At the same time a new secondary logo leaked which looked like the love child of the Heat and Hornets’ logos. Where was the Pacman? Returning to the classic Pacman logo was a stroke of genius and this new logo only muddied the waters. Unfortunately this logo is here to stay. If it wasn’t for the flame I might be on board but that doesn’t make any sense.

These early mockups proved to be a legit, but when the uniforms were officially launched they looked much more polished. I’m still not mad about the home whites but the red and black variants look sick and overall I love the new branding. The mix and match combinations look great and I can’t wait to see the team roll out in their new gear next season.

The new unis launched with a 3D court-projection video and this got me thinking: What would the Hawks court look like if it integrated the new branding? In the video, the edges of the court — which are currently navy blue — are obscured. I couldn’t help myself and started mocking up concepts right away. Here’s what I’ve come up with.
