Respect for tradition. Ask MJ if he wants it changed...or any player, I doubt they say yes.

[Mamba]

stupid idea. really stupid. the nba logo is perfect the way it is, and what change it to the jumpman? pfft, jerry west is the logo because it represents tradition.

[godofgods]

Bad idea

[Manute for Ever!]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[RainierBeachPoet]

logos are what advertisers view as branding. it is a way to recognize, at a glance, the company/organization the logo represents

it has taken decades for the nba to spread its logo worldwide and for sports fans, the nba logo has great recognition

to change it to mj's jumpman logo would be to commit marketing suicide because that logo is now associated with shoes

'nuff said

[InspiredLebowski]

Other than the respect of tradition, which I side in favor of, the Jordan "Jumpman" logo is obviously trademarked. The NBA, a self supported entity, should pay a MASSIVE sum (and probably a percentage of future product sales for all of eternity) in order to...what? Because, hey, the kids dig it? Why not go big or go home, EXXXTREME HOOPS, with trampolines and steroids, brought to you by Commissioner Shawn Kemp!

I can create better logos for Coca Cola than the existing one. Should I apply for a change?

[jbot]

it won't happen. could u imagine the amount of $$$ he'd make them pay to use his image?

[T-pott]

Thats the stupidest thing I ever heard. lol. A logo is a logo. There is no need to change it.

99% of people don't even know it's Jerry West.

Why don't you just add the Nike Swoosh in there, and just call it the Nike Basketball Association? :hammerhead:

BTW, the correct answer is the one above about 'branding'....

[picc84]

As if Jordan doesnt have enough recognition. He'll be fine. The logo is fine.

[T-pott]

That looks like something AND1 would put.

[Showtime]

It's a great, classy logo that everybody already recognizes. There's no point in changing it to a Nike-esque image.

[stephanieg]

No way. When someone asks how good Jerry West was you can just say they put him on the friggin' logo.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Yes respecting the past is good, but honestly a new era is upon us, bring in Jordan!

[OneMoreSucka]

Wouldn't Pryzbilla be a little more fitting to be the logo than MJ? I mean he's shooting like 81.6% from the field....

[Nash-tastic]

:wtf: How can you even be a fan of the nba and not know who that was?

Did you think it was a drawing or something? :hammerhead:
If you read the first page, somebody said many people do not even know that's Jerry West, the person you quoted was just being sarcastic

This is correct :applause:

[hayden695]

[Sir Charles]

An afro'ed Dr. J should be the logo, IF they decide to change it. Everyone is already on MJ's nuts, no need for him to be on the log too.

You gotta put Side show bob on a logo Scoop.

BTW is Gooden banging Noah in your Avatar? (I might just be imagining things from last night)

[BrooklynZoo]

since MJ is the icon of the nba why not ?

because michael jordan is black

[steve]

because michael jordan is black
He's also essentially owned by Nike.

[w00terz]

No point in changing it from Jerry to Jordan, considering not many know that the logo is actually Jerry West. It's fine the way it is.

Yeah... that's them. I'll do the logo later.

[poeticism707]

Let it stay West, for crying out loud. Isn't there enough idolatry going on in the name of Jordan?
