Re: New logo NBA
Part of what makes the NBA logo so great is the fact that unless you know it's Jerry West you wouldn't think "hey that's Jerry West" it could be anybody. I'm not saying never change it just because "yay tradition!", but I also realize there isn't a reason to change it as well.. So until there is a good idea/reason I think it should stay put. Just my opinion. Picking Kobe immediately after his death is the definition of a knee-jerk reaction, like I mentioned I don't see the sudden insistence to change it to him now, he wasn't even one of the previous options before when this was being talked about...
Either way if they go this route, I hope it's something simple like him dribbling for the same reasons I like the current logo.. The suggestions of the Kareem sky hook, Jordan logo, LeBron signature dunk that were making the rounds before were all equally awful choices because they didn't represent the league as a whole but rather just those players in particular. I don't want to see the NBA go that route with some awful cheesy Kobe logo just because he passed, to me that just makes this whole situation worse. It's like "hey not only did Kobe pass but to honor him we are going to create the worst logo in pro sports".. I don't want to see that happen, just my opinion.
