Minneapolis Lakers Alternate Logo

Clash of Logos - NBA Banner

Lakers Alternate Logo

The Minneapolis Lakers have a long and storied history, stretching back to their founding in 1947. The team has had several different logos over the years, each one reflecting the changing times and culture of basketball. From their first logo featuring an abstract “M” representing Minnesota to today’s modernized version with purple and gold lettering, there is something special about every design that makes it unique.

One of the most iconic alternate logos for the Lakers was designed by legendary graphic designer Saul Bass in 1954. It featured a bold yellow circle with two interlocking L's inside it – one white and one black – symbolizing the unity between players on both sides of racial divides during this era in American sports history. This logo would be used until 1968 when it was replaced by another classic design featuring more modern typography set against an image of a lake surrounded by mountains; this version remained unchanged until 1975 when yet another update came along which included updated colors as well as minor tweaks to font size/style etc.

Today, while not officially part of any official branding or merchandise releases from a Los Angeles-based organization (which acquired them after they relocated from Minneapolis), many fans still love these vintage designs that represent such important moments within NBA lore; whether you're talking about Bass' original vision or later iterations like those seen throughout the '70s & '80s eras respectively - all serve as reminders why we continue loving our beloved game so much even today!
