Maybe they tuned into the podcast.
A mere week ago, the Stadium Journey podcast delved into the topic of the fresh Los Angeles Clippers logo, suggesting that perhaps reviving the old San Diego Clippers emblem would have been a wiser choice. Surprisingly, that wish manifested itself, albeit in an unexpected manner.
The San Diego Clippers are making a comeback, complete with a revamped version of the logo used from 1978 to 1982. However, this incarnation of the Clippers won't be gracing the NBA courts but instead, in the NBA G League, with their new home set to be the Frontwave Arena for the 2024-2025 season. This relocation marks a shift from Ontario, California, where the team had played at the Toyota Center since the 2017-2018 season.
The Clippers will notably be the inaugural San Diego team in the G-League, and their new $85 million abode, the Frontwave Arena, will boast a seating capacity of 7,500 upon its completion this summer at Oceanside’s El Corazon Park.
Originating as the Buffalo Braves in 1970, the franchise transitioned to San Diego in 1978 before settling in Los Angeles in 1984. Meanwhile, the LA Clippers are poised to move to the state-of-the-art Intuit Dome for the upcoming season.
As for the logo, it is great to see the sails back. I am glad we were able to help.
