Old School Fool Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I mentioned a few days ago about the different number fonts on the banners hanging at the Sixers workout facility...now there is a story floating locally about a potential logo adjustment...(not Ben Franklin related).....http://www.crossingbroad.com/2014/07/could-the-sixers-be-making-the-most-minor-tweak-to-their-logo.htmlMentioned in the Crossing Broad article, here are the practice jerseys:Is it me or does the new basketball on the 76ers logo look exactly like the one on the NY Knicks logo, albeit flipped horizontally?Wow.If this is indeed an official logo then it is one of the dumbest, laziest things I've ever seen.

This logo looks like it was thrown together last minute. The 7 looks beveled, the blues are darker than what they've officially been pushing, and overally the lines in relation to the wordmark look sloppy and awkwardly chopped. We would've seen any changes on draft night, rather than a Big 12 post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Why do people always steal stuff from here? Am I underestimating just how popular this site is after 10 years?

Shadojoker Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if designers troll this site. Find a good look then add a small tweak..present it to the league and said they were work is "original". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter23 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Looks like the Kings are getting new uniforms? The team seems to be phasing out Maloof-era branding and going back to the old wordmark.Link to the original tweet: https://twitter.com/georgetakata/status/484907872883449858Good find! Most recently their jerseys have been more less combination of tweaks not really am overhaul compared to early 90s when they switched from RWB to Purple silver and black. I'd like it if they kept the "Sacramento" wordmark from the current set and moved the NOB on the alt to below the number, but that's a minor issue. I'm liking this tweak (if it's official, considering the logo sheet we saw previously had no wordmark changes). Looks legit. What is that thing about the NBA logo? Looks like a small gold spec on the collar maybe a crown? nice findThe kings needed this for along long timewow.. this is great! as campbell said, this was long overdue... i never understood the kings' decision to have 'sacramento' in white on their home jersey and black 'kings' on their purple uniforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 A team just has "Phila" on the front of the jersey? Now that's stupid. What's the reasoning behind it?It's an official abbreviation of the city name and has historical precedence. Not stupid at all.

IceCap Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Considering how long "PHILADELPHIA" would be and how limited real estate is on a basketball jersey? "PHILA" is just fine. I'd even go so far as to say I'd prefer it on both the home and road jerseys. Having just "SIXERS" on there has always been a gear grinder of mine.

BBTV Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 That's a super rare one because Barkley wore 32 for all but a few games that season.
