For anyone who has asked "What the hell is the Blazers logo?", here is what I pulled from
Wikipedia:
The team's "pinwheel" logo, originally designed by the cousin of former Blazer executive Harry Glickman, is a graphic interpretation of two five-on-five basketball teams lined up against each other. So there you go. It's strange but identifiable and a classic. I'm not saying it's even a great logo but some respect has to be paid when it's survived the test of time. It's one of those logos that will live with be this team and it should. Can you picture the Blazers with anything else? My only complaint is that they just put "Blazers" inside the box. The team name is the Trail Blazers (BTW one of the few that have a team name that is 2 separate words and one of two that one of the 2 words isn't color related; the other being the Maple Leafs). I am not a fan of nicknames of nicknames being used. But that being said, I love the originality and the lasting appeal.
