habsfan1 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think it makes a huge difference when designers show some TLC while assembling together a new brand. Preferably, it's better when the reception is rather positive from the viewers. The Sabres at the time got fed up of the all the heat and did away with the Slug. But it is case by case.

And uniform numbers are handled this way in the NFL, too (see Chad Johnson/Ochocinco). It makes sense given the large amount of inventory remaining. The first part is true.

A Proud Mets Fan!! Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I don't know about you guys, but if the Thunder could maybe switch to a Teal, Orange, and Red color scheme, it'll be refreshing compared to what they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver_The_Sinaloa Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 While looking at Thunder jerseys i may have come across a new Statement jersey. granted, this is a bootleg site. what’s weird about it is i saw this same jersey a few pages back. https://www.nbaprojersey.shop/shai-gilgeous-alexander-orange-statement-thunder-jersey-p7756 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo is verrrrrrrrry pedestrian, but I do love OKC’s colors — the double blue looks really good next to the orange and gold, IMO.

I'm in agreement with everyone who responded here that the colors are nice. I have yet to hear a single person anywhere tho, explain how it's a good logo and their reasons why.

The colors are great, but the logo sucks ... and honestly, Thunder doesn’t really work with the colors either. The whole reason why they went with the colors was to mimic a Oklahoma sunset. I don’t visually think of sunset colors when I think of Thunder. "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

I don’t visually think of sunset colors when I think of Thunder. I think powder blue, navy, and yellow used in specific amounts has the potential to work with the theme of Thunder or a storm theme in general. Orange/red might be better as an accent color. They've nailed some of their alt designs, so I see the potential. Just a matter of putting the pieces together maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, this logo survived for an entire decade and will probably survive the next one too. It was meant to be a stand in logo until they came up with a real logo after the name was chosen. The name was chosen late but the team almost instantly became good so people bought the merchandise and changing the logo in the middle of all that success wouldn’t have been good. Now since they are rebuilding from nothing I suspect a change will be happening soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_DietDrPepper_ Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The double blue and orange can look really good, it’s the uniforms and look that ruin it. The name is pretty lame too, too bad it’s stuck, unless maybe a record long losing period is following their first ten years of greatness *crosses fingers* Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnclearInitial Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The thing that really sucks about the Wolves uniforms is that it would be a perfect update for the Mavericks. Instead the Mavericks will probably either ditch the double blue that was part of their most successful period or fail to incorporate the green they started with because for some reason someone in Minnesota thought board shorts and co-opting the Mavericks color was a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban just make the check payable to Conrad Burry @Conrad. It reminds me of a Duke jersey set if you take away the green. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
