Well, if any of you didn’t know I am a huge Philadelphia sports fan. The 76ers included. This afternoon it was announced that the Philadelphia Pro basketball team, the 76ers have a new logo. When They showed me the logo, I thought to myself, “This isn’t new.” I was right Have a look.
The logo is actually going back in 76ers history. This is the logo which was last used just when Allen Iverson was breaking into the league in 1996-1997. It incorporates the red white and blue like usual, and is probably one of the more recognizable Philadelphia sports logos.
“By bringing back this old Sixers’ logo, we are connecting the past with the future,” said Ed Snider, chairman of Comcast-Spectacor, which owns the Sixers. “This logo evokes memories of some of the franchise’s proudest moments.”
My Personal opinion on the 76ers Logo
Being a fan, I have to say I am happy to see the return of this logo which was used during both the sSxers championship seasons of 1966-67 and 1982-83. Maybe it will bring them luck. The style of the logo I think is more in tune with the old NBA, but I’m a guy who loves the old NBA of Afros, 3 pointers, and just pure fun in the sport of basketball.
