on some screenshot (maybe regarding Pistons leak) posted here a little while back. I'll just see my way out now.

upperV03 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 A couple interesting things in this Fox Sports interview with the NBA's vice president of global partnerships, Lisa Piken Koper. The interview is about the upcoming switch to Nike and the logistics behind it. She mentions that the global launch will be 10/1/17, but I believe that only applies to the retail side and not the actual unveiling of the uniforms. I could be wrong on that though. And then at the end of the interview she mentions that Nike will be taking over as the official on-court sock provider starting next season. Stance can continue to make NBA licensed lifestyle socks, but Nike will be in charge of the on-court product. http://www.foxsports.com/nba/gallery/heres-what-we-know-about-the-nbas-uniform-switch-to-nike-next-season-060617 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty disappointing development. I thought Stance did good work making unique designs that fit with the existing uniforms and made a nice product. Interested to see if Nike continues the team specific socks or goes back to generic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to see if Nike continues the team specific socks or goes back to generic ones. Let's just hope they aren't just some version of their elite socks. That's what Nike outfits their college and international teams in, but hopefully they come up with something a bit more basic for the NBA. Some team-specific socks would be nice, but I wouldn't be surprised if those just end up including the team colors rather than actual unique design elements.

The sports market is centered around new NFL and college products in August and September, so I'm not sure it would make sense for Nike to try to out-muscle the football side during the late summer months. Interesting about Stance. I wonder if this was a money deal, or a players-not-impressed-with-Stance deal. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
