I would watch the hell out of a documentary about board culture in general. If you spent 2005-2006 arguing with a guy from Kitchener, Ontario eight years your senior whose avatar was the cover of If You're Feeling Sinister subtitled "turning down sex like my name's Al Bundy," you have lay awake wondering what possibly could have become of that guy. Maybe such a movie would find the answer.

 

We've talked before about a movie or documentary, what it would be like, and who would play board members.  I think the thread is in the Goldmine, but it could be fun to start a new one.

I know both of those references 😆

Somewhere there's a message board that is abandoned for 364 days a year but for an annual reunion where all the 2006 Forum Guys convene to post "come at the king you best not miss" and "Omar comin'," ask after one another's wives and children, and then leave.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that they found a pallette that is perfectly optimized- the contrast with the Navy and light blue makes the red pop in an orangey way.  They're still r/w/b but they're no longer another generic r/w/b and ties together most of their historical identities.

Nah.  They can even be an inch shorter.  The problem is that the awfulness of the tights is inversely proportional to the length of the shorts, so they'd look bad.  I have no problem with guys wearing tights - I do it from time to time at the gym, even in warm-ish weather - but there needs to be some way to make it more of a part of the uniform.

 

I've commented on the long arms thing before.  Usually with the NFL reveals, where they have the guys flexing with their arms down, they're practically at their ankles.  It's not natural, and I'm not sure why they do it.

What do you guys think of these minor edits ? Just added an outline to the wordmark. 

The red and navy uniforms look good, but if the red and blue are separated by a white outline, then the biggest proponent of why they chose navy instead of royal blue goes out the window (that being navy contrasts with the mid-tone red better than royal, another mid-tone).  

 

As for the white uniform, the double outline is a bit too muddled and works better un-outlined in my opinion.

I think those shorts are too short, and looks like his was bread with a gorilla with how long his arms are

"his was bread with a gorilla"
 

Gorilla sandwich? 

Breaking bread/having a meal with a great ape?

Just a quick idea I had trying to combine the San Diego colors and the unused '90s colors with the new logo:

I liked the one on the left better first, but now I'm starting to prefer the sublety of how the seafoam green and light blue almost blend into each other in the one on the right.

I would have made the C logo in the middle black on a white background. It'll look like the Nets but at least there are more colors on that roundel.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, should've been the basis for the main team's logo. As if someone was writing down all the notes after the official unveil for this....

Disagree. That '70s style logo fits much better in the G-League at this point alongside other retro-kitsch brands like the GoGo and the Hustle. The big league club's new logo is more suitable for the modern NBA.

Other than the LA-monogram, I suggest a swap. The parent club logos are farm league level, can have them all down to the compass C. Add another secondary logo with the script capital C wrapping around the sail shape, and we're good.

 

I bet the farm club logos was the direction the design agency wanted for the main rebrand, and the path taken instead was the "vision" of the ownership.

The 'D' of San Diego actually stands for Due North. You can tell by its placement in the logo.


Drink it in, it always goes down smoothly.
