habsfan1 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 There's one thing I noticed about the classic NBA logo that kind of makes it outdated, by 2019 standards. Players today wear knee-length shorts... The League's primary logo still uses the Jerry West silhouette, in which the uniform shorts are noticeably shorter... The NBA primary logo doesn't match the current style of uniform at all. Why point it out? The NHL & NFL applied facelifts to their classic logos over time, without ruining their essence. It's time for the NBA to follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 But didn't players wear really baggy uniforms in the 1990's? The style of the uniforms are going to likely change constantly, so that would mean you'd have to constantly change the logo... which would be super tedious to always do.

dont care Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I don’t see any flaw in using the actual silhouette of Kerry west and what he wore. If any league tried to set up a logo that way and keep it consistent with the current style then the logo would never stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 This was a dumb joke on ESPN.com almost twenty years ago. Besides, Quote Flaw The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 I guess the opinion I have about the logo is a unpopular opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we changed logos due to the items no longer being the standard we'd have to change them every year. 12 minutes ago, Tracy MidGrady said: The flaw is that logo is jerry west He's a crap GM but he was a great player, otherwise the league wouldn't have picked him.

ShlyKBMT Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 High school players in Texas are starting to wear their shorts, shorter and shorter. I’m seeing it trickle into college when they move up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the only logo that actually is similar to the NBA's is MLB's and they haven't updated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by crap GM you mean one of the best... Won 8 titles as an executive, 2x Executive of the year, GM for the Showtime Lakers in the 80s, brought Kobe, Shaq and Phil Jackson to LA, turned the Grizzlies around, retired before joining the Warriors as a consultant and is credited with preventing them from trading Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in a deal for Kevin Love, and as part of the Clippers has turned their outlook of life post Lob City around and turned them into a premier free agent destination for this upcoming off season. West is considered one of the best front office minds in the history of basketball, and was a hell of a player to go along with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still attach him to the horrible Clippers teams so that kind of colored my opinion. But yes he did play a part in the Warriors team that exists now, I had just forgotten about him.

It's easier. Plus if that's the case, why aren't you arguing for the MLB logo to be changed either? Sleeves are longer. Helmets aren't the same shape. The silhouette is an homage to the league's history. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
