I think 1st/2nd but not worse than 4th.

Zach Lowe and Bill Barnwell is pretty much it for me.  And the occasional Charles Pierce thing.

People like the Grizzlies and Bucks logos?

And "touchy sorts' find the Celtics' logo to be "offensive"?

I'm getting too old.  Zach Lowe and his band of experts can get off of my lawn.

(Speaking of "offensive"and getting old ...  Zach Lowe is dropping MFer bombs now?  Does that make him edgy and hip?)

I think the Bucks new logo is pretty great.  The Grizzlies logo is solid.  I don't really have a problem with any part of the list, though I don't particularly care about the list, in general.

I don't think the Celts' logo is in any way offensive, but it is grounded in a kind of quaint stereotypical image that probably would seem really weird if it came out today.  Probably the bigger thing is calling the team "Sell-ticks" when that's not the proper way to pronounce the word.  Not to mention that "Celtic" refers to a group of people that spanned across all of Western Europe at one point in time and that were in no way concentrated or centered in Ireland.

Seems about right. It's a good logo but what he says about the colors a spot on. The new logo that's just white and green is a terrific update that simplifies everything.

The new Bucks logo might be my favorite in the league. The simplicity of the Bulls' logo is terrific. Same goes for Memphis. I don't really care for the Heat logo but I get it. If I ranked them, I might swap the Charlotte logo (good, but not my #2) with the Trailblazers logo (ranked below the Celtics at #7). I love the Blazers logo. I love the colors, the concept, and everything about it.

So you don't think 'could find' and 'derived from embarassing cliches' are any different from "touchy sorts find the Celtics' logo to be offensive"? Because that, which you posted, is -- you know, not to put too fine a point on it -- not exactly what's being said in the article.

I will bring you your lemonade and today's paper Mr Hobbs. You just rest up, ok?  :D

Haven't commented on CB in months but inclined to ask, why the beef with Lowe? From my view one of the most thorough and balanced writers on the League.

Was really struck and surprised by the apparent disdain. With the similar diligence of your posts I assumed you'd be a fan.

No mention or credit for Red Auerbach's brother being the artist behind the Celt's logo diminishes the depth of the article.  My ranking of the logo's would have been significantly different than Zach Lowe's.  I am unsure as to what "experts who understand the process" means?  Other artists? Market polling?  Who did they poll?  NBA fans?  Individual team fans?

I really hate the Hornets logo. But the Bulls, Bucks, Blazers, and of course, Celtics logos are awesome.

The credit is in a footnote under the Celtics section. Click on the bright red 5.
