The Spurs have actually been using this logo since the 2002-2003 season, but it feels like it's been their logo forever. Which is weird because they have actually had two other variations in their long history, dating back to the ABA. I think it seems like this since for the most part the team hasn't changed looks or colors on the their uniforms. In 90's, the Spurs for some reason used this monstrosity as a logo. Thank god they didn't incorporate the colors on their logo into their uniforms. Can you imagine what the uniforms would have looked like? Oh wait you can, the 1996 All-Star game. (and we wonder why the Vancouver Grizzlies didn't succeed.) The Spurs are one of the few teams that don't put the city name on the away set, which is a good thing. San Antonio is too wordy for uniforms. Same reason San Francisco and Philadelphia hardly ever appear on jerseys (hey Oklahoma City, this is you and your away set). If I have any complaint about this logo, it's a little plain. But that's the kind of team the Spurs are: plain but really good. It's perfect for this team.
