Pros Logo History
Memphis Pros Logo History has been around since the team was founded in 1978. The original logo featured a blue and white basketball with the word "MEMPHIS" written across it, along with two stars above it to represent the city of Memphis. This logo was used until 1987 when it changed its name to Memphis Sounds and updated its look by introducing an orange-and-blue color scheme as well as a new shield design featuring a silhouette of Elvis Presley’s head inside. The current logos feature an abstract “M” shape that is made up of several different elements including three stars, which are meant to represent each division within the organization (basketball, football, and baseball). Additionally, there are multiple shades of blue that give off an overall gradient effect throughout all versions of this logo.
The most recent update came in 2018 when they unveiled their newest identity after rebranding from Grizzlies back to Pros following another ownership change for the franchise. This time around though instead of going for just one main version like before; they opted for four separate options based on what type or level you were representing such as youth/minor league teams or professional levels like NBA G League affiliates etc. Each variation still features some sort of M shape but now also includes additional colors such as yellow or red alongside traditional blues while also adding subtle texturing effects to help bring out more details within each design element itself making them much more visually appealing than previous iterations had been previously seen over past decades prior.
Overall Memphis Pros Logo History has gone through many changes over its 40-plus years of existence but continues to remain consistent in keeping true core values intact no matter how times have changed since first being established way back in 1978 when originally named themselves simply “Memphis” at outset before eventually settling into today's modernized version that we know recognize see currently sported proudly both locally nationally alike without fail every single day!
