Sixteen teams have begun the NBA Playoffs. Which has the best logo/name/brand?
- San Antonio Spurs
- unique name
- suggestive name – for Texas
- logo – very nice, especially the way the spur forms the letter “U”
- Dallas Mavericks
- I prefer the old logo and colors much better, the new one is a stereotypical modern design.
- The name is unique, and a nice meaning.
- Houston Rockets
- Great name. Unique. Relates to Houston’s space center for NASA.
- Ugly logo.
- Portland Trailblazers
- Great name. Unique. Relates to explores in the Pacific Northwest.
- Great logo. Also unique.
- Los Angeles Clippers
- Odd name – relates to sailing from when the team was in San Diego.
- Simple logo.
- Golden State Warriors
- Nice logo. Nice colors.
- The “Warriors” name has to do with a historical team in Philadelphia, nothing to do with California.
- Oklahoma City Thunder
- I don’t particularly like the logo — it is a stereotypical logo design from the last decade.
- The name is unique and interesting, and suggestive of tornado alley and Oklahoma.
- Memphis Grizzlies
- The name came with the team from Vancouver. Even in Vancouver it wasn’t a very good name (though unique). It has nothing to do with Memphis!
- The logo is fairly boring. For a grizzly bear, it doesn’t look terribly intimidating.
Best of the Western playoff teams: Spurs and Trailblazers.
