- UPDATED VERSION FOR 2021: • NBA Logos Through the ...
See below for timestamps.
NBA logos are some of the most creative in all of professional sports, outside of minor league baseball at least. From the Toronto Raptors early days of a giant purple/red dinosaur that was far more ferocious than Barney, to the Denver Nuggets rainbow-infused skyline that sparked some of the best jerseys ever. There's traditionalists who never change a thing, the Chicago Bulls are the only team to never change their logo, and the undecided nature of teams like the Washington Wizards who can never quite nail down a color scheme. Retro NBA logos are also some the most used out of the four major sports leagues when it comes to jerseys, shirts and hats. You can find fiesta-themed San Antonio Spurs gear just as often as the more mellowed out silver and black that they wear today. NBA fans take pride in many of their team's old logos, and as each team rolls out another new look, the evolution of team logos throughout the years is an interesting process to witness.

Only Rockets and Raptors changed ;)

@@wintermute8315 amen bro
That Bulls logo is iconic. Never change old bull, Never change.
Funny how the Original Bulls were the Washington Wizards... no wonder Jordan wanted to play for them.
BULLSNATION
...but it seems to be inspired by Chicago packers
I feel like at this point it’s been so long they can’t and shouldn’t change it
Yeah unlike Chicago fire they fucked up their logo 🤦🏻♂️
"how many Times did you change the logo?"
Bulls: "no"
Wizards: YESSS

@@danielmakhlouf8931 Warriors: yes
Bulls are the oldest bro
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C you fuckin stupid shut the fuck up
i love how everyone else started out with sketchy ass shit and the bulls just come out of the gate with a perfect, iconic logo
Fr
Then came Hornets, another kickass first logo.
should be renamed "how every NBA logo became a circle"
Except my bulls
@@ricardoolea5114 ...and jazz.
Well in the 90s there was "big bold letter logo" trend, now it is circle, who knows what will be popular in the next decades.
I was fr thinking the exact same thing who knows what's going to be the new trend with logos
They're made to be patches.
Milwaukee went from "Hey honey coming over for the holidays?" to "You talking to me, punk?"
That's my Bucks
LMAO
I love all of their logos!
milwaukee the only team to make deers look cool
My team don’t play lol
5:13 thats a damn tennis ball
Lmao dang that accuracy
back in the day they use to play with a tenneis ball to optimize scoring %
Haha didn’t even catch that
No 5:56 is
3:51 thats a damn volleyball
Props to whoever designed the modern pelicans logo. They made one of the goofiest birds to ever live look downright threatening
They'll eventually rebrand or relocate, dropping that goofy Pelican nonsense lol
@@darkmatter7668 Nah if you know the history of the name it was a really good change
@Sonic Optics Spurs are a great organization but I think they have the most goofy name
@@Joshua-dl3ns Really? I believe “Pistons” my (hometown)have the goofy name as well as Nuggets and cavaliers.
@@darkmatter7668 if they rebrand it'll be back to the old "Jazz" name. What makes you think they'll relocate tho?
Overwhelming amout of 3d logos in the late 90-s to early 00-s. Some of them still super fire tho, like the Pistons one.
Also Bulls - what a timeless piece.
I wish the old pistons logo would come back
Same and im not even a fan
2005 - 17 Pistons logo isn’t bad at all and is kinda clean for the present day look, the new one perhaps sucks
Warriors one at that time was fire too
No the 90s logos are super bad
Washington can't decide over a damn color.
It’s because the team kept relocating
Neither can Atlanta
It's ironic that the Washington Wizards copied colours off the the Washington Capitals.
@@pennsylvanianrrfoamer No irony. Wizards and Capitals owned by the same person, Abe Pollin.
Bring back the Bullets!
it sounds like the background music was made in garage band lmao
John Stamos it gave me a headache
yeah
the background music sucks
Yeah I was like if this kick drum doesn’t get tf out of my ear
Am i the only one who kinda likes it?
The old Miami Heat logo was soooooo good.
Yeah I agree
Can you feel the heat down in your soul?
fr! idk why they changed it to those ketchup and mustard colors, they need to change it back
The purple Raptors logo will forever be amazing. Should’ve never changed it.
Is the best, why they change this logo?????
@@gustavobarbosa2238 probably because purple isn't very intimidating.
@@LikeMyProfilePic any color can be intimidating with a proper designer lol
The present logo is also a good one. A basketball with a dinosaur paw is full of a sense of design. The only problem is that too many teams choose to use a circle as the central part of their logos nowadays.
@@gustavobarbosa2238 They change it to simpler logos to save on printing costs. notice how most logos nowadays are getting more simplified.
I'm a huge Celtics fan but I always wondered why the first 4 logos look like they locked an artist in a room with some crayons
Afnaan Syed I’m a huge Celtics fan to and I’m kinda disappointed they never really changed their logo to much

