In a bit of Local Sports/Fashion news, the Golden State Warriors have announced their new Logo & Uniforms for the upcoming season.
A far departure from the thunderbolt wielding faceless greek basketball god (?) – the new uniforms/logo pay homage to our very own golden gate bridge, while drawing inspiration from the throwback “the city” jerseys of old.
According to Warriors president Robert Rowell, that’s exactly where they got the idea. Rowell, from the Warriors website:
“The throwback uniforms we’ve worn as part of the NBA’s Hardwood Classics initiative in recent years have been extremely popular with our fans, and we set out to design a new look that was clean and traditional in that same spirit. We are grateful to the NBA and adidas for providing us with a magnitude of creative freedom, along with invaluable expertise, during this process.”
All I have to say is, it’s about time.
The new logo and merchandise will be available at 10pm, June 24th at www.WARRIORS.com
Ugh. It's alright. I would have liked to have the famouse double-decker Bay Bridge as the logo, not this–the eastern span of what is GOING to be the new Bay Bridge. They should have just brought back “The City” logo.
Oh well. I'm definitely getting one, come basketball season. I hope the new owners come up with something better in the near future.
