The NBA logo: a history - Creative Bloq
The NBA logo is one of the most enduring in professional sports. Here's how it came to be.
www.creativebloq.comDirect answer: There’s no confirmed, widely accepted change to the NBA logo as of now; the logo remains the Jerry West silhouette in official branding, with past discussions about a change having been treated as unlikely by the league.
Details and context:
- The NBA has publicly stated there were no ongoing discussions about changing the logo, reinforcing that the Jerry West silhouette remains the iconic mark. This stance has been reiterated by league officials and reporting outlets since 2021.[2][5]
- While fan commentary and viral videos have speculated about replacements (including Kobe Bryant or LeBron James), these have not resulted in an official roster change, and reputable sources indicate no current plans to alter the logo.[3][5][6]
- There have been related branding refreshes and special-era logos for anniversaries or campaigns, but none have replaced the primary NBA logo itself in standard usage.[1][8][9]
