 What's the word y'all the Clippers are rebranding y'all now the name is still the same but new jerseys new logos And it's happening at the perfect time as we all know the into a dome the new arena for the Clippers is opening up at the Beginner the next season and I felt like they needed something They couldn't give these old vibes off in a brand new arena and they're doing that Steve Vaughn or them They decided to announce it and I think the announcement time is pretty interesting But let's take a look now. This is an entire article by Zach Lowe. Oh man people are laughing at it Oh, most people love it. Okay, 5,000 people love it and it's 29 people that's laughing And I got an assumption that the 29 people to laugh and I like this fans Maybe not. All right, let's take a look now. This is what the Clippers logo used to look like I always hated this logo. It was bad, but as long as your fan base enjoyed it, that's all the matter This logo was not for me. I'm not rooting for this team on a nightly basis Um, even they they talk about it here mostly panned as generic and bland and I could completely agree now The new logo did the dude is here They can clearly buy in to the name of a Clipper This is supposed to be a naval ship in the middle kind of gives off cruise ship a little bit, but I'm here for it Um, I can't say that I love it. I'll be honest with you But it's way better than this one and that's all it really matters. This is so bad. This is a lot better I actually like the global logo where you have the Los Angeles Clippers written out I think this is beautiful. They're buying into the naval more than the baby blue which I enjoy this one I don't love this one. I'm here for I'm here for again as long as it's better than this That's all you can really ask for my making plane is the making plane I have about majority of sports logos So I'm not gonna be today a horse but they come off as too minimalistic and they're very safe and again I understand it right you'll rather have every one of your fans be very be very neutral about a logo versus 50% Of fans hate it and 50% of fans love it, you know So I understand being very neutral But the circular minimalistic logo has been overdone and I just would love for a team to say hey We don't really care about keeping it a traditional at this point Let's go back to what logos used to look like, you know what I'm saying? Maybe that's just the old head of me Let's get to the actual court the court. I enjoy this. I enjoy this court I've read an article about the lighting that they're putting together and into a dome And I think that these colors will pop a little bit. So I'm here for that The jerseys are cool. I don't hate the jerseys again. It's still minimalistic But I actually think that's okay. The white jersey. I like a lot I think that the script that they give these jerseys is perfect. I cannot complain about that whatsoever Now this one I don't love. I don't know exactly what it is about this jersey Maybe kawaii linda is not a good model. James hard to look enthusiastic kawaii linda doesn't but I don't love these jerseys But the red we don't get to this red This is the one if I was ever gonna get a clipper's jersey in my life It would be this one. I don't think I will unless one of my favorite players end up on that team I I don't think I will but if I was gonna do it, it would be this one So I think overall they did a really good job all things considered I would give this entire rebrand like a b2b plus honestly I'm missing the timing I think the timing of this in the might have already been set in stone Hey, it's a monday the beginning of a new new cycle, but last night they played a game against the sacramental kings in a loss There's no there's no I was gonna say surprise. I don't know the one I'm looking for But the sacramental kings obviously a very good basketball team the clippers were without paul george So it makes sense that they lost this game. It's not about losing the game or even how they lost the game It's about what happened after they lost 12 seconds left in this game. Let's let's play the footage You're gonna see how damning this really is music to our ears from la to sacramental That is something That you don't want to do or you don't want to hear on your home court Especially because sacramental is such a small market in comparison to los angeles So for a team to come into your arena beat you and have the fans chant like the beam That's not great Now obviously getting they getting a new arena now and the new jerseys and stuff So maybe that'll change and a flip on his head But the market size between sacramental and los angeles is pretty there's a huge gap there So you don't want this type of stuff to happen now when you see like a lakers versus clippers It makes sense that the lakers fans are gonna outnumber them because no matter what you think it is a reality That los angeles is a laker town and it has been and it probably always will be You know So it makes sense that it's going to be more lakers fans than clippers fans in a game When they're heading against each other but sacramental versus clips Oh, I don't like that and maybe the king's fans are the vocal minority that it's not that many of them in there But boy, they voice is loud. I don't really know but it's still not an amazing look and you're like Hey, here's some new jerseys and remember we got a new arena opening up So don't even worry about this for last night. Don't worry about it Now now one thing that has been true Um and will probably be true for a long time is again that this is a lakers city It's a lakers town if you if you listen to a jail in brunson and josh harts podcast They had mckell bridges own it obviously We're talking about different cities between brooklyn and new york city But the state of new york is a nicks city and they talked about how when you're at the barclay center It feels like a home game for the away team more likely than not and that is kind of the vibes You get from the clippers sometimes specifically when the lakers aren't and this is