WSU151 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The hell? All you young people and your LeBron James crap.The logo that TxRangersFan posted is clearly Michael Jordan. Too funny.

Radiohead Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Word on the street is the Grizzlies will unveil their new primary logo at center court against OKC. Precursor to a future name change to the Memphis Kings if Sacramento becomes the Anaheim Royals? Stay tuned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Pretty sure you're joking, but either way, Memphis Kings would be great.

Radiohead Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Yes, obviously joking. Anything would be better than the Grizzlies. Beside the fact Grizzlies has no tie to Memphis like it did to Vancouver, it has no ring to it at all. Memphis Blues would be good (albeit not necessarily original). Memphis Suns would be perfect if not for Phoenix claiming the rights. Or the Memphis Steamers. Of course, if the Kings name became available, for marketing purposes alone, the team might want to take a look at it. The downside is the Fed Ex Forum would be full of middle aged men in jumpsuits with bad hairdos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespleenenator Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Memphis bulldogs has a nice ring to it. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy, yet trashy."Memphis Showboats", taken from USFL, would be a great NBA team name. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

The downside is the Fed Ex Forum would be full of middle aged men in jumpsuits with bad hairdos.I disagree with pretty much all of that. I've totally gotten used to Memphis Grizzlies, and I think it sounds fine. It doesn't make total sense, but it works in a Utah Jazz/LA Lakers way to me. It also ties them to their crazy days and identity in Vancouver, which I wouldn't want to see forgotten. Combine that with their current exciting success and there's no way I would want them to abandon their current identity.Memphis Suns? No thanks. Memphis Kings sounds decent in and of itself, but I wouldn't want an NBA team to be themed around a dead musician who wasn't linked to basketball at all. It fits the city but that's about it. It's too weird to center the identity of an NBA team around one non-basketball-related person. And Blues and Steamers aren't a good names for an NBA team IMO.

Delicate Genius Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The logo that TxRangersFan posted is clearly Michael Jordan. I watched a hell of a lot of Bulls basketball in the day and that is him going for a dunk all the way down to the tongue sticking out (well ok, maybe not the tongue).To me, it is quite clearly taken from this picture of LeBron:picWas that picture taken in Arco Arena? If it was, there's a good chance that's from Lebron's first ever NBA game. Which would make sense as to why it was chosen for a logo of his.Turns out it was.http://nikelebron.net/2007/06/07/lebrons_nba_debut_10_29_2003_vs_sacramento/I believe it's also the first dunk of his NBA career.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wn9rp9l1aQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a tradionalist by any means, but coming out with a special jersey for all these occasions is just stupid to me.We don't need St. Patricks day jerseys or Spanish jerseys. I would be very happy without either, but the St. Pats are just a recoloration. The Spanish jerseys are just stupid to change the team name on a jersey.

But I see your argument.I won't get into the politics of it, that pisses me off and will just take things off topic. That is the main reason I hate it.But in addition to the different language, I realize it isn't technically changing the name. But it's changing the name on the jersey. Neuva York and Los Bulls? That doesn't belong on the jerseys, that completely changes them. If the NBA has a chubby for doing all this heritage, and by all of this I mean just Latin heritage, do something subtle or out of the way. Not changing a whole jersey, that's when it just gets to be for making a dollar off the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truepg Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 A new alternate logo for the Knicks was just filed with the patent office last week.The way it is there, I'm not sure I like the outlines being thicker than the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilt Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I guess we would have consult some Spanish native speakers but for me Los Bulls just sounds ridicolous. You either make it El Toros or try something different. And Los Angeles is a more Spanish word than Los Lakers. Actually when I saw those Los Lakers shirts I thougt that Los Angeles might be a nice idea for an alternate rather than 3 jerseys with Lakers printed.The bottom line is that NBA season lasts 82 games so I don't mind some experiments during the regular season as long as they are not so ridicolous. I prefer this than the way association football teams milk their fans by releasing 3 sets of kits every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's necessary with the token and the primary covering any need this one would. That is, I can't see this replacing the recolored primary like so many other new alts do, in practice if not in name. And the token covers anywhere you need a circle.

I prefer this than the way association football teams milk their fans by releasing 3 sets of kits every year.I don't like the jerseys, but they do the language correctly (except Nueva York). Since "Bulls" is the name, it doesn't change. It's like a person's name. (there is a better way to explain all this, so if someone can please do.) If you were listening to a Spanish telecast of the game, the announcers would still be saying "Bulls" and not Toros. Just like they wouldn't say a player's name in it's Spanish form.But still, I'd have no problem seeing them go. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
