Indeed it is! Haven't found a good clip of him in any SuperSonics or BG attire yet so I have to stick with the Spurs for now.

Sized right, and made of a decent thickness metal, the primary logo will make a nice bottle opener.
All is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

Now that's what I call practical thinking!

I think it was SPECIFICALLY designed that way. Take the current logo shape, fill it in with an "updated" bird picture/drawing. It makes the transition from the current logo to that one, much smoother, and less of a "sudden" change for fans. Had they said they were going to change the logo to something completely different (as they tried to do several years ago), the reaction from the fans and community would have been a total uproar (as it was back then). The company that designed this knew exactly what they were doing and probably have had a lot of experience in this area. They have done several pro logos as well.

As I stated earlier, I think the current one will eventually be dropped 2-3 years down the road and replaced with the "retail" one. As new uniforms and athletic department clothing, etc, are ordered, I am sure they will put the new font and new logo on them too. 5-7 years from now you probably won't be able to see the old logo sold anywhere (except clearance and sale items) on anything new.

Just my thoughts on the matter, fwiw....
I agree with this post. That's exactly what's going on.

This is a totally different logo than what I saw. I made references in earlier posts that the logo looked sort of like the Atlanta Falcons logo. The one i saw did I did not see this version.
