Going for the timeless-classic look, black & white, and people will eat that shit right up

I think they could've executed this way better, black & white for color scheme is pretty cliche' but not nearly as gaudy as what the Thunder look like or even what the Nets look like now.

Since the New Jersey Nets ceased to exist at midnight, I'm finally free!

Here it is.

The logo. The black. The white.

The Brooklyn Nets have arrived. As a born-and-raised Brooklyn resident, whose parents still live here and work minutes away from the Barclays Center, it's a day I've been waiting for since the proposal was first floated in 2003. And it's a day that brings a new look to professional sports, a timeless one grounded in city history: the signage of New York's unparalleled subway system.

The new primary logo – created by Brooklyn's own JAY Z – retains the shield from its previous iteration, and adds that iconic Brooklyn 'B' to the basketball that has been part of every logo since the franchise's 1967 inception as the Americans. The Dodgers had their lettermark, and the Nets have added another model for the borough to bear. "Brooklyn," of course, is spelled out below. Nets CEO Brett Yormark called this "the new badge for Brooklyn," and JAY Z believes the design's boldness demonstrates confidence in the new direction.

The secondary logo, of the 'B' inside a basketball, surrounded by the words "Brooklyn New York" immediately popped an image into my head: "Planet Brooklyn." It's hard to explain the pride native Brooklynites feel for their home ("BK," "Bucktown," the "Brooklyn Zoo"), how outsiders don't get it and never really will; one measure might be trying to think if you've ever met someone from Brooklyn who said they were from "New York." Another could be the lines I once wrote in a spoken word poem:

I like to sport attitudes like
I'm better than you
because I'm from Brooklyn
… and that's just how we do.

I'm starting to like the logo a lot...it just seems so out of place given how far sports logos have come. Only 2 colors, no shadows, bevels, or funky fonts...

I like the concept, but I really don't like the font used for the primary B. Like others have said, it looks like something out of NBA 2k.
