personally I think most teams have terrible logos. the blazers logo is easily recognizable, which is what counts. i do think they need to do away with the all caps italicized font and go back to the lower case rounded font.

“It could be argued there’s nothing trailblazing about this logo.”

Oh, zing! (It could also be argued that that Askmen writer has turkey gravy in his cranium.)

personally, my least favorite logos are big clunky eyesores….. Toronto.

This has got to be the laziest, least-researched idea for a column out there.

I think the blazers have about the best logo and color scheme in the NBA—full disclosure, I live in Portland and I’m a total homer now, but I also used to think this when I grew up on the east coast. The pinwheel is the only real icon symbol in the league—almost every other team uses their name (lakers), or letter (houston’s H on fire thing) or a complicated image (mavs) as a logo.

I do dislike the ‘pinwheel inside the rhombus’ that this post links to, but the pinwheel itself is awesome. I do also prefer the older straight up and down pinwheel to the current slanted ‘modern’ one. My two cents.

askmen.com?

Fans aren’t impressed either, and perhaps that’s why Blazers merchandise is in the bottom half of league sales.

That couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Portland is in the bottom half of market sizes, could it?

First of all I love it. No doubt about it. Its cool, its original and it stands out from the pack because of its originality.

Now, does a pinwheel have anything possibly even remotely to do with being a “TrailBlazer”? My answer is No! Absoluely not. I think of Lewis and Clark when I think of quote “TrailBlazers”. I think Glickman or his cousin were to, but how do you make a cool bball logo of Lewis and Clark worthy? You dont because it aint gonna happen.

Last, what I think is that we should come up with some cool new logo that represents what it means to be a Trailblazer. Dont throw the old logo away but come up with some new flavor to add to the mix as well. Someone should be able to come up with something cool. Something that we all like.

Agree? Disagree?

Weird that they used the rhombus version of the Trail Blazers logo considering it hasn’t been used in years. It’s only been made for the simple fact that the NBA requires one logo to be used with the teams full name in it.

but for the pinwheel itself, i think it’s a great logo.

The grizzlies log does look like a teddy

I’m also a Capitals and Titans fan