a thing that is I guess under talked about as far as the koai linard paul george era in this article They talked about according to their internal studies. This is from the clippers directly The clippers have doubled their overall fan base in the past seven years team officials said they want to double it again Going forward and that's that's huge right that is huge Over the last seven years, of course, they brought in koai. They brought in paul george and you undoubtedly you can see just by Going on to twitter that there are a lot more clippers fans now that there were again seven to ten years ago But I remember when koai linard first sighed to the los angeles clipper. This was a marketing campaign From new balance This is his city and one thing that has been under talked about in this era Is that they haven't been able to market the players that are koai linard and paul george to see more of a growth Again set like doubling your fan base in seven years is huge But I feel like it should be more considering how good koai linard is and how marketable paul george has been throughout his entire Again, he's good at basketball too, but pg had his own signature sneaker koai linard has his own signature sneaker like it should be way more Fans there part of that is during the koai linard era those guys had played 36 percent of their games together until this year So it's hard to grow a fan base when you're tuning into a clippers game And it's koai or paul george instead of koai and paul george again We're seeing that change now even koai linard after this game. He was asked about why he's playing more He was like hell. I didn't tear my meniscus. I didn't tear my acl So i'm actually healthy right that plays a huge huge part of it But over the last five years of it being koai linard and paul george We haven't seen them bridge that gap to their fan base as much as you would expect it And it was one of the reasons why they they knew that they had to get out of staples slash crypto dot com arena And if it was to ever flip on his head That somehow los angeles becomes a clippers down It probably won't happen in our lifetime Um, but they would have to have an immense amount of success Like the one thing that the lakers have been able to do to help build that of course the championships matter Right having double digit championships almost 20 championships if i round up a little bit Matters a ton to keeping a core core fan base because more likely than not The lakers are going to be competitive enough to to compete for a championship The clippers haven't had that throughout their career just yet But another thing that the la lakers have done so greatly over the last I don't know 70 years is take care of their star players when they have them They always always always try to prioritize keeping their star players happy and healthy And that is something that the clippers need to figure out During the this phase of the koala napal george era and whatever phase happens next and it is it is so important It is so important when we talk about this and growing the fan base over the next 20 to 30 years because it It's gonna take a long time right it is so very important that this clippers team wins one I can't express to you how important that really is Because most star players if they're hitting free agency and we talk about how the lakers have been able to build over the course of their 100 years A lot of it is like well, we're going to draft well And we're going to use those players to potentially get an anthony davis Or we're just going to be like hey where the lakers come sign us x player and the x player ends up being Lebron james one of the reasons why lebron james will opt to la is that he knows that ownership And the front office Is not going to leave any stone unturned when it comes to putting him slash them in the right position to win a championship And the clippers need some jewelry for the next generation of stars that might hit free agency to think about the clippers Ness fans Close your ears here. Close your ears here because you're not going to want to hear this I believe because the kevin durant Kyrie ervin and eventually james harder thing did not work out that when the next star player is available And he's thinking about new york He's not thinking about the brooklyn nets because he saw the last time they brought in superstar players on free agency It didn't work out. Well, this team had kevin durant and kawaii learner I went to three games in the barkley center in a span of a month And they never felt like a home game. They're the little brother The clippers have the the opportunity to win a championship and kind of switch things again It's never going to be a clippers down at least in our lifetime But switch is so that the clippers are a viable viable option again for free agency when kawaii lennard and paul george ended up there This is an experimentation, baby This is experimentation just like when you saw kary ervin look at kevin durant's eyes They say two max spots when they were in chicago for all star weekend It was an experimentation because brooklyn had not been a team that was been competent enough to compete for Championship we can be those guys to do that And that close and I think it is close for some time for brooklyn when it comes to signing star players the clippers It's wide open right now They're one of the best teams in basketball and they need some jewelry for the next generation to say Oh, yeah, the clippers can't get it done. We saw them get it done kawaii lennard We saw them morgan stair future to bring it james and it worked out perfectly And i'm the next star player and I kind of want to have that experience Yes, I got all the way there based on a rebranding, but it is the reality in my eyes So let me know what you think about the clippers rebranding. Um, again, I would probably give like a b to b plus I enjoy it. It's not perfect, but it is what it is clippers fans You let me know because it's this logo is really for you. It's not for me. So you let me know what you think
