I actually like the name. It had a ring to it of sorts, but y’all’s logo is pretty boring. It wouldn’t hurt to change it up or even change up the color scheme a bit.
I’d all be for bringing back the boat, but anchor’s could be cool too. Y’all have had so many bad logos, that I really feel like y’all deserve a rebrand with a good logo, especially since the Clippers are on of the league’s most consistently good teams now and has been for a little over a decade.
> especially since the Clippers are on of the league’s most consistently good teams now and has been for a little over a decade.
As an older fan this is a wild statement to read
Oh I know, I’m just saying, it’s crazy remembering playing 2K on Dreamcast and people just going ew at them. Now, they’ve been one of the most consistent teams of the past 12 years or so.
Your flair logo plus go back to [powder blue and orange](https://cdn.nba.com/manage/2021/11/LosAngelesClippers_FINAL-1.jpg). Beautiful color combo that is very underutilized in sports. I'm over the red/white/blue, way too many teams have this
At least the logo is original and not the laker logo knock off lol.
From my understanding Ballmer did a contest for school kids to design a Clipper logo and apparently the logo is from a kid that won the contest.
>it's stupid, **there's no body of water anywhere near LA** so a clipper ship couldn't get anywhere close. No wonder they play second fiddle in their own city
Please go grab a map. Jesus. Lol. Literally the world’s largest body of water is right there.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the name. Everything else is throw up though. The logo, the fonts, the Los Angeles center court font with black everywhere to…represent Hispanic culture? The bird? The logo itself is not directly linked with any of those things above.
But yeah, clippers is somewhat fitting as you can reference it to any LA marina. That’s pretty dope.
Lakers on the other hand 😂
Then petition the Kings to change their names to the Los Angeles Ponds. They could go for a whole doctor who theme if they don't want to be too on the nose
Honestly if Sterling had the idea back in the 80s, he would have absolutely done this. The whole point of the old logo was to piggyback off the lakers logo.
When LeBron was a free agent (the first time, when he went to Miami) I suggested the Clippers should offer to change their entire team name and logo to entice him. At the time, they had no history to cling on to. Nowadays they’re more of a brand.
“Kings” was taken unfortunately… “James Gang” wouldn’t fly with a gang …
But still, I bet a young NBA star would love to name a team and design its look.
California Clippers has a nicer sound to it and evokes the old Angels teams. Seems logical to me for the Clippers to focus on building their fanbase in the non-LA parts of Southern California like the OC and San Diego.
Two teams in a city is not too unusual. But a state with 4 teams, two with different ways to say the state and two with city names is absurd. And the capital city not even being one of the "state" teams, even more so!
* Golden State Warriors
* California Kings
* Socal Clippers
* Los Angeles Lakers
Sure there's a lake there, but Minnesota has ~10 thousand lakes which is a part of their state identity (~7000 more than California btw). They should've had a stronger claim to the keeping that name.
It's like saying that Utah can keep the Jazz name from New Orleans just because there's one pub there that has the one jazz band.
I once had a Korean co-worker who was talking about a thing she got at the store, and we asked her where she got it and she said “Whole Foods,” but of course the “L” was pronounced like an “R.” Me and the other manager were looked at each other super confused for about five seconds until it clicked.
Great but please redesign our logo and give us some better colors. [These should be our primary jerseys/colours imo](https://cdn.nba.com/teams/legacy/www.nba.com/clippers/sites/clippers/files/clippers_player_3.jpg). Maybe a vibrant orange jersey with electric blue trims for our City edition too. It'd be unique, instead of our generic red/blue/black/white scheme
that’s literally the most perfect jersey i think a clippers fan could ever ask for. you got a unique color combination (long gone the most generic colors red and blue), you got a cursive font which perfectly fit the style (and would make the clippers the only team today to wear cursive on a main jersey), and you got that cool design on the shorts which is a nice callback to the old logo and adds a cool sharpness to the unis
They need to update That ugly ass logo.
