tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well we now know why the Clippers never had any BFBS uniforms.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Stupid thought, but a thought nonetheless...do you think we will see a rebrand of the Clippers in the near future because of this mess? I'm just thinking when new ownership takes over (when that time comes), they will want to distance themselves from the look of the Donald Sterling era.

guest23 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Clippers are not moving to SeattleCare to share some of that definitive reasoning?Seattle is the nba version of LA. The city's value to the league right now is to use it as a relo threat in order to get new arenas built in other cities. Unless the clippers got an arena 100% financed by WA taxpayers, the franchise's value would likely go down due to the future value of their TV contract. TW cable and fox have effectively created a bubble in TV rights that's caused quite a bit of overbidding for sports properties. With local TV rights being the future model of franchise profitability, there is more value being a #2 team in LA as opposed to the #1 team in SEAWhat you'll likely see is the clippers stay put, then Hansen & Co. will pull an OKC with a small market club (the bucks are not out of the question) by overpaying and then moving the team. This makes the most sense for the league as it will add the SEA market and keep the LA market as is with one of the low population markets getting the short end.

uk-owns-iu Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The whole time this clippers saga has been going on I've figured at least a color change is in store if not a name change. Would hate to lose the name but the r/w/b is redundant. With that whole black gear to symbolize unity thing going on while Black has been on the NBA's next color fab agenda, I have to wonder if Black coupled with gold,brown, or white isn't in the works. In other words,they may have just beaten the Grizz and Raptors to the punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy MidGrady Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They have that sideline font, the endcourt font, jerseys font and the one they use on their wordmark.Maybe its just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I agree with you that they should use the slab-serif type from the logo instead of Futura Black on the baselines, but using plain old arched varsity serif for wordmarks isn't really an inconsistency. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood is full of bandwagoners and being shown at the courtside during the playoffs is what every celebrity in need of extra attention needs.

They're not the only ones who use a completely unrelated font to their brand on their court.Repetition is essential to any brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I dunno if its been mentioned, but with the clippers most likely getting a new owner for next season, maybe they will actually change their logo and uniforms (not just some modifications like they've been doing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
