IceCap Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Both the Lakers and Clippers should adopt nautical logos, actually.The Lakers have a tremendous amount of brand equity in their identity. Changing their logo to some gimmicky nautical themed mark would be a huge mistake.

Changing their logo to some gimmicky nautical themed mark would be a huge mistake.I agree. They've been the Lakers for so long located in a metro where the nickname has zero relevance you could argue that the definition has evolved to solely representative of basketball and has nothing to do with bodies of water.Clippers has a little more relevance due to huge presence of the maritime and shipping industry in socal but since the franchise has been in LA there's been zero effort to brand or market anything nautical.

PhantomDreamer Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 If anything, I think the Clippers are a little too gimmicky as it is right now. The Clippers uniforms from the '90s were nice:This sums up everything when dealing with the Clippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yea I agree with you ice cap that hat sucks big time but the shirt OWNS!nothing says bush league ownership like removing old embroidered numbers (40) and replacing them (22) after the jersey has clearly seen extensive useTechnically the numbers were screened on, which is why there's such a heavy outline still visible. And like Tubby said, that was SOP for the league until recently, although it was much more prevalent during the 70s/80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 How do you remove screen printed numbers, it's certainly not as easy as sewn on numbers that all you need is a seem ripper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know approximately how many uniforms a player would use throughout a season. I'd have to think at least 2 per color due to wear/tear/laundering and the need for a backup should one be rendered unusable. Then again there have been instances of replacement/blood jerseys being random numbers and not a second set. I guess the other option would be a player has one of each and only receives a new set when the current set is completely worn through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
