Should Jordan relace Jerry West as NBA Logo?

[chiefdodgerslakers24]

I think it will happen at some point. Look at the West logo closely. The hair. Shorts.

Does it resemble a modern NBA player in any way? Eventually, somebody will notice and make it part of their agenda...

The Logo is steeped in tradition. Who cares what the fashion was 50 years ago. There is a reason why we get nostalgic over the things we do. Modern is not nostalgic. If there is anything we learned is don't change things that are successful. (I miss the old NBA on NBC theme song, can you tell?)

1. I don't really get the fascination with the NBC stuff on this board... other than it's what many grew up with so that has a lot to do with their affinity for it.

2. I tend to agree with you on the West logo. I like it. I think it's nostalgic iconic.

3. I wouldn't be the one leading the charge to change it. I don't want to... nor do I have the clout. But somebody does... and I bet they add it to their agenda eventually.

NBA was on NBC for my favorite all time NBA basketball moment. Horry for the win. The theme song was perfect, good broadcasters, so much better than ESPN/ABC

The logo in the OP is property of Nike, so they'd have to do a different image of MJ less the league gets sued and Nike pulls all their product out of the league.

..generic look, just like the West logo...it's time people, out with the old, in with the GOAT...

hilarious that you think West is outdated, but you want to highlight a player from 20 years ago.

..you realize the West logo was done about 45 years ago?...also, why not have the best the game has ever seen as your logo...West was just the designers popular choice, it could have been a number of people...and Jordan last played less than 20 years ago anyway(not that it mattered)...many on here are too nostalgic to embrace this...

The present NBA logo is not even a top 10 ATG.

Interesting that you know the mind of the designer.
The choice of the Jordan image is silly. It does not change the design enough, so there are copyright issues. It also doesn't show Jordan doing anything he was known for.
If you want the best the game has ever seen, then have a silhouette of a skyhook.

..well, it's well documented what the intent was when it was created...As for a Jordan logo, there are variations that could be used that doesn't interfere with Nike, and even the one I posted is an updated look...

..and no to Kareem...lol, come on man...

What do you mean lol to Kareem?
He's the greatest basketball player ever. Dominant since HS. Multiple decades.
Unstoppable shot.

The Jordan logo you've shown doesn't change anything, and ultimately is just an ego stroke by swingers.

lol...Kareem isn't even #2 on the pecking order, much less greatest...but I get you Laker fans wanting that so badly...

..also, you think those two logos look the same?...

So what would you rather have a 40 year old Dodge Dart that would be West? Or a 15 year old Ferrari, Jordan?

..yes, that was my point in the cars pics I posted on page 2...this isn't about something broke needing a fix(as grizz posted), it just about enhancing the product...I don't get why some people take this so personal...

Guess this logo

Bump for the logo that represents todays NBA

[LNS]

Bulls homers telling Lakers fans to "stop being homers" because we'd like to keep a former Lakers great, Jerry West, as the Logo. Yet here they are pushing for a former Bulls great in Jordan?

The logo that shows LeBron flopping to West looks great for Laker and LeBron fans.

..most unbiased would probably agree with me(although many purist will reject the idea)....as I believe most would have Jordan at the top of the all-time list(or minimum #2), while West remains on the outside looking in...why not update/enhance an old look and have the best player that has ever played represent your product?...

We've seen them both run teams.
West is like a fully restored Charger.
Jordan is like a decrepit DeLorean.