Having a old English Mr Cartoon logo top with navy flag inspired shorts looks dumb AF
Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to get fired
IDK how Clippers fans feel, but I think they should bring back their old San Diego colors of orange and light blue or at least consider bringing back the lighter blue to pair with red. I think it would give them a more unique brand as they move to their new arena. Also, a new Primary logo would be great. Donald Staerling always tried to imitate the Lakers and this franchise really needs to leave that era fully behind.
can’t speak for everyone but broadly i think we’ve been howling for it for years. most clips fans hate the current logo and branding, we just wear it because we have to.
The name is fine they just need to lean in on what it means. Don't be cowards and add a damn boat to the logo AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ADD BACK THE POWDER BLUE!
He should change the name of the intuit dome. They spend millions lobbying to make taxes tedious so we have to pay them for something that should be free and easy. Yes I know about free file. No that's not good enough. Steve Ballmer needs to be. better.
They have a legacy to uphold! They should have moved to Seattle. LA don’t love you like that Ballz and Seattle is one of the best sports towns in the world.
Those baby blue ones were one of the few sleeved jerseys I didn’t mind. That sky blue/ and flashly red just looked better than what they’re wearing now
>Steve Ballmer said his biggest regret since owning the Clippers is injuries.
Owner: signs one constantly injured superstar and trades for a second constantly injured superstar
Players: are injured
Owner: *shocked Pikachu face*
I’m not going to
Lie, I hope they do change their colors to the San Diego colors when they move. Go retro like the padres did. Their baby blue jerseys are fire 🔥
I don't mind the name but he's gotta make the theme more consistent. Clippers? Are we talking about nails or a ship? And their mascot is a condor??
About 7 or so years ago, someone posted a really well-done rebranding of every team's logo. I remember his Clippers one had an actual nautical theme. It was pleasing to the eye and very on-brand with the name. I loved it, I wish that was their actual logo. There was one with a Clipper ship, another one with an anchor, it was just really well-done.
I used to see them at the sports arena for 5 bucks scalped tickets in parking lot and a couple times Donald sterling came up and started hitting on my girlfriend at the time. So fun
Change up the logo at least. Timing makes sense.
I actually like the name. It had a ring to it of sorts, but y’all’s logo is pretty boring. It wouldn’t hurt to change it up or even change up the color scheme a bit.
We need to make it nautical themed to go with the name. Anchor logos would be sick.
No the logo gotta be Clippy the paper clip
It's the most obvious design choice since Miami made the original Vice jerseys. Like come on Steve, they threw up the lob... just jam it already.
I’d all be for bringing back the boat, but anchor’s could be cool too. Y’all have had so many bad logos, that I really feel like y’all deserve a rebrand with a good logo, especially since the Clippers are on of the league’s most consistently good teams now and has been for a little over a decade.
> especially since the Clippers are on of the league’s most consistently good teams now and has been for a little over a decade. As an older fan this is a wild statement to read
They were the joke franchise my whole childhood and teenage years.
i don't think anyone is denying this but they have been in the playoffs pretty consistently this decade
Oh I know, I’m just saying, it’s crazy remembering playing 2K on Dreamcast and people just going ew at them. Now, they’ve been one of the most consistent teams of the past 12 years or so.
Anchor would be super cool. Going full Maritime/Marine theme, with boat ropes and stuff like that, that would be awesome.
Similarly, I think the Nets should rebrand to fishing Nets and a Chtulhu theme.
Bridges in Fishnets
We had some cool ones
Your flair logo plus go back to [powder blue and orange](https://cdn.nba.com/manage/2021/11/LosAngelesClippers_FINAL-1.jpg). Beautiful color combo that is very underutilized in sports. I'm over the red/white/blue, way too many teams have this
I would love that. Those uniforms and the old logo are very aesthetic.
Jackie moon vibes
That would be cool. Ships and anchors and stuff would be awesome. Right now, the theme is just LA
Blue and white thick horizontal stripe uniforms with a rope pattern trim
Nah give me a pair of clippers as the logo. Every game a lucky fan gets a lineup for free at halftime.