And as a result it looks iconic
Talk about DaBulls' loyalty 😂
Heat was close. One slight colour change.
@@nicholastang6343 the problem with the heats is that they made it worse that orange and black is fire
logos from mid 90's to early-ish 2000 are my childhood logos and are definitely the best for me!
I was about to make that comment but a 💯.
They def got real unique at that time, my favorite too
Celtics: We’ve changed our logo 5 Times
Bulls: We still have the same logo
Sonics: You guys still have a team?
Celtics have actually changed their logo 6 times
@@gilbertdennis4872 It did change 5 times, because the clover was the original one. From then, they changed 5 times.
Seems like the 90's had several teams use gaudy flashy designs and unusual color schemes only to revert back to something more traditional later.
A lot of horrid 90's designs. Too many heavy outlines used. Glad to see the garish beveled typeface effect go away.
Franz Ferdinand I agree with this 100 percent ie sixers, pistons, Sonics etc
Darrell Ludlow the 90s logos were the best
Darrell Ludlow bro the 90's Logos had so much character and uniqueness. Now all the logos are the same minimalist crap.
@@johnmaddenforsmash8993 And you can say the same about jerseys and courts too. Look at how the Rockets arena in the late 90s versus today. Or the Golden State Warriors even. Night and day difference.
2:42 its like a spot the difference quiz
The ball is slightly darker
The shield is also slightly darker
The horse is slightly darker.
@@aleksandarstojilovic ok no
The team is... wait.
As a European it is really hard for me to see a team changing town.
I don't understand how is it possible?
It’s so fucking telling that they have “logos”. American teams are just brands. European teams are clubs.
@@andro_system because sports teams in America are essentially businesses. They can move from city to city as they please
@@albinjohnsson2511 wait then what are the European team icons called?
That 1966-to now Chicago Bulls logo was 🔥
Most NBA Teams: Change their logo every couple decades to match new eras in team history
Chicago Bulls: One and done, you don't mess with success, etc.
I'm not even a Sonics fan and seeing it change still hurts
Sammie try being one from Charlotte lol
My condolences to the supersonics fans. It was very unfair what happened to them. A pity for a franchise with so much history. Those motherfuckers stole a piece of Seattle.
I’m a blazers fan and I’m with you on that
I kinda have stop watching NBA in the ealiers 2000s, so, I always wonder what the hell happened to the sonics everytime I watch something about the NBA.
Just recently I read that they become the thunders!
Anyway, what happened to them to change to a different city and name?
Same goes for hornets thing! Not sure what happened there too.
They change for bobcats, then hornets again, but was another hornets team and now are pelicans!!!
Damn... This 10/15 years seens like a mess and the NBA Imo kinda lost that uniqueness it have.
I kinda start watching again, and sometimes the damn games looks like 3 point shooting contest!
I never got to see them play. I was born in 2005
The Chicago Bulls logo is just the perfect logo for any sports team IMO... It's simplistic, it's symmetrical, and it's easily identified. Now it's iconic. Like the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
It started as the packers, then the zephyrs, and it came to be the Chicago bulls as we know it today
The golden state warriors’s logos are the definition of “copy my homework but change it a bit so the teacher doesn’t notice”
The Knicks too
Haha lol!
The logo they have now its horrible lol
@@5thgen691 No, it looks better and pretty good to me. Represents the new home at San Francisco if you look at the bigger picture.

**Year Goes By**
Washington Wizards:
"Should we change the logo"
"Aight Bet"
And now it just looks like trash
The Bullets just changed shades of blue like 4 times
Lol!
90's up to early 2000's was the most creative NBA team logo for me.. 🔥🔥🔥
3:31 that pistons 1996 logo was lit🔥
I remember it being ugly in 96 and it's still ugly now. There's a reason they changed it back.
@@darkmatter7668 In my opinion, much better than today's, but respect your thoughts
I think the 2001 one has better colors imo
Then it went super boring
also '97 warriors
The bulls never change
NOPE
And they never will. Too iconic and too much history. Just like the other Chicago sports logos.
No need, that bull is iconic.
Welp,that’s Classic
EXACTLY
11:41 Are we just gonna ignore that?
What the atrocious logo or the name? Lmao
Yes... yes we are 🤢
Lmao
What are those😂😂
Chicago Mother "Packers"
As someone who’s been to dozens of bulls games, I hope that logo never changes
It's too iconic to change now.
9:28 wow that blazers logo looks dope, can't believe it was designed in the 70s...
It's funny that the Blazers logo looked more dated the more times they updated it. The first logo looks the most modern.
damn the nuggets first logo is hilarious :D
“I FOUND MESELF A BERSKETBILL!!!”
@@FireballFlareblitz734 😂😂😂😂
The 2nd one too, the Tetris nuggets
Viking.
It was super cool!
As someone who grew up in the 90s/00s, the logos with the the big colors, words and graphics will always be how I remember them.
2002-2017 San Antonio Spurs logo was iconic to me
Chicago Bulls have such a basic yet unique logo it will never need to change
That 88-99 miami heat logo was 🔥🔥🔥
Straight up, might be the best nba logo ever. That logo screams HEAT !
@War Productions ИМ Those 90's designs were atrocious and didn't standthe test of time at all ! your attachment to these is 100% emotional you prolly got into ball around late 90's early 2000's. The old heat logo will still be hot 25 years from now.
A great designer once said "a logo isn't communication, it's identification" Those 90's logos all look the same from 5meters away
The logo on one of those Satin Starter jackets. It was lit!
I wish they never changed it
R/technically the truth 😂
Da Bulls: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
BULLS Logo is Legendary...no need to change it 👌🏼
Not a bulls fan , but massive respect in keeping it real from day 1
40 years of supersonics just to be changed to the thunder. We need the Sonics back again.
Agreed. Even the thunders logos/emblem stuff is lame compared to all of the Sonics’ which were always iconic.
And Gary P. and Shawn Kemp can be coaches
Oklahoma City has embraced the Thunder more since 2008 than Seattle did the Sonics since the 90s. Seattle lost the team because they took them for granted. OKC has the second longest streak of consecutive home sold out games behind the Mavericks. Over 400 straight sold out games. Seattle could never
@@boytastic8879 it's a better city tho
@@boytastic8879 troll.
Original 'Sonics logo was real fly, actually. Really clever bit of design.
I agree with you
Especially for that time period!
Yeah, I'd never seen that one and it's one of the best pieces of design work of anything here, present day included. Very clearn.
6:11 is no one gonna talk about how good this logo looks, I prefer it over the one the heat have now
The old one looks better
Can you feel the heat down in your soul?

