yikes. Someone got paid to make those?

Tbh, the original one isn't that great either. I can actually see those 3 "alternative" logos as an attempt to change the original one.

Nailed it. :lol

Who the fuck designs the logo’s and jerseys for this team? I swear a 12 year old on 2K could’ve made better alt jerseys and logos for this team the past 15 years

[Robz4000]

Gross.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Ouch.

[BatManu20]

Just laying the foundation boys…

Why put the state of Texas design in a logo?

There are two other teams in Texas.

[DJR210]

FUCKING garbage.. what the hell are they thinking???

This 100%

Note that the dot in the spur is not far from Austin...

[K...]

:lol

I think there's good business sense in pretending the spurs are an Austin team without leaving SA. If they can capture the market it leads to more business.

[Ditty]

They are okay. More excited about the jersey’s coming out!

[MannyIsGod]

oh man those are bad lol

[widowmaker]

WEAK.

[baseline bum]

So we expect this team to be able to afford a new arena in five years when they couldn't even afford five hours for whatever contractor they hired to make these?

[MultiTroll]

Forced to pick would go with 1.
The Spur in the State.

[MultiTroll]

How about if Pop can get his desired vet in free agency.
Something like this?

:lmao :lmao :lmao looks like a 10 year old made them in paint

[rascal]

So this logo will be at center court?

[KingKev]

Haha first one isn’t the worst and I understand the connectivity of Texas as an international fan, because to me San Antonio from an early age was my first real knowledge of Texas, even though I don't think San Antonio or the Spurs are very representative of the state as a whole.

Those other two are terrible. I wouldn’t even wear gym merch that sported that…

They should test out of Vegas Spurs gear Viva Los Spurs.

[Silverheart80]

Brutal year for Spurs uniforms.

First, the laughing stock Flint Tropics sherbet uniforms.

Now these Etch-A-Sketch attempts. Worst of the three is the Texas one. Totally missed the bullseye if it was meant to land on San Antonio. Embarrassing.

Silver and black is the coolest color scheme in all of sports. Every NBA team tries to gimmick a 'dark' uniform these days and our team doesn't have to. The 1998 Spurs uniform is the gold standard. Maybe add a little bit of Fiesta color accent in that side piping, but it's not needed. That gear is perfection. Everything else = a waste of time.

[gambit1990]

:lmao

[gambit1990]

it looks like they gave texas an assholė :lol

I agree they could have done better but I think ppl really are missing the point regarding the connection to Texas for global fans.

[Russ]

New logos are great if you have no tradition.

However, the only thing this team literally still has is tradition. :spin

[spurraider21]

all are gross

the texas one is the least bad

[Russ]

Nah, they're all fine.

But why are they needed?

(The Clippers actually needed a new logo when Ballmer took over.)

[rascal]

Texas pride is corny as Hell.

[TimDunkem]

What the fuck? Those are awful.

[NASpurs]

Heavy early 2000s vibe from these. Looks like the type of shit you would see on someone's geocities page.

even worse than those dumb fiesta colors. We already have a cool logo and black and white colors, that is enough.

[KobesAchilles]

Good to see my toddler won the contest. I’ll try to have him improve his drawing ability for next year’s jersey

[Dverde]

Add some color in one of those.

[RC_Drunkford]

terrible lol. They should've made one with the mexican flag since they want to play games there :lol

[CGD]

I like black basketball one. Clean, modern.

Others are pretty bad. i get they’re trying to be more global, etc., but the Texas one actually does the opposite (it’s more provincial). The last one just sucks.

[rascal]

The Spurs need to add the Alamo background design signifying the city behind the Spur logo not the entire state.

[tbdog]

Spurs have an international fan base. I support SA, not Texas. I'm not from America and don't know what Texas map looks like. I have no desire to wear a Texas fucking jersey logo.

[spurs1990]

From the arena music to the PA announcers to the alt kits to these haphazard logos. What a track record the business ops side has.

Michael Dell at least bring back the cheerleaders. Throw a bone

[Ice009]

Those are freaking awful.

Fair enough but for us yanks the Texas state silhouette is instantly the most recognizable and frequently brandished among the 48 states.
The artist they hired probably would’ve mangled a Colorado or a Wyoming crest if this Spurs ‘attempt’ is any indication

Them shoehorning Texas into all three logos really makes you think they're laying some foundation for a possible Austin move. If San Antonio isn't going to build them a new arena might as well look at Austin where they'd sell more luxury boxes.

i do understand that, but TEXANS love their weird shape since it's unique in the country. i mean you get tortilla chips in the shape from the grocery or belt buckles. i think they put the emblem on special editions of trucks too. you see it as much as the flag really. San Antonio is also the 4rth biggest city in the state so they need to act regionally to catch up to larger markets like Houston and Dallas.

San Antonio is awesome. Texas? Not so much.

[Uriel]

Minimalism and the use of neutral colors has been the Spurs' design philosophy in recent decades. I like it personally. I feel like it gives the brand more class.

[GAustex]

When I opened this post and looked and notes my initial reaction- I wondered how the rest of this crew would think cause I do not always agree with uni choices.
I am relieved that I am not the only one who thinks this is an abomination

[Dex]

As someone with an AAS in Graphic Design....I agree these are just awful.

They could have paid me like 50 bucks and I would have worked up something better.

Wish they would have kept this one from the early 2000s. Thought it was an awesome secondary.

Seems a bit outdated but I actually like the aesthetic on the spur. Some good use of negative space. Not sure how well it would scale.

The background shape seems like a bit of an afterthought and clashes with the top of the spur. Makes the whole thing seem unsymmetrical.

I can't believe we haven't somehow found a good way to work the Alamo into a logo.

Yes, The Alamo silhouette shape in the background with the Spur design in front symbolizes San Antonio. Something along those lines is better than the whole state of Texas.

[heyheymymy]

Holy shit early 2000s one just posted looks like a windows 95 icon

[JR3]

You would think I would like at least one of the three. They are all fails.

[heyheymymy]

The standalone SATX is the only one I don't like but all of them seem so unnecessary

[tbdog]

[BatManu20]

Surprised the Spurs don’t ever incorporate the Alamo design into their secondary logos. One would think that would almost be necessary considering how iconic it is and how interconnected it is with the city.

Cant use anything related to the Alamo anymore, theres too many woke pussies out there that feel like something got taken away from them.

Is that really a debate being had down in San Antonio? Even if no Tejanos may not have perished at the battle, Seguin had dozens of guys posted there. Not to mention hundreds of Tejanos that supported and participated the revolution.
Also Santanna was a European Spaniard by blood, unless Spain is seen in its own demographic category nowadays.

[SAGirl]

They are all very ugly, just uninspired. I only sort of like the one with the basketball in it’s simplicity, but I think children would be more creative…
