Darn, that’s too bad we’ll never see it! I was looking forward to it because I figured there’d be a good chance it would’ve been purple (or even green). Oh well. Maybe they’ll whip something up and finally let go of the red rocks for the 100th anniversary! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Idk if this has been noted before, but it looks like the Knicks finally updated their wordmark, now using a font more akin to the organization's current brand image. It's a small but welcome change. Was shown during the NBA Draft where every team's wordmark was displayed: OLD: NEW: 6 Quote NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad. Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 ^ looking at the official logosheet, both wordmarks are technically still in the style guide (in addition to an oblique version of the "old" wordmark), but I too am happy they have a block-type wordmark option now, too. Much more reflective of the rest of their branding. 6 Quote Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much went from the best ad they could get (rokit which was small, team colors, and a nice tie in for the team name) to the worst. 2 Quote Excellent!

FinsUp1214 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Oh man, that new Rockets patch is bad. Looks more like a sticker or button. I get that some of these companies likely want to express thier branding to the fullest when used as jersey ads (keeping the patch in brand colors), but it’s hard for me to believe there aren’t monochromatic white or black logo versions that could’ve been used instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCalderwood Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think the whole point of the ad patch is for it to be a little obnoxious and draw attention to itself, just like any other ad in any other format. So even if there were logo versions that would blend in better, I'm not sure they'd want to use them, because "blending in" is not really the purpose of the ad; if anything, that is kind of what they're trying not to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably better if this didn't even happen. For a lot of teams it will just end up being a completely gaudy looking mess...especially those that have had different color schemes over the years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I 100% understand that, I get the approach for sure. I don’t think a monochromatic ad is going to blend in as much as some companies must feel, though. Player close-ups on broadcasts happen all the time; free throws, interviews, after the whistle, instant replay, etc. A monochromatic ad would still be very visible and readable in those cases, without the need for large white backgrounds or starkly contrasting colors. So while I completely understand where the approach is coming from, I also don’t think it’s as necessary as it’s made out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primzahl Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Is this Warriors setup part of the same thing as these other mash-up jerseys we've seen (Mavs/Cavs/Lakers/Heat/etc) or are they, and possibly the Knicks/Celtics, getting a special 5th jersey since they're original BAA franchises? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less “mashup-y” than the leaks Reading into the press release on the new jerseys, it's really hard to tell whether Origins is limited to the Warriors for their 75th anniversary or is the start of a rebrand for the Classic Edition. I'm suspecting the former more than the latter. Here's what it had to say about the entirety of the team's 2021-22 uniform set: Quote In addition to the Classic Edition (Origins) jersey, the Warriors’ 2021-22 uniform set features five jerseys, including the Statement (The Bay), Icon (road blue), and Association (home white) jerseys that have been previously worn by the team. The Warriors will unveil the 2021-22 City Edition jersey later this fall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is a classic edition rebrand after all. It is really interesting that they note the city edition will release later on unless it’s just a mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it's interesting to see Nike rollout the classic Nike/swoosh wordmark for throwback sets. I know Nike uses it pretty liberally on its retro/reissue footwear and lifestyle apparel, but I haven't seen it so much on team-branded performance products. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Classic Edition line already existed, but only for a limited number of teams: Lakers (powder blue), Nets (Drazen Petrovic tye-dye) and Grizzlies (initial Memphis designs) were among the teams that had them last year. I wonder if it's only a three-teams-a-year kind of thing and these are the three for 2021-22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