@@dabruhdude1177 yeah because Oklahoma city is too small for a nba franchise its the smallest market in the nba
I like okc and their jerseys are better. They should make the sonics an expansion team
@@chriswolf1089 Apologies in advance for the long response. This isn’t a terribly important discussion, so no worries if you don’t feel like engaging with my response.
It’s not the smallest, but it is in a pack with Memphis, New Orleans, Milwaukee, and Utah (Salt Lake City) as the smallest markets depending on what metric you’re using to determine that label. There’s not really any such thing as “too small of a market” when it comes to sports teams. It has more to do with how much value a franchise is worth. Size of a market can play a big role in that a lot of the time - the biggest cities always have the most valuable franchises even if they aren’t very exciting on the court and the smallest cities will usually be in the bottom half regardless of how good their team actually is - but an owner and the NBA are going to be more interested in the value of the team over how big the city is. The main way city size comes into play is that having a team in a larger market is going to generally be better for team value since there are more potential fans to draw from without trying to market the team over larger regions, which it is also easier for bigger city teams to draw fans from outside their region since outside fans are going to generally be more familiar with New York or Chicago than Portland or Sacramento; in other words, big city teams do have a much easier time being financially valuable. When the SuperSonics were sold in 2006, they sold for $325 million. Today they are worth around $1.66 billion. That follows along the bell curve of the average worth of NBA franchises. Of course, they were doing better financially during their most successful years, but with the pandemic and the abysmal season for the Thunder, their value was actually one of the lowest increases with only the Brooklyn Nets having a lower change.
The Thunder generally rank somewhere around 20 in terms of value, which isn’t fantastic, but they’re regularly above teams like Memphis and New Orleans and even much larger cities like Atlanta and Minnesota (Minneapolis). Of course, the Thunder have had a lot of on court success since their relocation from one of the better markets in the NBA (Seattle) to a much smaller market. All it takes is a 5-10 period of bad basketball and they could be a bottom 3 team in terms of value. That is something we’ll have to see if they ever do go that route. All that to say that it’s true to say that Oklahoma City is one of the smallest markets in the NBA but it’s inaccurate to suggest the team should be elsewhere due to Oklahoma City being too small to support a team. I would actually argue that the Los Angeles Clippers are in a worse geographic location than the Oklahoma City Thunder are, although the Clippers do quite well value wise since they are in Los Angeles despite actually having less of a geographic appeal than the Nuggets or Spurs, for example.
@@mabybee I don’t find it believable the meta value didn’t go up with them favorites to win the nba

It’s interesting to see so many eventually become circles and similar to soccer badges.
It becomes especially obvious with the Hawks' logo change in 2015. The fact that it has "Basketball Club" written in their new logo reflects how they wanna emulate association football club badges so bad (I mean, do regular people even call basketball teams "clubs"??).
In my opinion, the best logos in the NBA are those of the mid-90s to the early 2000s. Too cool.

love the 40s to 80s logos i wasn’t even born during that era but so nostalgic
I like how a lot of teams went back to their old logos a bit
Why the Pistons changed their logo from that cool horse one back to that shitty basketball layout is beyond me
They simplified traditionalist movement in graphic design. Most went from cartoony to enhanced with bevels and gradients, back to simplified with fewer colors.
Also, for the Pistons specifically, they wanted to harken back to the, "Glory days." (quote included)
Because it was overdesigned af like virtually all 90s sports logos. Now there’s a minimalist push, especially in basketball where a majority of logos are circular, so we see the opposite
That cool horse logo was never cool. It belongs on a chess board. The only semi-decent part of it was the tailpipes and even that was overkill.
I always thought the 90s had the best logos
This beat made me feel so weird
😂
This video reminded me of how much i miss the old logos but how clean a lot of the newer logos look
