Ranking Primary NBA Logos: #6 Pacers

When you have a team name that is nearly impossible to illustrate, might as well go with something simple and iconic and stick with it. In reality, what else would you do with the team name Pacers? Have some Indy race car? Choose some arbitrary animal? No, the Pacer have done the right thing and stuck with this stylized "P" and roll with it. The Pacers have pretty much stayed with this logo since their inception but wisely changed from the original one that had some creepy hand that was molesting the basketball inside the logo. Seriously what was that about? Being pale white in color it looked like a dead arm they pull out of the Hudson River on Law and Order: SVU. They also must have not realized what a basketball looked like and when they had to come up with something, all they had laying around was a tennis ball because that's what they put. Anyways, the Pacers logo is a good one and it's simplistic beauty needed to be recognized.
