Nuggets Alternate Logo

The Denver Nuggets have had a long and storied history with their alternate logo designs. Since the team's inception in 1976, they have gone through several iterations of logos to represent its brand. From the original mountain-inspired design to more modern interpretations, each version has its own unique story behind it that speaks to the heart of Denver basketball fans everywhere.

The first alternate logo for the Nuggets was designed in 1985 and featured an orange circle with a blue outline around it containing two mountains on either side as well as two stars above them representing Colorado’s state flag. This design remained relatively unchanged until 2003 when a new look was introduced featuring an abstract “D” inside of a yellow diamond shape surrounded by three white stars which were meant to symbolize unity among fans and players alike – something that continues today under this same logo style but now include four stars instead of three for added emphasis on its message about togetherness within the organization.

In 2016, another major change came when yet another updated version was released featuring an all-new color palette consisting mainly of navy blue, light gray, and gold hues along with some subtle hints at traditional Native American symbolism such as feathers incorporated into certain aspects of like lettering or shapes – all coming together beautifully in order create one cohesive image that truly captures what being part Denver Nugget is really all about! The current iteration has since become widely recognized amongst both casual observers who may not be familiar with basketball teams from other cities while also appealing strongly to those loyal supporters who cheer proudly every game day no matter where they are located geographically speaking.
