Nets Abandon "BKLYN" Logo

On Monday, the Nets abandoned a trademark application for a team logo that spelled out "bklyn" in the team's current colors of red, blue and grey, apparently getting ready for a new logo, expected out soon. Team insiders have suggested team colors and the logo could come out in February, but a uniform design will wait till summer.
A trademark for the "bklyn" logo was first sought from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office back in April 2010 and was the only visual element on which the team has sought trademark protection since planning their Brooklyn move. There have been a number of hints lately that the new logo will include some variation of "Jay Z Blue", a hue the Nets minority owner has been toying with for years.

talk about a unimaginative design
“Hey, let’s spell out Brooklyn in a shorter way and put in basketball next to it” What ad genius came up with that one?
Wait, that logo actually belonged to this team? Always assumed that was some crappy fan made logo

Perfect
When Nets make the pitch to Dwight over the summer, they can unveil the custom Brooklyn jersey.

Best news of the day
Although as long as the back of the jersey says “Howard”, the front could say “Schmucks” for all I care.

really??? I would still care. The team is more important than one player. Dwight might be here for maybe 5 years, but the nets will be here for hundreds of years.
Nets>Dwight
against dwight trade
Williams
Brooks
Kidd-Gilchrist
Humphries
Lopez
Josh Howard only signed a one year deal right? The Jazz are playing pretty well right now, don’t think they’d be looking to make moves.

I knew one person would say "Josh Howard"

"Your 2010-2011 New Jersey Nets - It Is What It Is"
Felt obligated. Honestly though, we could see a J. Howard and D. Howard duo but I’m absolutely not bothering to speculate on moves like that 7 months early (though if we do get both, why not throw in Juwan Howard and build the time exclusively of Howards and Williamses)

Except that
Calling our team the Schmucks might cause confusion with the Knicks.

Lakers bench is trash but its obvious
Its a point guard and wing player they need not big.

ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
i think it would be really funny if
someone made a compilation of NBA teams’ literal mascots. like the Clippers would have a barber or a pair of scissors as their logo, etc.
is it?
i always thought about scissors.

it is what we have now
hence the current logo at center court. that’s just a rendering. they wouldn’t show the new logo/colors in the video since they haven’t been revealed, so they put the court in current colors.

On the jerseys
We could have a cutout of his head with googly eyes that could bounce around as players ran up and down the court. Way classier than the Dr. J star unis. Stellah, bro. Stellah.

Trade down for depth
Not expecting anything from whoever we select unless it’s Thomas Robinson he’s ready to contribute now.

black and yellow ones were nice though
those were real popular in LA though near impossible to wear in the summer

Yahoo! Sports:
G MarShon Brooks has not stopped being impressive. The rookie from Providence had his best all-around performance, scoring a career-high 22 points, grabbing eight rebounds and dishing off six assists. Brooks shot well from the floor, connecting on 8-of-15 shots. He may very well be the most impressive rookie in the NBA thus far.

Hate to sound like a broken record...
but we cant trade this kid. he is a big part of our future…

anyone see how siiick the
heat’s new uni’s are?
they got rid of the orange – all black
imagine something extremely witty here
why do the Lakers always get trounced by the Heat?
I don’t remember the last time we actually had a good LeBron-Kobe matchup
Let's say we don't get dwight and have to trade deron...
Which of these free agent role players would go good around Marshon, Lopez, and our Lottery pick?
Point Guard
Raymond Felton
Kirk Hinrich
Andre Miller
Jameer Nelson
D.J. Augustin
Ramon Sessions
Mo Williams
Shooting Guard
O.J. Mayo
Gerald Henderson
Ray Allen
Landry Fields
Mickael Pietrus
Courtney Lee
C.J. Miles, Utah Jazz
Small Forward
Wilson Chandler
Danilo Gallinari
Gerald Wallace
Sam Young
Matt Barnes
Power Forward
Michael Beasley (i doubt the twolves match an offer)
Brandon Bass
Elton Brand
Antawn Jamison
well I'd draft a PF
or possibly a SF (let’s hope Houston makes the playoffs!), though there are some good ones to be had on the market (Chandler, Gallinari, Wallace)
If we lose Deron obviously our most pressing need would be the point guard, in tthat case I’d sign Felton, no question.
this is all assuming any of those players will want to leave their incumbent teams though, which for most of those I doubt will happen.
by sheepareevil on Jan 19, 2012 10:34 PM EST up reply actions
If we had to draft a pf
trading up for thomas robinson is a good idea
I honestly know jack about any lottery candidates
I’ve paid the least attention to college basketball of any year in a long time. all I know is apparently PFs are the most plentiful

anyone can do that. i want someone who can play D, especially if he were to be paired with Lopez
by sheepareevil on Jan 19, 2012 11:00 PM EST up reply actions
I like augistin at the point. he is doing his thing
i also like going after chandler or galo. denver will not pay both of them. if we could get beasly for a good price, he may be worth looking at. he is a nut case. but he is talented.
Gallo and Love are getting extensions
Felton loves Portland and has said he hates changing teams constantly, he’ll stay. Hinrich is on the market already.
"Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Steve Jobs to win the lotto." - Chris Rock
Patrick Ewing - The NBA's all-time leader in rushing yards
They should go after
CJ Miles, Nic Batum, Gerald Wallace, Brandon Bass, Raymond Felton, Mo Williams in free agency.
Draft Thomas Robinson and a small forward.

forgot a couple players
Carlos Delfino at small forward and Andre Miller to run the team. He’s still got something left and he’s unrestricted.

DJ Augustine and Danilo Gallinari

and other teams know that
so they will get away with it…UNLESS no other team makes an offer and he decides to stay a year on qualifying offer.

quick question
Who do we want to have a better game tomm Bynum it Howard???
by brickznujerz on Jan 19, 2012 10:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I don't think it matters
I guess Bynum. The more the Lakers win the less likely they are to aggressively go at Howard at the deadline

Damn Devin Harris is a bum now
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Used to be decent but hes awful now that he has to rely on his basketball IQ and shooting stroke
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Saw a Knick fan write a proposal
He said Deron is leaving the Nets anyway so we should trade:
Deron
Marshon Brooks
Brook Lopez
for
Toney Douglas
Carmelo Anthony
Wait wait
No WAY I do that unless we get Jared Jeffries also

LOL someone did the exact same thing on the Magic SBNation site
3 team trade where…
Nets give: Deron, Brook and MarShon Brooks
Nets get: Bynum, Sessions, Matt Barnes
by netsfanrasmus on Jan 19, 2012 11:36 PM EST up reply actions
Magic fans should study the following trade hard, since it's the most realistic option:
Brooklyn Nets gets Dwight Howard, who joins Deron Williams, Brook Lopez, MarShon Brooks and a stud from 2012 draft
Orlando Magic gets doughnut.
