Potential New Clippers Uniforms for 2015-16

Clippers Forum » Clippers News & General Discussions

They can do a lot better than that...

I like the black but the logo blows.

Anyway, more important things to worry about right now...

why even change my beloved clipper jerseys to begin with? hell to the no with any "modern" "new clippers" changes. the jersey is iconic.

Can I say butt ugly on this board, because those are butt ugly. What we have now is fine. How about worry about basketball and not some POS new uniform.

I'd love to see that Black uni color palette on one of the current uni designs. Love that color combo.

I like the idea of changing the logo since it's way too similar to the lakers logo, with the ball and the name, and cursive writing, time to step away from that.

However on that note, please no to that logo. I can barely stand the playoff one they came up with, now this. My varsity basketball jersey is better looking than this, and that shan't ever happen with a pro league.

Been asking for this for years. But their suggested one or rumored one is hideous. If they want black and orange Braves colors with San Diego ship logo... oh lord I'd have mangasms. Be unique! No more red plz. 19 NBA teams are red!

I've always wanted to see the clippers add black to their uniforms. I have a black Clippers jersey with blue and red borders and it looks sick and I get compliments for it, even from Clipper haters. The logo looks fugley, though. Either stick to the current logo or have the logo have something to do with an actual Clipper ship.

That logo looks more like a replacement for the secondary logo than the first. And it's still Just a bootleg Cubs logo

I like the cursive writing because I figure the Dodgers started it, the Fakers and the Clippers copied the Dodgers as sort of an LA thing. I think the Clipper logo looks a lot like a basketball version of the Dodger logo also,trying to be all LA.

"The redesign, however, is still in the early stages and team sources cautioned that the leaked images were simply two of many options being looked at."

If they're smart, management will be scouring forums like this to see Clippers fans' opinions. After all, we're the ones who will be buying them... or not.

So if you're reading this, Ms. Zucker... They're fugly! Back to the drawing board.

Agreed, the Dodgers has had that logo since Brooklyn. So I think the FO's thinking , or whomever is trying to change the clippers logo, is to be more unique, especially if I look at the younger generations and people who are not well informed with the clippers history or even LA sports history, trying to compare the two basketball teams, and since the laker came here first, all I hear is "well the clippers copied the lakers." Which I can't back that up since it was DS who was in charge of the clippers. Then the banner talks come up, and this whole legendary lakers argument comes up. Now we all know that's bull and crappy argument.

In my defense, I shut them up with, LA lakers only have eleven rings, the rest happened in Minneapolis. Ask them who the first coach that won LA it's first ring, and of course they don't know who. Then they talk about the rings. So I just counter with the "hot ex girlfriend in high school" argument, yes your ex was hot, she may hAve been a model then, a prom queen, but she isn't now, but my girlfriend is, so get over it. But I digress.

My point is, I hate giving laker fans ammunition for any argument. So a change of logo is a step towards that. Anything close and/or resembles the lakers logo, style, colors, etc? I'm all for change.

Excuse my rAnt, as you can see I argue with many laker fans lol I applogize

Just terrible. What are those ribbon things? How does this represent the Clipper brand? It seriously looks like clipart. PLEASE no.

That new liogo looks like it was done by a graffic student. Totaly uncreative and obtuse what design firm did they hire? A professional studio should not be putting out such ameturish work. This concept should not have passed thumbnail skech phase.

They've got to be able to do better than that! Are you kidding me?

No wonder jerseys were on sale for 60% off hahahahhaa. I bought some too oh men

Hideous!

I like old school jersey where it has the same cut as a tank top

I already email her. She usually answers back often. I also email Steve Ballmer.

I can live with the black one, the red one however...'

There's bunch of designers working over this, surely they can come up with something better...

they need some sleeves...

look like something golden state players would wear..

also the logo is square..

keep the c the way it is..

black with some silver is the way to go..

kind of like the raiders colors..

Puke, eff the Raiders.

I hope they are more creative with their final product. That logo looks hideous. Although I do not mind adding black, the main colors should not change. Red, white and royal blue with black added would be awesome.

I always wanted a rework of this jersey but with LAC instead of ATL. Like our navy blue with white font and red trim. http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Zolli8/KKAL.JPG

Those logo's are terrible, looks very unprofessional/from a different era or something, nothing good.

Make Hawes wear it. Kind of a 21st century dunce cap!

I think that's the problem, they have a whole group of designers weighing in.

Have you ever heard the saying, "a camel is a horse designed by committee"?

That's what this trash looks like. I'm confident that this will never see the light of day again

With this potential new re-design, the Clippers' identity has been completely obliterated. The logo is too plain, doesn't serve the team well, and clearly does not represent. Erase and start over, please.

It looks like they are going for a design that a middle school kid designed winning a contest.

I've spoken to Ms. Zucker via email.. She is aware of the leaked prototype design. She doesn't want this to be a distraction. She wants fans to support our team & achieve the goal of getting a title. She also said they will look at all other designs in the summer (but not now).

I hope to God these uniforms don't become reality - absolutely awful.

Awful is an understatement, they're downright hideous! 😖

Why not these but with the last name on back.

Not feeling that "LA" inside the C.

Yeah that uniform looks horrendous. No way that's actually being considered. I kind of don't want them to change colors and unis but if they have to, please don't do that. There has to better designs to consider than that.

Just don't change the name of the franchise.

Eh, that is bland as bland can be, and the C-L-A is just confusing form.

I like some of these redesigns below that others have done, which encapsulate more of that "Clipper" theme. I think it's probably too cluttered, but it least it's far more interesting than the suggested ones.

Anyways, I'm glad to know that this "leak" to the public has gotten uniform disapproval, and apparently the Clippers are aware of it.

I don't think we'll have to worry about these becoming official.

This is all of them if you guys haven't seen them

I was bored so I made a new logo that's more nautical both in symbol and color scheme, and keeps a similar script for "Los Angeles". Don't rip it too much haha.

Remember when clippyclip made this? A way better starting point if the franchise needs help. But some other dude is getting paid to play on MS Paint.

I love the rebranding effort and especially love incorporating black jerseys. The Clippers have taken on a villain role this season and black would play into that.

Hopefully, the final product looks a little more polished than what was leaked.

Ah, there is nothing better than stripping any identity out of a franchise. So the Clippers are basically going to be known as The Pacman Gang based on this leaked new logo. If somebody got money to produce that, he or she should be shot dead for lack of any imagination or creativity. As a designer, I am disgusted by this Sega Genesis type of thing. Who cares about the trendy black when you have Ms PACMAN in the middle!

Ha thanks man. I actually sent this to their VP of marketing the other day. Doesn't hurt to try haha!

Good man, Hopefully it makes its way through the necessary departments and makes them realize that their current re-design is dog sh!t.

An anchor would be an awesome secondary logo.

Wait, so is this really gonna happen? Those ugly ass jerseys are not just part of some sick rumor?

A rebrand is definitely happening. The "leaked" designs are (were) probably what they're leaning towards and wanted feedback from the public. Hopefully they've heard and internalized the negative reaction and either go with one of the other directions that we hope was better, or they go back to the drawing board and work up some more options.
