Here are the logos for that concept, looks pretty nice.
I hope the NBA makes something similar like this.

That looks pretty sick, though the NBA have probably already decided on a crappy jersey design and logo already.

The NBA has filed for trademark rights to six nicknames for the league's new Oklahoma City franchise: Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind.

An attorney for the league made the filing Monday with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Marshal is usually spelled with one l. It's not clear why the league used a variant spelling.


:lol: As far as I'm concerned, that's a spelling error.

Barons and Thunder sound good. The rest suck, who the hell would call their team Oklahoma City Energy??? Sounds like a WNBA team.

Why are they filing for the trademarks now? Though they had already decided.

A change in colour wouldn't hurt, black and gold would be better in my opinion. Great designs though.

i dunno why the guy making these has a hard on for that nasty doo doo color.

and maybe Donyell Marshall is making a comeback


I have my money on Barons. that's the most traditional team name left. Isn't there an Iowa Energy team already?

Not bad either, though a different colour scheme wouldn't go astray.

Different color scheme is a good idea. I'm always reminded of Cleveland when I see those designs.

Me too, it's just a little too close to the Cavs' wine and gold.

I hope they stay with the black/gold colorway and stay away from the blue...There are just too many teams with blue colors already...
