Don't like the NBA logo on top of the Warrior logo

"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said. "He needs to figure out why he is having stomach problems and he's got to watch how LeBron (James), Kobe (Bryant) and D-Wade (Dwyane Wade) work. He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis

I think the logo is only on it for the caps.

Looks like every team cap for the draft has it.

If they change the font, I'll love it.

But right now I just like it.

All the caps this year have the logo

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.

I still don’t love the font but seeing it in official use is helping me to warm up to the overall design. Frankly, I’m just really excited to see the end of the Cohan era and all things related to it. That alone makes this logo 10 times as sexy.

Warriors are already using the font on their site too.

But let’s just hope there is a change of ownership soon, so we don’t link this at all with Cohan.

if that is it however..

what does the golden gate bridge have to do with our mascot “the warriors”? we should be the bridges or something, or lose our generic team mascot name which 10 million high school and college school also claim as their own.

It's a throwback to The City jerseys that were well loved. But updating it with the new eastern span of the bay bridge being built.

They don’t do the Warriors mascot because of the backlash now days:

Why change the name? It’s one of the nba teams that has been around the longest. Teams don’t usually go around changing team names. Except the backlash the bullets had.

But there is talk around Charlotte around wanting to change the bobcats name. Because they have new owners and there is speculation Bobcats was only chosen because the original owners name was Bob.

The logo is not that hot!

I strongly believe that the old logo looks good than with this one.

My head gives it a B-, my heart gives it an A

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).

PS

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

I very much like the logo itself

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.
