truly timeless

The small inside part of the antlers form a basketball as well.

I like this logo but I feel with a bit of tweaking it could be truly great. I don't like the colors or the typography. I don't think I could win any arguments over the colors because I get that they are going for a woodland type scheme to compliment the buck. I still find it somewhat unappealing. The type is awful tho.

I forgot to add, the "m" inside the neck is a nice touch but I think it could have been implemented a bit better. I think it's too angular/sharp. Makes it kind've feel unfinished to me. Like I said before, this logo is a few tweaks away from being one of the best in the league.

how have I never noticed this

I can't remember but I think I read somewhere that the NBA mandated every team get new logos and one of the criteria was that an actual basketball be included somewhere in the logo. If you look here>>288487 you can see 3 different logos where the last one has a basketball in it. Every team has one main logo with two alternates. I think only one of the three needs to have a basketball in it. So yeah, if you look through every teams' logos, one will have a basketball in it somewhere. The Bucks logo is probably the most clever tho.

except the Bulls?

The bulls and spurs and maybe a couple others currently don't have basketballs in their logos. I tried searching for the mandate that said every team should have a basketball in their logo and couldn't find it, so take what I said with a big grain of salt until I can prove it. Also, I don't remember reading about a deadline so teams could conceivably rebrand for next year.

Here's some more conjecture: I think the new logo styles have something to do with the impending inclusion of advertising on the jerseys. That and I think they are trying to make graphics for broadcasting more consistent.

If I find a source I'll post it.

The three lines above the brow? The colour of the bull? Maybe I'm seeing things, but it definitely has some basketball characteristics.

If you turn the bulls logo upside down it looks like a robot reading a book

Okay. I found some links and some information. The bulls logo and presumably the spurs logo are grandfathered in to the new guidelines. Advertisements are coming to the jerseys for the 2017-18 season so assuming the new branding is because of that, teams that don't have logos that meet guidelines and are not grandfathered in, have until next season to comply.

The "basketball" guideline is confirmed here:

They talk about the rules midway through the article here:

So one of a teams three logos must have a basket ball in it and one of the logos must fit in a circle. The circle logo could also have a basketball in it, fulfilling two requirements in one. I think the circle logo is mandatory because they want continuity for their broadcast graphics across all networks. If the logo is in a circle you can just swap the teams without compromise to the networks own graphics.

Forgot to add, this is still speculation on my part. It's based partly on observation of what logos they use during broadcast. The New York Knicks logo on the left in pic related gets used a lot for television broadcasts but isn't really used anywhere else, for example.

neat

That is literally the only unappealing design pictured.
