NBA commissioner Adam Silver says there are no plans right now to change the ‘iconic’ NBA logo, despite calls to remake it in the late Kobe Bryant’s likeness.
LOS ANGELES: The NBA has no plans to change it’s “iconic” logo, despite recent calls — including from Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving — to make the late Kobe Bryant the image of the league, commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday.
“The logo is iconic,” Silver said in a virtual press conference on the eve of the NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta, Georgia, adding that it “doesn’t feel like it’s the appropriate moment to change it.”
A change.org petition urging the league to “immortalize (Bryant) forever as the new NBA logo” has garnered more than 3 million signatures since Bryant died in a helicopter crash in January of 2020.
