The head honchos in the Brooklyn Nets front office allowed rapper Jay Z to design the new team logo. The resulting logo is what you see above. What were they thinking? Jay Z is not a graphic artist, and that logo looks like something out of Spike Lee’s School Daze.

From TMZ.com:

The team — which will be relocated from NJ to Brooklyn next season — just released the new colorless logo … which is already being hailed as “the new badge for Brooklyn.”

Jay-Z, who is being credited with playing an “instrumental” role in the creation of the new logo, said in a statement, “The boldness of the designs demonstrate the confidence we have in our new direction … The new colors and logos are examples of our commitment to update and refine all aspects of the team.”
