Inspiration behind *Vancouver Grizzlies*

This week I introduce to you the Vancouver Grizzlies Logo. One of my all time favorites and a hugely popular logo. We used to get OD requests for this logo. Recently, the NBA and the Memphis Grizzlies decided to release the logo and allow it to be used.
Here’s some backstory on the team incase some of you readers don’t know. They came into the league in 1995 along with the Toronto Raptors. They were the Vancouver Grizzlies until the 2001 season when they moved to Memphis. From their first season in the league (1995) they used the same jerseys up until the move the Memphis in 2001. The only change was “Vancouver” to “ Memphis” while they kept the same colors and logos schemes. Then in 2004/2005 season they made the switch to the new jerseys and colors they’re currently using.

When we first received word that Grizzlies logo could in fact be used the first step was to figure out what the consumers would want. So we went with the Team Color way at first. We also made a color way to match the popular Air Jordan 11 “Spacejam” which sold out in about 2 days. We currently have 3 – 5 in production will we be released at later time. Also in working with New Era and the NBA we “reworked” one of their logos for use which should be arriving in a few Months. Here’s a small preview of a Vancouver Grizzlies New Era Fitted that *hopefully* arrive for the Air Max Neon 95 release in March.

Stay tuned for more Vancouver Grizzlies New Era Fitteds.

Wow…thanks guys. I’ve tried contacting several shops and no one ever wants to reveal the creative process behind creating a custom cap. I truly appreciate you sharing with us this bit of information.

this has nothing to do with the inspiration of the design behind the grizzlies logo.

No, but it did have to do with the inspiration behind our hats.
