sportstar1212 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Guess you love it or hate it.And I'm in the second camp. Looks like Jay-Z made this in Microsoft Publisher with some clip art. Every time I see this blah rebrand it's like their logo is farting all over the internet.why must so many teams use a basketball in their logo. Honestly, it's been done to death. That's a league directive, IIRC.Angry Bull says "no."But then you have it on the court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 For any other team, this logo would be horrible. But for the Nets, this is the best logo they could've come up with. I love 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...
Gothamite Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Now that they mention it, I can definitely sense the nostalgia.People these days might not be familiar with these types of subway rollsigns, but for about 3/4 of the 20th century the rollsigns all use this style (before they switched everything to Helvetica). Very quintessential New York.I agree. Much better after seeing this. BUT modern basketball rendering ruins it. If they were going old style, make the rendering old style too. Would have made for a much better look.Vertical line down the middle is needed. And the rotated ball gives it at least some creativity.I'd argue that the rotated ball isn't creative at all since that version is seen in countless basketball logos in the NBA, NCAA, etc. The point is if it's to look old style, then make it look old style. Be consistent. Otherwise you get a design that simply doesn't work.Yeah, because the concept of a rotated basketball was only developed in the last couple years...Oh, wait.

Good find BUT that is a much different rendering style that what we've seen over the past 10-20 years. The lines now are tapered and given depth. Fine, but I just feel that a flatter approach would be much more consistent with the brand they were trying to create. Maybe I'm off on this but I just don't see the more modern rendering of the ball fitting here. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 In a few years they will add a third color to uniforms or merchandise. Not that it's a bad thing, it just happens over time. Any guesses? Are there any other "local" colors that would be appropriate? I'm hoping against silver, just because it is done so much.A royal blue touch would be nice. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But black-and-white definitely as different as you can get from the Knicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm starting to really like this logo set. Especially the secondary. And I really like the color choice. It's hard to do something today and not be compared to another team that's already done it, Or try to do something out of the box and end up getting bashed like the marlins. Old and boring is timeless. I just hope the uniforms don't ruin what is already a decent identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Classic Logo, only in Brooklyn. I just wish they would have had someway put a "net" in the logo.Wow I love that version !!!Saw this on another forum, thought this would've been in here before..if so pardon me.. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it.So are you trying to say because they are the Nets they automatically have low standards? Or is it because the Brooklyn way is very traditional and simple?

oukingpen Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I like simple logos, but this is caveman simple! Can it be? Could this be the WORST NBA logo since the OKC Thunder logo got shredded on this board a few years back? Instead of it looking professional and flashy, it's "gangsta". Which perfectly reflects the NBA... thug ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 omg you guys a black rapper helped design a logo in a predominantly black sport lol gangsta thug ghetto drive-bySeriously, this is what you sound like, and it's awful. Try discussing the logos on their merits, or lack thereof.Personally, I like the color scheme, but find the whole design to be more bland and generic than classic or timeless. I like the roundel-ball the most, but it's not setting the world on fire for me or anything.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 After seeing why they made the colors and logo what they did, I LOVE this rebrand. I mean I understand not liking the logo, but when you have the urge to say how awful the new logo is, just google up pictures of the previous NJ Nets logo and brand, and realize that it's all going to be ok.
