We Review the Indiana Pacers New Secondary Logo. Don’t Worry, We Have Jokes

The Indiana Pacers apparently have a new secondary logo, but it is getting mixed reviews so far.

When Larry Bird drove an Indiana Pacers branded IndyCar up 5th Avenue this week in New York, you might have noticed a different logo on the car.

According to Conrad Burry of SportsLogos.net, trademark filings confirm that it was the new secondary logo of the Pacers.

There isn’t official word from the team yet, but let’s assume it is, if for no other reason than reviewing it and making jokes.

The 8 Points, 9 Seconds roundtable gave mixed reviews of the streamlined logo.

“I like the attempt to make it represent the state of Indiana.” — Josh Padmore

“It looks like a ’90s video game rendering of Kid from Kid ‘N Play.” — Tim Donahue

“It resembles the Pacers’ season in the worst way possible.” — Lucas Parrish

“The Pacers Plus Rewards Card will look super cool on my key ring.” — Dave Searle

“If the state of Indiana had a Lego figure, I imagine this is what it would look like.” — Kevin Kaspar

“For Paul George, Indiana may not even be a secondary option, so this logo shouldn’t be either.” — Mason Hankins

#NotMySecondaryLogo — Justin Ochoa

“The “Hoosiers” remake looks stupid.” — Jon Lafollette

“The Nintendo 64 version of a new logo… points for trying but no thanks.” — Jacob Breece

“If this was the last straw for Paul George’s decision, I can’t blame him.” — Whitney Medworth

“I know it’s the shape of Indiana, but this looks like a logo for a Texas sports team.” — Will Furr

“Ugh. Is that someone’s attempt to make the state of Indiana look like a P? It looks like someone’s bad drawing of Indiana.” — Will Furr’s roommate

“Is that a fake? That’s fake right? Yeah, that’s a straight bologna logo. Glad that’s settled.”— Ryan Barth

If it is the team’s secondary logo, I’m fine with it. The secondary logo should be unique and not just a minimalist copy of the primary logo. We’ll have to wait to see any changes to the primary one.