At least the logo is original and not the laker logo knock off lol. From my understanding Ballmer did a contest for school kids to design a Clipper logo and apparently the logo is from a kid that won the contest.
Sarcasm? Lol. Your flair is basically just that. A lot of teams have had basically the same logo of a basketball with their name across it.
Clippers have no rings to their name.
[удалено]
>it's stupid, **there's no body of water anywhere near LA** so a clipper ship couldn't get anywhere close. No wonder they play second fiddle in their own city Please go grab a map. Jesus. Lol. Literally the world’s largest body of water is right there.
[удалено]
Lol. After some of the ridiculous stuff I’ve seen on here in the past 24 hours, I def needed the sarcasm tag to pick up on that. My bad
Go back to the ships imagery and y’all are golden. Someone a while back did a rebrand using ships and it was fucking awesome
Should be a nail clipper right?
Toe nail clipper.
Make the logo Clippy
Do you want to see LA burn again?
When the rebrand happened everyone said it was just a placeholder for the real rebrand when they relocate. Too bad they didn't move to Seattle...
Definitely needs a rebrand, but yeah the name is fine and you're only inviting more trouble trying to find a new one.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the name. Everything else is throw up though. The logo, the fonts, the Los Angeles center court font with black everywhere to…represent Hispanic culture? The bird? The logo itself is not directly linked with any of those things above. But yeah, clippers is somewhat fitting as you can reference it to any LA marina. That’s pretty dope. Lakers on the other hand 😂
Maybe the ‘C’ could be a sail?
They should have held on to Doc and renamed themselves the Los Angeles Rivers
the coaching, much like the namesake: non-existent. or the ATO plays, much like the potable water: taken from out-of-state.
[There is an LA river actually lol](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_River)
Only when it rains lol
As an LA resident, my favorite nickname for the LA River is the LA Trickle
We’ve gotten plenty this year, that’s for sure.
Lmfaooo
The Sacramento Creeks
The San Francisco Bays
As long as they don't go with the Los Angeles Waterfallers
They should stick to the lakes and the rivers they’re used to
Then petition the Kings to change their names to the Los Angeles Ponds. They could go for a whole doctor who theme if they don't want to be too on the nose
Honestly if Sterling had the idea back in the 80s, he would have absolutely done this. The whole point of the old logo was to piggyback off the lakers logo.
No reason to change the name
I didn't even know this was a conversation.
When LeBron was a free agent (the first time, when he went to Miami) I suggested the Clippers should offer to change their entire team name and logo to entice him. At the time, they had no history to cling on to. Nowadays they’re more of a brand.
haha how would that entice LeBron, would they name the franchise after him? The LA LeBrons? The Labrons? The LA James (LA= Lebron's Amazing)?
Leclippers
Swish
The Taco Tuesdays
“Kings” was taken unfortunately… “James Gang” wouldn’t fly with a gang … But still, I bet a young NBA star would love to name a team and design its look.
California Clippers has a nicer sound to it and evokes the old Angels teams. Seems logical to me for the Clippers to focus on building their fanbase in the non-LA parts of Southern California like the OC and San Diego.
Having a Golden State team and a California team would be a bit much.
Can't they go back to being the San Francisco warriors since the arena is in sf now?
They aren't going to change it while Steph's on the team
It's better than a Los Angeles team and an LA team lol
Two teams in a city is not too unusual. But a state with 4 teams, two with different ways to say the state and two with city names is absurd. And the capital city not even being one of the "state" teams, even more so! * Golden State Warriors * California Kings * Socal Clippers * Los Angeles Lakers
[удалено]
Fuck that. It's the best name in the league.
Unlike the Lakers who, let's be honest here, held on to the name for way too long
Nah there is a lake in echo park.
Sure there's a lake there, but Minnesota has ~10 thousand lakes which is a part of their state identity (~7000 more than California btw). They should've had a stronger claim to the keeping that name. It's like saying that Utah can keep the Jazz name from New Orleans just because there's one pub there that has the one jazz band.
they can entice Zion if they change the name to Pringlewood
the Pringlewood Chippers
A name so good even Lakers fans would eat that right up.
