nash61 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 September? I hope they leak before that.It might not just be a leak before then. When the Wizards came out with their new jerseys, they weren't available for purchase until then, although you could pre-order.It's strange to me that they wouldn't have jerseys to show around the time of the draft. I wonder what they'll have their picks hold up instead.

gyrocol Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 So who designed the logo- JayZ or Timothy P Morris?Maybe they're both aliases for the same man. I like the bold lettering much better than the thin. That uniform above looks a little like an evening gown on the top.I think it fits the logo a lot better too (though still looks a bit clumsy), but I guess they changed it because bold lettering doesn't fit the brand identity that they were going for.

Gothamite Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Presume he's referring to the league's logo policies, including their treatment of primaries-that-aren't-ever-actually-used and charging teams to change logos but not for recoloring them.

gyrocol Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 So who designed the logo- JayZ or Timothy P Morris?Maybe they're both aliases for the same man. They aren't.I know. Its a joke.All we know is Morris has collaborated with Jay Z in the past. So this could be the same - Jay Z provided a general concept and Morris was in charge of execution.Presume he's referring to the league's logo policies, including their treatment of primaries-that-aren't-ever-actually-used and charging teams to change logos but not for recoloring them.At this point their logo policies are getting pretty ridiculous. Its obvious that teams are increasingly bypassing those regulations by making more creative secondary logos that they essentially use as primaries. Its the same with the Nets... The "Nets" shield was probably made just so they can satisfy league requirements, but it seems that they intend to push the BROOKLYN NEW YORK circle logo just as much (if not more) and even referred to it as their second primary.

The_Admiral Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I mentioned that.By arching the type and using a typeface that wasn't even used then (many of those signs seem hand-drawn), the connection is really no more than "we also use black and white." At that superficial point, you might as well say you're taking inspiration from a term paper. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ah, I think they capture the essential feel of the signs. They certainly evoke the right look to me.Well done all around.
