jhans203 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've only got one question. Is the Jazz logo in purple or blue? It looks purple but I'm unsure because of my computer screen.It's dark blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 It's amazing how just a tweak can make a good logo look awful. The current gold/wine/whatever it's called looks for the Cavs, but this new yellowish color looks like a generic MS Paint color.On a somewhat related note, the exact opposite effect happened a few years ago when the Wizards tweaked their bronze. Made their logo (still sucks though) and uniforms better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMW79 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 It looks more like a dark blue to me rather than purple.Either way, it's horrible. And this is coming from a huge Stockton/Malone fan. But if they insist on going so obviously, uncreatively retro, just stick with the classic purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 How do we know they aren't introducing another secondary logo? These were all only primary logos on the watches. I wouldn't be surprised to see another one - it'd be cool to see them use the ship theme for the first time since the early years in San Diego. And if that happens, we'll talk about it.Until then, we can only discuss what they're actually doing, which is making minor tweaks to an identity many of us feel needs a major overhaul.You don't have to be so defensive - I understand that this is your team, but it's not personal.

Discogod Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Looks like the Clips also changed the font for "Los Angeles" and thickened up the "Clippers" some. I think these small tweaks make the Clippers' logo much, much better. I really don't think they need to do anything to the unis, those are some of the nicest in the league.My only problem is the direction the ball's facing. In the old logo, it looked like the ball was shooting forwards. In the new, it looks like it's going backwards, except the speed lines would indicate that it's going forwards. It just looks off.

cyandlux Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I think all of us Clipper fans wanted something major. This is just real disappointing. I don't feel like linking to my old concept that used the existing cursive with a ship above it. But if you're going to pay someone to do something you may as will pay for something new. Maybe that race discrimination settlement really hit the logo budget hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to spend a lot of money on a totally new logo set when a minor tweak of what they already have is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 And the Florida Panthers have had a futile existence - nobody's demanding that they should change their logo. If when they moved from Miami to their new home in Sunrise they unveiled this as their logo...... we would be. (And I know I went a long way for that one.)

Lights Out Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Conrad - would you mind if I put your render in my sig? It would complete the evolution of the Clips' logo there.Also, wow. That Carolina logo looks even more god-awful in piss-yellow... I thought it couldn't get any worse than it is currently.

Just my two cents as a Cavs fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my two cents as a Cavs fan.I think the color change was a long time coming. If you look at the XL and Quicken Loans Arena Logos they both use that shade of gold. Also it can be seen a lot throughout the Q especially on the scoreboard and concourses. I even think they gave everyone in the crowd a gold t-shirt, of that shade, one of the playoff games a few years back. I think people will get used to it and I actually like the change, just hope the jerseys we see are a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Now the wait begins for uniform sets from CLE(minor)...How do you know that the changes to the uniform are going to be minor?

Not only do the Cavs currently wear some of the best jerseys in the NBA (the white and red ones, anyway), but in my opinion, and in the opinion of others in this thread, replacing gold with yellow is a big downgrade. If the new jerseys are similar, I can't imagine the red jersey looking good with a yellow stripe down the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 You know what would be a huge upgrade for the Cavs? If they actually wore their home jerseys at home instead of a million and one alternates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they actually wore their home jerseys at home instead of a million and one alternates.As a Cavaliers fan, here's what I think about your suggestion:As someone in my office said after the Cavs wore their blue throwbacks for what felt like the 23rd straight game back in March: "There's a reason they stopped wearing those in 1994."
