The Logo is Jerry West of the Lakers and it represents the NBA. The Lakers are the NBA. No one's going to put MJ's ugly ass as the logo.

..lol, you want a reaction so bad...but even you know I'm right on about this...you're just homerizing this issue, as well you should...

What reaction would I be expecting? The Logo shows the roots of the game. West played for the most glamorous franchise in the sport. He'll be the Logo for a loooooonnnnnng time. This was a cute "what if", though.

I could also fuck you up, if you want to be fucked up.
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...

..no, West just happen to be the authors flavor at the time('69), simple as that...playing for the Lakers doesn't matter, even the NBA doesn't want a recognizable individual as the logo...you're not an old fart, so your only other allegiance to the logo is the guy played for the Lakers...so I get why you are adamant about this not changing...

hilarious that you think West is outdated, but you want to highlight a player from 20 years ago.

so change it to Jordan, then 20 yeard from now to LeBron? Oh a gay player comes out who is decent, change it to them? Change it now and you'll be forever stuck changing it for every little thing.
You know what the worst thing about the end of the day is? Tomorrow, it starts all over again.
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

..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...

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?...
