Clippers Primary Logo

The Los Angeles Clippers have a long and storied history with their primary logo. The team was first established in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves, and their original logo featured an orange basketball with a blue outline, inside of which was a white buffalo head. This design would remain unchanged until 1976 when the team relocated to San Diego and changed its name to the Clippers. At this time, they adopted an updated version of their previous logo featuring two crossed swords behind a red shield that contained both the new “Clippers” name along with another depiction of the buffalo head from before.

This version remained in place for more than 20 years until 1997 when it underwent some minor changes such as updating colors to match those found on newer uniforms being worn by players at that time (blue/red/white). Additionally, they removed all text from within the shield itself leaving just the image alone - making it a much simpler yet still recognizable symbol fans could identify and easily recognize even without words associated with it, particularly in relation to the Los Angeles Clippers Alternate logo. Finally, 2005 saw a major overhaul entire design process: instead using traditional sword-and-shield motifs seen in earlier logos; now there were simply three stars above the letter "C" representing the California state flag while also creating a unique look that wouldn't be confused with any other NBA franchise's emblematic imagery!

In conclusion, over nearly 50 years since its inception back in 1970 Los Angeles Clippers have gone through several iterations of primary logos but one thing remains constant: iconic imagery has always been the part identity of this beloved franchise no matter what changes may come about with future designs or color schemes used throughout course organization's history!
