Red Wolf Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I always love articles like this. The craziest part is that even when the end product isn't very good, it's usually better than anything else they had on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd77 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The purple / lime green / black color scheme actually looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 As cheesy as the dribbling dino is, I much prefer it to their stupid clawed ball. Plus it's waaaaaay more marketable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually liked the Rockets' logo of that era just not on the front of a jersey like it was a hockey set or something. The stripes on that one were pretty terrible too. The Raptors set was definitely unique. The current logo should be a 2nd maybe on their shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Fun fact.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Kinda funny he took the face from an abandoned logo. Even if he designed them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count me among those because the Nets is a terrible name and the fact that their logo has never actually had a net in it as far back as I can remember makes it even worse. That weird Cavs clipart logo in the 90s was the best NJ Nets logo ever but alas it was instead a Cavs logo and had nothing to do with a Cavalier, but I digress...

"Swamp Dragons" sounds pretty minor league-ish, and that logo would’ve aged like milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Nets being the Nets, they ultimately killed the idea at the last possible moment - when during a conference call gave an up or down vote on the change, it had to be unanimous, and every one of the other owners of the time said, "Okay," which prompted the Nets rep on the BoG saying "no" and thus veto'ing their own proposal. But it's the Nets. If you expect competence? Look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
