Philadelphia 76ers - New Logo?

[TA9]

If you didn't know: The 76ers are going to present their new logo today (Tuesday the 12th).

I just found what is supposed to be a leaked picture of the new logo, and all I can say is:
It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it looks an awful lot like the secondary Brooklyn Nets logo:


EDIT: For comparison;

Doesn't make sense. They are an American themed team just like the Patriots. Weird

[Donoghus]

They're not actually getting rid of the red, white, & blue, are they?

[Bosstown]

Calm down. This is just the logo minus the color way. I'm a graphic designer, you always build graphics in b&w to be able to balance the negative space there is no way phillie moves away from the red, white and blue.

We thought the same about Hip-Hop.




Ok, so, no one thought the same about Hip Hop. But still!

I was expecting a logo with a tank image.

FWIW, i work as a graphic designer. i was always taught to design logos in all black first -- to nail down the concepts then go and apply color.

just because there is a 1-color version doesn't mean they are abandoning their red-white-and-blue.

The OP is correct that it's similar to the Brooklyn secondary logo.

But for the sixers it's a call-back to earlier logos. the sixers introduced that outline in the late 70s <http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/218/Philadelphia_76ers/>), whereas the Nets are newer to the game with a ball introduced in the 90s <http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/215/New_Jersey_Nets/>

So the new sixers logo in line historically with other 76er logos whereas Brooklyn's logo(s) are all relatively new (and awful if you ask me, which you didn't  )

haha i started typing my response above, then had to leave to, ironically, present some design sketches to my manager     So bosstown beat me to it...

Just when they actually had a good look going



I've disliked the sixers' look and also the wizards for a while, and they FINALLY both look solid



 





Gotta be happy to be a celtic fan. The only changes they make are subtle and classy
