Well, this guy pretty much nailed it

The Denver Egotist’s take on the new logo. And I must say, it’s pretty spot on. Hard to justify or feel good about it after reading that. (Just click the image to see it bigger.)

Seriously, four colors? And I’ve mentioned the “Thunder Oklahoma City” thing. And like I said before, why not replace the shield with the outline of Oklahoma? Frustrating.

Henry Abbott of TrueHoop had this to say about it though:

“None of this much matters to the quality of the product on the court, and I suspect this level of scrutiny is mainly a product of the negativity surrounding the ownership. Plenty of organizations survive poor logo design.”

Very true Henry. If the Toronto Raptors can make the playoffs, so can we.
