Quillz Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think the new patch makes more sense. Like I said earlier, having an actual patch in the shape of the trophy seems to imply both teams had already won or something. The new patch is more akin to a World Series or Super Bowl patch.

Still MIGHTY Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I don't like itFrom afar, I thought it was the Latin Night patch for a mintue. Not to say I don't like the Hispanic community, I just don't like the patch as a Finals patch and I don't like the placement around the NBA logo. Keep the NBA logo on the left shoulder like always, then make a Finals patch for the right shoulder | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trophy itself it horrible and the giant decal on the court was just as bad if not worse. The NBA really needs to evaluate that crappy trophy and come up with something better.

jjpalow23 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 i don't find anything wrong with the Larry O'Brien trophy. In fact, i pretty much like all of the trophies that are given out in all of sports. I do agree & disagree with the patch. I am not a fan of the new one (as i love the previous years), however, it does make sense that it says "Finals" much like the Stanley Cup one. Maybe next year add the full Larry with Finals written underneath or even in the middle? I do agree that it should be opposite side of the league's logo. As for the giant Larry at centercourt, NOT A FAN. it looked cheesy and out of place. I think the team logo should remain centercourt and "The Finals" where we saw it lastnight.

NJTank Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I agree the trophy did look silly on the court at midcourt. Maybe if they had a small one by the Finals logo it would be ok, but other than that.

LEWJ Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I definitely liked the trophy patch much better than what they decided to go with this year. I guess it was time for a change though.I think it'd be cool if the two teams in the finals wore their respective conference champions trophy as a patch. Then the team who wins would wear the finals trophy the following season (except I don't know if everyone would agree with that because the team may be entirely different--in terms of players; especially after this off-season.)Just my 2 cents.I also did like the trophy logo at midcourt. I'm dissapointed that it's not on the court at all this year. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camden Crazy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Getting rid of the big trophy at center court is a gigantic and totally epic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Just my quick two cents: I don't really miss the trophy at mid court, but I do miss something, anything to ensure to me that I'm indeed watching the Finals. I really thought the look on the court and the uniforms weren't enough to show that this was the finals. The wordmark inside the arcs don't look that good (if anything they should be at two o'clock and seven o' clock from center court like it used to be (sorry that's the best description I've got haha). And then the patches? Yikes. For one, it should be on the other side of the jersey from the NBA logo, like it has been since '96. There's no reason to make a mess around the NBA logo just for kicks and giggles (the only exception was '02 Faker....er, I mean Lakers/Nets, when the 9-11 patch was on the opposite site. That was fine.) and what makes it worse is that the patch looks just like all the special "nights" and "weeks" the NBA has had the past two years. If I tune into the finals and think I'm watching a game from "Latin Night" or "Green Week" or any other gimmick the league puts on, that's a problem. The solution? Make an entirely new finals logo (that wordmark is sheer crap....seriously, is that a sports championship logo or the brand for a televised dancing competition?), and put it the side of the jersey OPPOSITE from the NBA logo. Then people like me who are freaks about the looks and patches of championship games will be happy. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseJames Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 The NBA has to return to the 2000-2002 or 1996-1999 logosand put them where they were the Conference Finals and Playoffs logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw11333 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I just want some tradition. Either change the patch every year(like MLB and the Super Bowl), or keep it the same every year(like the NHL in the 90's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpalow23 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 i just don't like the way the Larry looked in the 1996 patch. I do like the second pic that LEWJ posted, i was always a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy510 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I can't say that I'm a fan of the new patch, but putting the Larry O'Brien sticker at midcourt was so unbelievably dumb on so many levels. Thank god it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 The new patch is too hard to see from a distance or in motion. The trophy patch was simple and got the point across. The lack of the trophy logo at midcourt sucks at least 26 weeners at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
