Yeah but before they move to ny the first time they originated in New Jersey, they only moved to Long Island NY for like about 10 years and went back to Jersey
To answer Troy's questions about Philly and Memphis, the country was because they were the Syracuse Nationals and the black was to cover the Grizzlies name.
The old Piston's logo is a bunch of pistons from a car because Detriot is the motor city, but they are only one end of a piston. It made sense after I saw it lol.
5:48 The Brooklyn nets were first called the New york nets before changing to New Jersey in 1977 and then changing to Brooklyn in 2011. Fun fact they were only in New York for only 1976.
Dude I'm European and I knew all the NBA logos. Even the ones from the Spurs, Pistons and the Clippers. I know almost the entire NBA history out of my head by self-study. Because the the Pistons used to play in Fort Wayne before moving to Detroit. And the NY Nets used to be a ABA team. And not long after the ABA NBA merger in 1976 they became the NJ Nets till they moved to Brooklyn in the early 2010's and became The Brooklyn Nets. Julius Erving even used to Play for the NY Nets. And the logo of the Clippers was the logo when the Clippers where still playing in San Diego. It was the logo they used between 1978 and 1982. You see it wasn't that difficult. I got them all.
6:02 "Weren't they the New Jersey Nets?" Yes, they were! That logo was BEFORE they moved to New Jersey! 7:35 That IS Seattle Supersonics, the team moved to Oklahoma.
Because the nets were founded in New Jersey as the American then They changed their name To the new York nets Officially going back to New Jersey to became the New Jersey nets Then they relocate To Brooklyn To became Brooklyn nets
i dont understand the charlotte hornets one. not the new orleans one going to the pelicans, but the actual charlotte hornets one. they were an expansion team. seattle to oklahoma was a clear change of a city being like ok this team was this, now its this, in the same organization. a continuation if you will. when the hell did charlotte have an nba team or nbl/baa team that had any links to the hornets of later years?
