Me too, or at least the ugliest. I don't think they would change the pinwheel which would be the worst case scenario. Could you imagine though? There would be riots...

Why would the two guys who have talked about building a culture in Portland, have gone almost over the top in trying to suck up to the "Portland cannot ever change" mentality, all the sudden throw that all away on stupid uniform changes?

Sometimes you people are too paranoid for your own good
 
In the interests of having more space to sell advertising, I think the uniforms should be full length body suits. Maybe with a cape for added real estate.
 
It doesn't matter what the update is because it's going to be ruined by ad patches. Pathetic. I can see it now...Les Schwab, Franz Bread, Columbia Sportswear, Club205, Mrs. HCP...it's gonna be horrible

The pinwheel is not tilted.
You’re leaning to the left too far. It will be perfect if you lean more to the right.

Reminds me of a dumb joke from my favorite show "West Wing"

"You know what I like most about being vice president? IF you look at the logo and lean your head to the left just right... it reads alot PRESIDENT of the United States"
 
How do you modernize the damn pinwheel while keeping the same look?

So the Blazers are going to be like the priests in Priest and just destroy everybody in their path

This quote concerns me. Nike has a reputation for having great designers, but I think it's a reputation similar to Nate McMillan's reputation for being a great defensive coach, LA's reputation for being a great mid-range shooter, and all the other undeserved reputations throughout the league and life. Nike's design, IMO, is often lazy. Example - one of their chief designers was tapped to do the Star Wars x Pendleton blankets that were released in the run-up to TFA. While there's nothing inherently wrong with these, it feels like a missed opportunity for something that could have been awesome. I mean, it's basically some clip art with some standard geometric patterns interwoven. Can't imagine he spent more than an afternoon on these designs.

Perhaps that bodes well for not messing with our identity too much, but I'm not excited about having Nike in charge of our re-design. Hopefully the Blazers aren't already married to the idea of working with them and will be open to walking away from Nike if they don't bring the goods.
 
I hope Nike doesn't go all Oregon Ducks on our uniforms.

There needs to be some retro element involved, IMO. I loved some of the old designs and fonts. Haven't been interested in any of the designs for many years.

And for god sakes: Kill the stupid slanted box pinwheel. Fuck.
 
PTB Typeface 2 - Black.jpg On the eve of the season I thought I'd post some designs I made while playing around in Illustrator. I'd prefer if we just used the typeface from the 80s, but it sounds like McGowan is intent on a new design. With that in mind I drew heavily from my favorite typeface, while making an obviously new typeface.

I threw together a new logo real quick, and wasn't sure I'd even share it. But the more I've looked at it the more it has grown on me. Obviously some outlining could be added to give it more depth/detail, but I haven't had a chance to dress it up yet. With the original 5 arms of the pinwheel representing the 5 players of each team squaring off, the bar connecting the tips represents the bench backing up the 5 players on the floor.

Outstanding job! Its probably a dumb idea but your lettering looks like it could easily incorporate an abstract Mt. Hood right in the middle. It sorta kinda looks that way now.....and I couldn't figure out how the pinwheel could ever be dressed up....other than untilting it....but you hit it on the head! Great idea! Tell McGowan you'll do the redesign for a fraction of Nike's price.......
