The Warriors are ready for a rebranding!

The Warriors team page is completely stripped of all logos and is very generic. I also noticed a small jersey leak on the right hand side of the page. Looks like they are going back to the old colors (which I suggested in their ranking). I have linked a couple times to this image, showing several upcoming changes. As you can see they are bringing back the Golden Gate Bridge back into their logo and going completely conservative. I like it but I want to see how it translates on courst. I would like to get a Stephon Curry jersey and I'm glad I waited.

As for the others pictured on the image, the Jazz , Cavs, Magic, and Suns are or were just in playoff battles so it may be a while before we see some major turnover. However the Bobcats have moved into rebranding with the full faced logo (which I suggested in their ranking). Major improvement in Charlotte. Their web site is using that logo to the right all over their team page. Looks like that is happening.

Let's see how these play out.

Ranking NBA Primary Logos: #26 Bobcats

I hate rating this logo so low but it was something that shouldn't have happened. Charlotte had their team with a popular logo that made ZoMugsy and Grand Mama household names in the 90's. But in 2004, Charlotte was awarded an expansion team and the team (some say the owner) chose this logo. My main problem with this logo is the bobcat is non descript and bland. Bobcats have a very distinct fur pattern and especially unusual face patterns. The logo shows none of that. To me this is just a cat. Could be any cat. Bobcats have big ears as well. To me if you're going to pick a bobcat for a logo, then make it a bobcat, not a housecat.
WAYS 2 IMPROVE

There are rumors this whole identity may change since Michael Jeffery Jordan has taken ownership of this team, but for now they still are going to be known as the Bobcats. It seems a lot of teams come up with alternate logos that seem to outshine the main logo. The Bobcats are on this track. I like this logo. I think the 3rd logo combined with arching letters around the edges could be a winner. That looks like a bobcat. It shows the fullness of the cat's face, has more character, and blends nicely into the standard basketball in most NBA logos. A complete overhaul may be in the works though so hang tight.
