Uniforms—Logos—Court Designs—Socks—Sneakers—Headbands—Mouthguards

i really want a design job with an nba franchise. the suns were hiring a creative director like the same day I started my current job and it was snatched up within a couple days :/ one of my friends is on the design team there now, he gives me the lowdown on the inner workings. sounds like it could be pretty rewarding/frustrating. Like they outsource the big campaigns/themes/redesigns to big local agencies/firms so they get stuck doing some of the less sexy work. now theyre trying to wrangle back control of the bigger initiatives. i think they assigned him the jersey updates (theyre updating some of the alternates or something) for the upcoming season hes all pumped about it. but then again he works for r0bert s@rver.

ya wld prob be cool, typical corporate frustrations aside, free tix at least

yeah he got me into a handful of games this year. four seats lower bowl for every home game not bad

damn thats real good

im sure $@rver will strip that way back when they get good again lets be honest

haha

it seems like basically 1 guy/firm has done all the NBA rebrands of the last several years

feel like i read somewhere that their are two companies that basically get all the work

i was thinking of something from zach lowe's article on the wolves rebrand

"They kept saying it was too over the top," said Rodney Richardson, owner of Mississippi-based RARE Design, the consultant who conjured the sleek new logo the Wolves unveiled tonight. "It didn't represent the area, or who they are as people."

Richardson, who designed current logos for the Hornets, Grizzlies, Kings, Hawks, and Pelicans

cant remember which but one of the good new rebrands was done in house. im a career in-house designer so im obv all about this approach. agenices charge a ton of money, talk in circles and fluff things up to be more important than they should be. and rich execs eat, it, up.

yeah agencies are all about sales and the decisionmakers love to be sold to

what ppl think i do [make pretty things]
what i actually do [convince business school graduates that a pretty thing is the universe]

lmao otm

i hop the logo glows like this:

if they're going to do that they need to go full NASCAR/manchester united or w/e

gross these better not be as big as they are in these mockups

ya the cleve one is the right size, also obvs they shd all be in team colors

cavs looks like an apostrophe lol clevela'nd

the winged shoe would be a nice team logo, if it wasn't already being used

yeah the goodyear logo is all time

Here's the logo for the new Grizzlies G-League affiliate, the Memphis Hustle. The colors and "groovy" feel relate to the ABA Memphis Sounds. pic.twitter.com/xXtq7ejxGm

new spurs secondary logo

http://content.sportslogos.net/news/2017/06/spurs-alt.png

n'ombre, it looks like a pinche deadpool mask

i guess everyone is doing these basketball-as-crest logos nowadays but i really like the solitary spur

or is that their main logo now? i can't even keep up

this SA ball is supposed to be a secondary logo. the spur will never be replaced

it looks like an imperial logo (From the popular movie star wars)

thats really bad but its secondary so it don't matter.

truly horrendous imo

lmaaaaoooooooo
