Coacher42 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I was just surfing around SportsLogos.net, checking out some old NBA logos and came to the Clippers. When I was in 9th grade (ages ago, though it still seems like yesterday to me), I noticed that the ball in the logo is completely wrong! Not only are the seams of the ball out of wack, but there is an extra seam under the "p" and the "e" part of the script. Am I the only one who has noticed this? And if not, why hasn't the league or the Clippers organization changed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I never noticed that before. It you try to draw continuous curves connecting the incomplete lines, you'll see that the bottom has too many "ends" than the top. Now I'm going to focus on that every time I see the logo.It's kind of like that "How many legs does this elephant have?" optical illusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coacher42 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 Sorry folks. Just had to vent to people who'd understand what the hell I'm talking about and who might feel some sort of sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Doesnt suprise me. The Clippers have had one of the worst logo sets in sports since they began,but no one has really noticed how bad their logos are because of how bad the team is. Somehow it just seems fitting.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Wow...Looking at that actually makes me uncomfortable.

SouthSidePride Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 This is one of the more amazing catches I have seen or heard of in a long time. DAMN YOU CLIPPERS! WHY MUST YOU BE SO BLAND? On top of that, be correct if you are going to be bland... Just a shame. HereCometheHawks.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Great. Now that you pointed out, I can't look at it without going crosseyed. I wonder why no one ever pointed it out here before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Squared Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Just wanted to say that it probably isn't supposed to be an extra seam. The Los Angeles Clippers banner seems to be covering up the top part of the seam that is farthest left. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Why is using this so hard?Because it's terrible. I had to read the description on CC's logo section before I knew what it was supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 At the risk of being repetitive...never noticed. Now it'll bug me until they change their logo.Look here: Twins and tell me whether the ball is wrong on the twins' logo.

slapshot Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 It's kind of weird on the Twins logo. It's not that the seams are incorrect...you just see more than is logically possible. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 At the risk of being repetitive...never noticed. Now it'll bug me until they change their logo.Look here: Twins and tell me whether the ball is wrong on the twins' logo.I believe the pattern of the seams of a real baseball is like that.

OnWis97 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Yes, but I don't think you can see that much of the pattern at one while viewing the stagnant ball.
