Brooklyn Nets Primary Logo

The Brooklyn Nets will have a black-and-white color scheme, which pays homage to the old New York subway signage system. This new logo is now called "the new badge of Brooklyn" by a very optimistic Nets CEO Brett Yormark. The logo was designed by part owner and hip hop legend Jay-Z's design group, Timothy Morris (the one who designed the logo) is one of Jay-Z’s primary designers.

The Nets brought back the shield concept from their first logo while keeping the basketball that has been part of all but one. Most significantly, the team changed its color scheme for the first time: deepening the red and swapping royal blue for navy, also adding silver and dark grey.
