Xodius Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 So they just they just washed out the colors. Groundbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I hate that Nets logo. I hate the perspective. I hate the colors. I hate the distorted letters. It's not even a backboard and a hoop. Is it intended to be a backboard and a hoop? It looks like a guitar pick, and OKC has one of those already. Why would there be a backboard, a hoop, and a ball, but no net? Why would you construct an abstract, stylized version of the basketball apparatus from which you take your name, but implement every part of it EXCEPT the part from which you take your name? Is the word "NETS" the net here? One more year of this garbage is too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah, a Jersey native and I've never been a Nets fan. Just a Mickey Mouse organization. Loved what Rod Thorn was able to do and Jason Kidd era are awesome, but...the fact that they botched the Newark move and the HOCKEY TEAM had to do it is just astounding and now this whole unnecessary move to Brooklyn is just another reason for me to be glad when they're gone. Glad Newark gets to host them for a bit at least, but...given they should've been there from the start makes this whole thing a joke. Just like their logo.

GuitarPunk2512 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 i love how theyre called the nets, but there is no net in the logo, just a rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 They've never had a net in their logo. The closest they've come is that net-like pattern they use for trim on the current uniform set. All the more reason to change their name when they move to Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Dumb. That logo is so outdated and bland. Nets makeover requires more than just a "pronounced red" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTr1pleXx Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I can't wait for them to ge rid of the Nets identity. Never liked that name, "Brooklyn Nets" just sounds all sorts of awful, and their present identity is insanely weak.This move is the perfect time to just start over completely.

the admiral Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I still like the name and believe in its promise, they've just been unable to do anything good with it (other than the side panels, which are kind of neat): those chintzy patriotic uniforms, the terrible logo they have now, the weird 1991 uniforms, consistently ugly floors, so on.

the admiral Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yes, in a vacuum, but it's meant to play off the Mets and Jets. Nobody anywhere else would think to call a team the Omaha Nets or the Cincinnati Nets because it would be stupid. The idea was "the Jets wanted to rhyme with the Mets, and now watch us figure out how to rhyme with them, too!" more than it was "a basketball net sounds like a good thing to name ourselves for." So all they'd really have to do is wrap themselves in some New York imagery and write off the name as a semi-clever joke, and they could have some good uniforms and logos.

It's like a NFL team being named the Denver Goal Posts.I mean, it was from the 1960s ABA. We're talking about a league with teams called The Floridians and Memphis Pros.Would a team name itself that now? Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing that, nor am I arguing the "cuteness" factor of the ryming that Admiral pointed out. But you're right - that was then. Once they changed from New York to New Jersey, it stopped being charming. If they change to Brooklyn, it'll be even less charming. I guess I'm just arguing the "promise" that was pointed out.

I think it worked in New Jersey just about as well as any other nickname would have...you gotta admit, there really aren't a whole lot of ripe possibilities for a New Jersey sports team. "Devils" is far and away the best you can do.But yeah, change it for the move to Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
