Their 60's logo (not sure if I like this more or their new one more)

current i'm assuming? there are a lot of vintage nba logos i love (some of them admittedly kind of ugly, but fuck it)

current top tier:
Golden State Warriors
Atlanta Hawks
and Chicago Bulls because they've never needed to change. It's so iconic. Doesn't really make any sense but it works.

I'm biased though because I'm a chicagoan. Blackhawks jersey/logo is the best in sports.

This, honestly.
Perfect example of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Cosigning the sentiment about the bulls. It's a perfect sports logo. It's got character, it looks ferocious and cool simultaneously, and it's just a great graphic

I don't like the colors for one. That khaki color is kind of gross. I also don't like the angles, the sharp edges on the face and neck. the typography is awful as well. A lot of teams have really bad type treatments tho.

The old orlando magic logo from the 90's is great. Not sure why they changed it.

I think Trail Blazers have a bad logo.
It looks like a hiking shoe company, not an NBA team. It's a boring logo.

Also the Pelicans logo looks like the Skullgirls logo.

I don't like the blazers logo either. What is it supposed to be? I guess a saw-blade in motion. I don't know but it never sat well with me, even as a kid. Also, that type is awful. Sports teams in general tend to have the worst typography.

Brooklyn Nets have a nice logo.
I like its simplicity; it's not too busy or tryhard.
Also for once, the typography is quite nice imo.

>>242813
I like the nets logo as well. It got a lot of hate when it was revealed. I like it because it looks good painted on the floor. The barclays center has a nice dark hardwood floor and this looks perfect on it. It looks pretty good on apparel such as hats. Also the nets were the first team to make a "coin" logo. The circle logo that's now mandated for every team now.

I don't like the Celtics logo. I think there is something funny with the line work the needs to be cleaned up. I think they have the best uniform rotation tho. The clover on the back, below the neck is a nice touch

>>242815
In my opinions, the Celtics have never had a good primary logo.

I like their 98/99 alternate logo even if it is a little obvious.
