Timing is right I'll update if I hear more.Funny how that same look carried them in good stead for the majority of the franchise's existence. A few lean years (thanks to inept management), and now they're due an overhaul?My only thing i'd change would be going back to the older font typeface (80's era) and quit slanting the "swirl" logo.

TPE Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Heh, normally teams switch TO red and black, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 If it means gettin' rid of one of the 57328947 red & black teams in the NBA then I'm all for an overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 portland without red and black is hard to imagine.Agreed, but wouldn't the Blazers have had to notify the NBA of an identity swap before they even had a good shot at Oden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 It wouldn't be for this next season, I would imagine...they would have needed to notify the league at least a year ahead of time. And as far as I know, they're not on the "list" for 2007-2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt Denver change theres when they found out they had one of the top 3 picks in 2003 or was it just a coincidence? I know Cleveland was planned before Lebron in 2003.

buckeyes Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 i think that its about time. I've always though that their uniforms and logos have been outdated. I'd be a glad if they could pull of an overhaul like what the cavaliers did. -The Few, The Proud, The Paint Users.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 This makes no sense because they have always been red and black. It would be different if they were going back to colors they used in the past, but those have been their colors since 71. What colors could they possibly switch to?

harperdc Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 They can't change colors. The Rose City's NBA franchise is the Portland Trail Blazers, has always been, should always be, and they should be in white, red and black.Now, though, I think they can do some things to improve and change the look to re-improve the image, and that's namely to go back to a lowercase, rounder font style.that's what was used throughout the '80s, eventually making way for the first iteration of the all-caps look started in '91-92.I'd love us to go to something like that sort of font, and return the pinwheel to it's former locked and upright position. If the front office at One Center Court want to change the identity of the franchise - in the "corporate attitude" sense as opposed to the graphic design/sports business meaning - then they need to retain the traditional aspects but go back to the earlier, slightly softer look.While there may be an abundance of red-and-black in the NBA, dammit, we've been that way for more than 30 years and I'll be damned if I want us to change just because too many other people have adopted those colors. We've got an iconic look - and that includes the pinwheel and the stripe across the chest.the only thing I will grant, though, is that if they *do* want to change the colors, my vote goes for Mavs alt-esque blue and green, as those plus yellow are the colors of the flag of the city of Portland. I still think they shouldn't change, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
