Knicks Primary Logo

The New York Knicks have a long and storied history in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team has been around since 1946 when they were founded as part of the Basketball Association of America. Over their more than 70 years in existence, the Knicks have had several different primary logos to represent them.

The first logo used by the franchise was an orange basketball with "Knicks" written on it surrounded by a blue circle with white stars. This design was used from 1946-1962 until it was replaced with another orange basketball that featured two interlocking N's inside of it for "New York". This logo lasted from 1962-1967 before being changed again to what is known as one of their most iconic designs: an orange ball outlined in black sitting atop a white triangle shape which represented both Manhattan Island and Madison Square Garden where they play their home games at. This version lasted through 1992 when another redesign happened to feature three lines forming triangles along its sides representing Manhattan's skyline while also keeping its original color scheme intact; this iteration remained until 2012 when yet another update came out that included adding silver accents to make up for modern trends while still maintaining some elements from previous designs like its triangular base shape or use of colors such as blue & orange respectively throughout all versions so far mentioned here today.

Overall, over time we can see how much care has gone into creating each new logo design for the New York Knicks organization; whether it be drawing inspiration directly from past iterations or using current trends/styles popularized during certain periods - every change made has been done so carefully and thoughtfully which helps keep this beloved NBA team’s identity alive even after all these years!
