There have been some terrible NBA logos in the old days

Can anyone guess who this belonged to?

Cool thread OP, 5 stars :applause:

Late 90s and early 2000's had the best logos for my taste.

Yep, gotta hand it to the Bulls here. Yes, because the logo is perfect. But even more-so, because they have resisted fiddling with it in spite of its perfection. We see change for the sake of change all the time.

[ArbitraryWater]

These are amazing lol

The Rockets logo & uniform overhaul right after winning back-to-back championships was both the worst, and the worst idea, ever.

[WhiteKyrie]

https://i.ibb.co/SX4NWXn/Heat.png
Black and Orange was better. They tried imitating the Bulls popularity.

Celtics have gone to the white Lucky on the court. I wonder if they're planning something in the near future for the team.

I agree. I loved those old championship seasons uniforms the best.

I despise the Rockets cartoon uniform. God the mid-90's were so garish. Glad to see a more basic traditional style coming back.
I mean WTF. Pistons in some light blue color. Dinosaurs. Crazy bears. Sonics with barely any yellow. Same with Warriors.

/and I'm old. I watched all that stuff. Didn't realize how ugly it was at the time

Orlando with a grotesque downgrade in 2010. I loathe our current logo. The 90's and 00's logos were awesome...I hope they go back.

Every logo and jersey across most sports have gone cookie-cutter and I don’t get it. Just off the top of my head the Nuggets, Hawks, Pacers, Raptors, and Wizards all have the same thing pretty much.

And the other ones that aren’t all the same are more boring versions of what they’ve been.

[Full Court]

How about this one?

https://i.ibb.co/q9Cz24R/Royals.png

By far the worst one ever right there.

It looks like they used Axe's face for their logo.

The worst to me is the Super Bowl logo. They came up with a really cool and unique design every year, then starting in 2010 they just started doing the same exact bland logo every year.

That team logo from '57-71 certainly looks like the braindead mongoloid from above the poster above me.

[Jasper]

these logo's are historic , because it shows the transformation of each franchise.

Those 2000s Finals logos are a thing of beauty.

[bison]

Some of the vintage ones are cool but the best seem to be from the 80s and 90s. Old logos had charm and character. A lot of current nba logos feel sterile and corporate, particularly cavs, clippers, nuggets and rockets.

[JohnMax]

https://i.ibb.co/dK1m6s5/Cleveland-Cavs.png

So the Cavs conveniently have gold around their logo the year they won the championship.

I knew this shit was planned in advance. Fake ass scripted American sports.
