PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS - NEW LOGO CONCEPT

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS - NEW LOGO CONCEPT

Update: New version of a primary/secondary logo for the Blazers.

The Portland TrailBlazers are one of the few teams in the NBA that have always had a great team brand and look. They have stayed true to their color scheme or Red, Black, and adding silver as of recent was a great addition.
With this concept, I wanted to try tying Oregon, The Blazers, as well as Oregons MLS team, Portland Timbers, into this design. I think combination of NBA/MLS logos and team names would be interesting and I think the Blazers would be a great team that could pull off that combination if it ever happened.

I will be designing a new primary/secondary mark for every NBA team. With each .gif image, you will see the new design i've created, followed by the teams current identity logo.
Enjoy!