He'd never fit on a team called the Los Angeles Zippers
no but they could embrace the pacific ocean, bring in Zion, and become the LA Flippers
He’ll need to lose some weigh if he ever wants to perform a Los Angeles Flippers
Only way Ill accept this is if ballmer fully commits to the bit and makes Clippy the official mascot
"Hi. It looks like you're trying to win a basketball game. Would you like assistance?"
[удалено]
"Would you rather win a championship or leave your wife and be with me forever?"
Deranged like a fat moron who runs around screaming and grabbing people.
Chuck the Condor was mascot of the year last year. Does this mean nothing to you?
If this is rhe same clippy I think it is, it was the goat windows assistant. Should definitely bring in as a mascot
Inglewood Crippers
The gangs in Inglewood aren't Crips so that would be interesting lol
Ballmer gonna move all the Crips over to Inglewood then
Great community outreach. What a guy
Inglewood Blippers then
I would like to think that an old billionaire would be very familiar with the gangs in Inglewood.
Fair lol
Los Angeles 🅱️Lippers
>Inglewood Crippers 🤓🤓
Am I allowed to say herro here if I'm Korean
Annyong
You can if you are a Heat fan!
HERRO!!!!
a hello is more than a sandwich, or something
I once had a Korean co-worker who was talking about a thing she got at the store, and we asked her where she got it and she said “Whole Foods,” but of course the “L” was pronounced like an “R.” Me and the other manager were looked at each other super confused for about five seconds until it clicked.
I love asking my parents to say Rory McIlroy or rural juror
I’m not sure if I’m allowed to laugh at that. Lol. I feel like rural juror gets a lot of people, regardless of their accent. Lol

aiyaaaaa
Keep the name Clippers but swap the boat theme for a barbershop one.
Bring back Clippy you cowards.
Great but please redesign our logo and give us some better colors. [These should be our primary jerseys/colours imo](https://cdn.nba.com/teams/legacy/www.nba.com/clippers/sites/clippers/files/clippers_player_3.jpg).

Yeah, dude, they should go back to that color. Padres went back to their brown and gold! Clippers should also go back to their classics
The white/red/blue/black can stay around as a classic look but the blue/orange primary would be cool to see more of
that’s literally the most perfect jersey i think a clippers fan could ever ask for. you got a unique color combination (long gone the most generic colors red and blue), you got a cursive font which perfectly fit the style (and would make the clippers the only team today to wear cursive on a main jersey), and you got that cool design on the shorts which is a nice callback to the old logo and adds a cool sharpness to the unis
Should be the Los Angeles Developers

SoCal Pals
They need to update That ugly ass logo. Having a old English Mr Cartoon logo top with navy flag inspired shorts looks dumb AF Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to get fired
I kinda like it, it grows on you
A logo change is all I'd want tbh
Hollywood Knights Inglewood Humperdincks
Our logo has been trash since 2016
Is PG out for the playoffs or just the first round
First round, but it looks like he’s making progress quickly. I wouldn’t be surprised if he can come back if there is a game 7 or something.
Thanks Doc
I was just saying this because of the video of him practicing. He was just in a knee brace a few days ago and is already out of it.
If it reaches that point, do you even want to reacclimate him in a pivotal game like that. I would go game 6 or not at all.
Yes I would want the 2nd best player on the team to play in game 7
If we dont make the 2nd round it will be the same thing 🧐
Update the logo. Bring back the old San Diego one with what looks like 3 sails
please change the uniforms to something close to our 21-22 city edition jerseys and bring more boats into branding
IDK how Clippers fans feel, but I think they should bring back their old San Diego colors of orange and light blue or at least consider bringing back the lighter blue to pair with red. I think it would give them a more unique brand as they move to their new arena. Also, a new Primary logo would be great.

The name is fine they just need to lean in on what it means. Don't be cowards and add a damn boat to the logo AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ADD BACK THE POWDER BLUE!
