NBA Logo History

NBA Logos

National Basketball Association

The NBA logo is an iconic symbol that represents the essence of professional basketball. Let's take a journey through the captivating history of the NBA logo and explore its evolution over the years.

The original NBA logo, introduced in 1969, featured a red, white, and blue basketball with the silhouette of a player in action. This player was widely believed to be Jerry West, a legendary player for the Los Angeles Lakers. The logo was simple yet powerful, capturing the energy and excitement of the game.

Over time, the NBA logo underwent subtle changes to refine its design. In 1971, the colors were adjusted to a more vibrant palette, with red, white, and blue becoming more pronounced. The player's silhouette was also slightly modified to enhance its dynamic appearance.

In 2017, a notable update was made to the NBA logo. The league introduced a new version called the "NBA Logoman." This updated logo featured a modernized basketball, with sleek lines and a more stylized player silhouette. The colors were also adjusted to a deeper shade of blue, adding a contemporary touch to the overall design.

Despite these changes, the core elements of the NBA logo have remained consistent. The basketball remains at the center, symbolizing the heart of the game, while the player silhouette represents the athleticism and skill that define the NBA.

While the NBA logo has remained relatively unchanged in recent years, there have been discussions among fans and critics about the possibility of introducing a new logo. Some argue that the logo should be updated to better reflect the diversity and global nature of the league. However, others believe that the current logo has become an iconic symbol and should be preserved.

As the NBA continues to evolve and grow, it will be interesting to see if any significant changes are made to its logo. Regardless of any future modifications, the NBA logo will always be a powerful symbol that represents the excitement, passion, and excellence of professional basketball.
