The Los Angeles Clippers recently got a new owner, and now according to a report from Espn.com, they’ll be getting a complete makeover.
From ESPN:
“Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been looking to rebrand the team since purchasing the franchise for a record $2 billion in August and has been reviewing possible changes since November when he hired Gillian Zucker as president of business operations.”
“Early designs of two of the Clippers’ proposed new uniforms were posted online today by Paul Lukas of ESPN.com and Uni Watch. The redesign, however, is still in the early stages and team sources cautioned that the leaked images were simply two of many options being looked at.”
While team is “rebranding,” Ballmer said the name Clippers will stay and the team colors are expected to stay as well.
“The word Clippers means something now; it didn’t mean much probably a year and half ago but it means something today,” Ballmer said. “If I was to give you my visceral view, my track record is on display. Here we are, 30 years later and Windows is still called Windows. It hasn’t changed its name.”
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said he’s heard about possible changes and is open to it.
“Of course I’ve seen it but I haven’t really looked at it,” Doc Rivers said Friday when asked about the possible new uniforms. “I don’t mind change. I think change is good.”
The possible uniforms were leaked online today, which you can check out here.
