Plaid Paint Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The Heat are the only NBA team to have the NBA logo be on the right side of their jerseys. I've asked a number of people, including posting the question on the Heat's message boards, and the best response that I've gotten is that the flame thingee coming off the top of the "T" would somehow interfere with the NBA logo. But looking at pictures, that explanation doesn't hold much water with me. There would be more then enough space for both the NBA logo and the flame thingee on the left side.Thoughts?

ColeJ Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 i doubt it's because of the T... look at the mavs third jerseys... they're overloaded with things in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jWilson4mvp Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I don't think the T is the problem. If they put it in the exact same spot on the other side, it wouldnt be a prob. at all. Rah rah rah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Paint Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Here's a link to a pic of a Heat jersey with the NBA logo on the left side of the jersey.It is a replica jersey, but it doesn't awkward to me.Linkage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoDogg34 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 The Suns jerseys of the 90's had the NBA logo on the other side...because the logo slanted up from left to right the logo was too high to put the NBA logo there...so they moved it to the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I think the flame on the 'T' is probably why. Remember, this is the NBA, a league that puts its logo on players' socks. Branding is very important to them, and I'm sure they don't want their logo to be even the least bit crowded by a team's wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I could be wrong, but I feel like on their original jersey, the flame from "T" was bigger, so maybe it interfered then and they just sort of left it.Because I agree, it could easilly be on the left now.

Those uniforms are great. Plus it kept in line the ol' tradition that "suns" could be read exactly the same upside-down, or right-side up (obviously). Smart is believing half of what you hear.

jWilson4mvp Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Okayyyyyyy, back to the topic....It doesn't look like it could be the T. Maybe a while ago, but not anymore. Rah rah rah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I haven't noticed and whoever did has too much time on their hands Guess what - you're on a sports logos and uniform message board. You may be the only one here who didn't notice that.Thanks for your contribution!

Perfect Zero Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Looking at the uniforms, the only real reason I could see the teams wearing the logo on the other side is to make it look symetrical. The thing on the "T" and the basketball on the old Suns jersey make it too loaded on that side. The other side needs some love, and that's where they put it.That's my guess.

WSU151 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Interesting thing is that the NBA logo is also on the right side for Miami's alternate red jersey, which doesn't have a "T" - (the wordmark is just MIAMI). Perhaps they left it on the right for uniformity of the uniforms?? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
