New Golden State Warriors Logo Leaked- HOT or NOT?

The font is really terrible, but i like the rest.

But right now I just like it.

I like it though, I wonder if mid court will be the bridge or the state this year

My sentiments echo Governor’s and LostHawk’s exactly. But, hell, I guess we couldn’t have expected it to be perfect. It’s a welcome change and it’s got me excited, Copperplate Gothic or not.

Well, we’re getting close….

Echoing an earlier Sleepy post: To me, it looks a bit too sleek—the font is kind of bland, the general look is over-stylized, modern in a dull way, and corporate, like something you’d expect from a Bay Area-based air-freight company. The bridge, weirdly, looks more like the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York than either SF-linked bridge. But after a decade plus of praying that the Warriors would ditch their hideous, then slightly less hideous, then slightly less hideous, logos/uniforms of the Cohan era, with all their lightning bolts and bulging superhero torsos other tacky and extraneous graphics that belong on sports drinks, not sports teams, I’m not complaining. In fact, I’m breathing a big sigh of relief.

It’s an enormous step forward just to return to our actual colors (if I wanted weird, ugly orange, I’d move to Syracuse) and our actual graphical identity (maps/bridges/reminders that we play in a part of the state that the Lakers don’t own).

It seems weird to feel the need to update the classic look when we’re sitting on two of the best unis/logos in sports history: the ‘60s era “City” unis or the ’70s era map/star unis that I grew up watching. But this is one case where the move from a negative to a neutral is good enough for me—even kind of great. I’m not going to get hung up on the fact that we didn’t move from a negative to an enormous positive. (Kind of like if we won the #2 pick in the lottery, I’d be happy with Turner and wouldn’t lose too much sleep over just missing out on Wall).

My question, are the new unis still going to be an update of the Run TMC ’80s threads, with the word “Warriors” across the chest? Or is there a chance that this logo end up prominently on the jersey, like the earlier unis?

(Another question: might Ellison or some other new owner just scrap the whole thing and do their own update on a classic logo? Or something else? I could imagine whoever buys the team would want to put their fingerprints on everything, and banish every last trace of everything having to do with the Cohan/Rowell years).

Maybe we should just keep the Logo on the logo if Jerry West ends up being part of a new ownership group.

But I will be immensely disappointed if the wordmark is simply going to be Copperplate Gothic. We’ve waited too long for a new jersey for some "designer"to just use a system font they got for free on their computer. More people should be outraged.

Imagine being 14 years old, wanting an Official sized Wilson basketball for Christmas and getting a plush basketball your mom got for free with a Lakers T-shirt she bought. It’s like that.
