It was racist

Actually, the colors were the shades of political blue and red, so they needed to darken it.

A logo of Jerry West isn't racist.

You're stupid for thinking a logo of Jerry West, a white player, is racist.


shhhh.

They made the model thinner to better reflect modern society's strict standards of beauty and appearance.

isn't it odd that in a sport so dominated by black men that the logo of the league is a white player?

It would be pretty much like making a black hockey player the logo for the NHL.

The figure is a silhouette. How the hell would you know the race of the player? If you'd prefer to imagine the NBA logo guy as a black dude, feel free.

“First of all, I wish that had never gotten out, that logo. No I do, really. I’ve said it more than once. It’s flattering that it’s me, and I know it is me, and it is flattering. To me, I played in the time when they first started to market the league, there were five people they were gonna consider. I didn’t find out about it until the late commissioner told me about it, Walter Kennedy, and then obviously the New York Times had a big article about it. Again, it’s flattering, but if I were the NBA, I would be embarrassed about. I don’t like to do anything to call attention to myself, and when people [call him The Logo], that’s just not who I am, period. If they would want to change it, I wish they would. In many ways I wish they would.

Yes, we all know it's modeled after West. But the figure is a silhouette. It's not meant to be him specifically, it's meant to depict a generic basketball player.

It's not modeled after West. It is West.

Hence his nickname "The Logo". cuz it's him. His nickname isn't "Like the Logo"
