NBA Logos Through the Years

UPDATED VERSION FOR 2021: See below for timestamps. NBA logos are some of the most creative in all of professional sports, outside of minor league baseball at least. From the Toronto Raptors early days of a giant purple/red dinosaur that was far more ferocious than Barney, to the Denver Nuggets rainbow-infused skyline that sparked some of the best jerseys ever. There’s traditionalists who never change a thing, the Chicago Bulls are the only team to never change their logo, and the undecided nature of teams like the Washington Wizards who can never quite nail down a color scheme. Retro NBA logos are also some the most used out of the four major sports leagues when it comes to jerseys, shirts and hats. You can find fiesta-themed San Antonio Spurs gear just as often as the more mellowed out silver and black that they wear today. NBA fans take pride in many of their team’s old logos, and as each team rolls out another new look, the evolution of team logos throughout the years is an interesting process to witness.