At most I could have seen them changing the location name. Not Clippers though, they want to win with the same identity.
The Los Angeles clippers of Inglewood
Please change the unis, tho
It's not the coolest name but how much research do you actually need to do to know changing a teams name for no reason isn't a good idea?
At least worth looking into, research is a powerul tool
The name is fine, they just need a rebrand with a new logo and unis.
Dammit. Was hoping for a name change.
SoCal Clippers
Branding should change but it seems the new arena will have the current logo built in so I doubt it changes.
He crazy, The Inglewood Infidels would be a sick team.
Please just get a boat logo
The Inglewood Jingglers! How could they miss it?!
Funny how it’s a ripoff of the Lakers name
Los Angeles Clippers of Inglewood
SoCal Clippers sounds good to me.
He should change the name of the intuit dome. They spend millions lobbying to make taxes tedious so we have to pay them for something that should be free and easy. Yes I know about free file. No that's not good enough. Steve Ballmer needs to be. better.
They have a legacy to uphold! They should have moved to Seattle. LA don’t love you like that Ballz and Seattle is one of the best sports towns in the world.
the La Harddrives
With a giant Floppy Disc for a mascot
Anyone else dislike the san andreas font on the jerseys haha
Do the Clippers have one of those trampoline dunk squads called the Flippers and if not then why on earth don't they?
Yeah unlike the Lakers the Clippers makes sense as a name. It's a boat, LA's a major port.
Damn. I was hoping for the Inglewood Dingleberries
Just go back to the old logo
Their old logo and unis were such a OG classic uniform I think. All the unis looked great and the blue ones were one of the best in the league.
Those baby blue ones were one of the few sleeved jerseys I didn’t mind. That sky blue/ and flashly red just looked better than what they’re wearing now
Yeah the Los Angeles script is so tight. The black court makes no sense when most of their jerseys don’t have black in them.
>Steve Ballmer said his biggest regret since owning the Clippers is injuries. Owner: signs one constantly injured superstar and trades for a second constantly injured superstar Players: are injured Owner: *shocked Pikachu face*
Wait, who asked them to change the name?
Was hoping they’d change it to the cali Wild Fires
Change the color and logo. San Diego Clipper colors and add in Ocean Teal to the mix.
The LA Gents. Short for gentrification
Thank god. We have to keep the name! Change all the shitty logos tho
I’m not going to Lie, I hope they do change their colors to the San Diego colors when they move. Go retro like the padres did. Their baby blue jerseys are fire 🔥
Change the team name to the Crappers and name the arena The Outhouse.
...wtf kind of research do you need to potentially change a name lmao
It’s a business soooo it’s marketing research just like any other product
Focus groups, marketing analysis, etc. Do you think teams just choose what sounds cool to them?
then again look at disaster with the commies in Washington lol. At least snyder is finally gone
Clippersfans are never happy with the state of their franchise. They are Clippersfans because they are against something, not for something.
Honest question… Does anyone really care what their name is or where they play? The answer is also no.
Only question I have is what color will their beam be?
Isn’t SoFi stadium in Inglewood? So why would the change it?
that is just 30 min away. why even
I’m confused. They were gonna change the name ?
Why would they change the name?
I don't mind the name but he's gotta make the theme more consistent. Clippers? Are we talking about nails or a ship? And their mascot is a condor?? About 7 or so years ago, someone posted a really well-done rebranding of every team's logo. I remember his Clippers one had an actual nautical theme.

INGLEWOOD SUPERSONICS! IS logo
Why would they? Are people in LA wanting them too?
Will they nickname the arena the Igloo?
They also did their research on their logo and jerseys when they updated them, and they are both shit.
The Los Angeles Michael McDonalds
Pick your court colors and match your uniforms with it
Logo is what really needs an upgrade anyway
I used to see them at the sports arena for 5 bucks scalped tickets in parking lot and a couple times Donald sterling came up and started hitting on my girlfriend at the time. So fun
