76ers With a new ''old'' look !

[c0nr4d]

this is actually the new primary logo, with the ball logo by itself being the "partial logo":



god awful, if you ask me.

also, here's a prelim look at the uni wordmarks (the designs won't come out for a couple of weeks):

I had the feeling it was going to be bad when I read the description of the primary logo in the Sixers site. It's indeed awful.

Looks like all the links on sportslogos.net are now broken, but there's a tiny version of it on NBA.com:



EDIT: I tell a lie. After a refresh, it's showing up for me here.

[c0nr4d]

fixed it again, but if it goes out again, this one won't:



again, still rectangular feces.

[Andrew]

Yes, the rectangle seems a bit unnecessary.

sportlogos.net doesn't allow linking images that's why it's broken here, I think.

[Andrew]

Could be, though it was showing up to begin with. In any case, we certainly have means of seeing the new logo in all its glory. After a couple of hours updating the logo patches for 2005-08, I'm still not a big fan of the rectangle. The update to the old primary logo would've been sufficient for the new primary.

[Mayerhendrix]

you'd think when all the other teams are going for sleeker, changed-up appearances (think hawks and bucks) that more teams would follow suit. this doesn't suit the age at all. it goes too much with the simpler, single-color uniforms from the 80s and early 90s.

...might as well break out a team picture of iguodala and brand in short-shorts now.

[Andrew]

I think the partial logo with the subtle updates would have been passable. With the rectangle, not so much.

Looks like the jersey is exactly the same as the old ones

I like this jersey than the other.

Let's give the other jersey to the Thunder

[Andrew]

I believe that one is already in NBA Live. That'll be convenient for the roster updates.

As for the real Sixers, not too bad. It's a classic look that hasn't been tampered with. I still like the logo and jerseys the Sixers had from 1997 through 2009 but the return to the old jersey isn't too bad. Still not a fan of that rectangle around the logo though.

Still not a fan of that rectangle around the logo though.

heh, any design beats the Thunder's logo

[Lean]

Can't get over the rectangle fence 'drew?

I find the change fresh, old fresh. It's paying homage to the great Sixer team that carried that logo.

Still not a fan of that rectangle around the logo though.

I don't know...Oklahoma City's logo is modern enough. The partial logo (ie the simple update on the old logo) would have been fine as the primary though but the recentangle is a bit too old school.

[Mayerhendrix]

if you're hyperventilating after seeing these jerseys, now check out the boise state football uniforms. those were just recently updated too and that is a prime example of thunder colors gone fucked up huge.

It's just ok. If they use the logo with the rectangle thing on their jerseys, then start hating the team.

[Andrew]

I'll live with it. Unless the Bulls change their logo to include a picture of John Paxson's face, I can get used to new NBA logos.

He broke your heart, didn't he?

[Andrew]

Let's not go nuts and throw around a term like that too easily. Suffice to say I've grown increasingly frustrated and disappointed with his decisions over the years, as much as he's made a few good ones too.
