TheRealPepman Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Raptors' 2014-15 court - soon-to-be-old alternate logo with soon-to-be-new wordmark that obviously debuted the next season. 1993-94 Flames - Black added on the "sash" to indicate potential rebrand, which happened next year. Have there been any other instances like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4One Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Not sure if this counts or what you mean, but after backlash from fans, New York Islanders put their old iconic logo on the fisherman jerseys in 1996 before switching back to their old uniforms in 1998, just in darker colours. The Vancouver Canucks made their original blue jersey into their alternate in 2006, one year before switching back to their original colour scheme and jerseys with the Reebok Edge makeover. Unfortunately, the Orca remained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 In 1979 and 1980, the Mariners wore the trident-star logo on the left sleeve and on the helmet, while retaining the original trident logo on the cap. The trident-star logo would not appear on the cap until 1981. Here is a shot of Maury Wills during 1981 spring training wearing the 1981 cap with the 1980 uniform. The Mets introduced the racing stripe uniform on the road in 1982, while retaining the two-button pullover with no racing stripe at home. The racing stripe would appear on the home uniform as of 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandyDelphia Mike Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Forgive the video game render. 76ers debuted in the (then) CoreStates Center in 1996 wearing red-white-blue but on a black-heavy court. They'd switch to the black/gold heavy super-turn-of-the-2000s logo/unis the following season.

BBTV Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Can't find a photo, but the Minnesota North Stars had the ST^RS logo on the ice while still wearing the N* jerseys in the SCF against Pittsburgh.

VDizzle12 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Feel like both LA teams did this. Obviously the Rams handled it terribly. The Chargers definitely foreshadowed the new uniforms by promoting the powder blues last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Not just promoting the powders, but swapping the facemask to yellow as foreshadowing for the rebrand. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of the Nuggets, they had their own version of a transitional redesign. The first year with Nike, the team went with a navy blue recolor of their previous set. The next year, they unveiled a new rebrand, complete with navy as the new primary color. There was also a period of 2 years before this where the team briefly wore a powder blue version of the first Nike set, but with more yellow and navy.

I would say that if Washington does end up changing their name, then what they're doing now could be called transitional. However, if they decide to remain as WFT and not change anything significantly, then this isn't transitional. So in other words, it remains to be seen whether what WFT is doing is transitional.

TheLAKnight Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 One year before changing to a black and silver color scheme, the Kings recolored their primary logo to feature mostly black and silver. Minor changes, like the addition of wings to fully enclose the shape, were made before it was showcased when Gretzky came to town to the following year. The mothership has these primary logos listed as being used from 1975-87, 1987-88, and 1988-98, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching that live. I recall a rectangle with that logo on the boards. Being into logos and uniforms, it struck me. I think I knew they were changing their uniforms but for some reason, it did not occur to me that this was going to be the new logo. I thought it was just something they threw out there as a cutesy thing because fans so frequently referred to them as "the Stars." Another one, but maybe this doesn't count because it might be common...In 1987 I knew the Twins were getting new uniforms, but obviously, leaks didn't get out to the masses back then so I tuned into a spring training game just to see the new uniforms. And they were wearing the previous set (Batting practice jersey and "TC" hats/helmets. They may have been wearing pinstriped pants; I'm not certain. But I recall being really let down that I was going to have to wait another month to see the new uniforms. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

ieatstaples Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 This may be a bit of a stretch but how about the Ottawa Senators introducing a red alternate jersey with a forward facing logo in 1997, it eventually becoming the primary home jersey in 1999, and the same look essentially being used for the Reebok rebrand in 2007?
