So only black people like Jazz, they moved from NOLA and didn't change their name, lots of teams do that e.g. LA Lakers moved from the land of a thousand lakes, who cares?

gosh that's horrible.
This looks like a logo of a soft drink or something like that to me.

Can't wait for 12 more topics with the logo posted!

WTF? What does the name "Jazz" have to do with the ethnicity of people? I don't get this!

I liked the Black Red and Gold logo that was posted here... It was different from all the rest...


It seems that they will look like the Bobcats. And the logo seems that was made by a 5 year old kid :S



Really disappointed

I want to add another point, what the hell does this logo have to do with thunder any way, no lighting bolt or storm clouds, just a logo on an orange background :?

GODAWFUL!!! Can't believe that logo and color scheme was approved! Isn't the goal to sell jerseys and other stuff? This is a damn shame, they got ridd of the Sonics for this mess?? Franchise will be on the move again in like 4 to 5 years, management is a joke. :lol:

So I was wrong. The logotype combinations are terrible, and I don't understand the connection with the logo and "Thunder." It has no meaning other than being a basketball in a shield with a couple swooshes.

I still find it very plain, very generic. I could see them updating it within a few years.

even like a hammer of thor could be made into thunder...gotta say i have no artistic ability and coulda done better than this. However Thunder is a sorta of abstract concept. Its a sound wave so how do you make a visual representation of that?

That too, though it doesn't lend itself to a logo quite like a lightning bolt.
