eRay Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ok, I have been thinking about this for a while. The Nets are probably moving to Brooklyn around 2009 or so, and I wanted to do a concept for themfor after the move. I thought about doing a whole new identity, possibly involving a new name. I decided it would be best to keep the name Nets and make the logo fit Brooklyn a little bit. I am working on jerseys as we speak, and should be done by tomorrow if I have enough time. I just wanted some feedback on the logo before I got too deep. The big part fo the logo is obviously taken from the Nets current logo, the clouds and flying basketball come from an unused Charlotte Flight logo, and the building styling idea was admittedly borrowed from the Comedy Central logo. I thought the buildings would represent Brooklyn as a borough well, and I think the flying basketball gets rid of the whole "The rim in the Nets logo doesn't have a net" thing. Well, C&C please, and stay tuned for the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again the name Nets is rather generic, so playing off the location would be the way to go. Just like all the teams in Buffalo use a Bison. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J. O'Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm not sure if I like the clouds. It makes it look like Brooklyn's in for a doozy of a thunderstorm.

OnWis97 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I like it. It's a good update for a team that probably will not want to radically change its identity. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

kewp80 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I would take out the clouds and replace them with the Brooklyn Bridge, it would look better in my opinion. I just don't see a reason why the clouds are there. It's a nice update for when they move to Brooklyn though, nice job. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

illwauk Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I agree that the Brooklyn Bridge would be the way to go since it's something most people would look at and instantly recognize as Brooklyn. Especially since it doesn't say Brooklyn anywhere on the logo. Even though you executed it nicely, the skyline isn't distinctive enough to stand on its own.That said, if this were a real logo, I'd probably cop a t-shirt with it.

njmeadowlanders Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 To add to the Brooklyn Bridge motif--isn't Brooklyn known as the "Borough of Bridges" in addition to many other names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockngoalie1 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I would suggest the bridge, but it would take away from the nickname, "Nets." So I feel like we would have to figure out a new name, or keep it the way it is now, just without the clouds...

goforbroke Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'd love the see the brooklyn bridge, but instead of the suspention cables, use the netting pattern from a basketball net. the pattern for both is actually pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 i have been caught up with this recently, as well as being busy, so this is taking a long time. As I said, I pretty much came to a dead end with this, thinking I should start over, but here is an update. I tried to work the Brooklyn Bridge in with the flying basketball, but i ended up making a bridge that may or may not be the brooklyn bridge, and i managed to make the bridge both blend in with the buildings, and cover them up(don't ask me how i did this, it was never my intention). anyway, i don't like this, but if anybody does please feel free to let me know.

rams80 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Maybe you could make the bridge towers angle outwards from the center, like the buildings.

Gothamite Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 anyway, i don't like this, but if anybody does please feel free to let me know.I'm with you - I don't like it, either. I think changing an existing logo to conform to an entirely new design theme is a bad idea. Better to start from scratch. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
