The Knicks Logos
|
Father Knickerbocker
 |
The Father Knickerbocker logo was used from the 1946-47 season until the 1963-64 season. The figure of Father Knickerbocker dribbling a basketball was a symbol that evoked the history and spirit of the city and while the name was eventually abbreviated to Knicks, the legacy remains the same. From the beginning, the colors of the franchise have remained the same. The official colors of New York City have always been orange, blue, and white, and except for a short time in the early 80's, the Knicks have always used those traditional colors.

Classic Roundball
 |
The Knicks changed their logo for the 1964-65 season to the Classic Roundball logo which was the logo they won both championships under. The Roundball logo remained mostly unchanged for the better part of almost 30 years and became the image by which the franchise was known worldwide
|
|
Secondary Logo
 |
The Knicks also used this Secondary Logo from the late '60s to the early '70sas an alternative to the Classic Roundball. The logo remained unchanged until June 17, 1992 when the Knicks completely redesigned and revolutioned the Classic Roundball into the New Look. |
|
The New Look
 |
The New Look incorporates three-dimensional graphics with a sleeker more modern lettering, and placed the logo within a triangle frame. The updating of the logo shows Knicks look and attitude for the '90s and a reestablishing of the championship form. |
|
The New Look Revised
 |
At the beginning of the 1995-96 season, the Knicks continued to refine their logo and introduced The New Look Revised. The new image had the words "New York" across the top. |
|
50th Anniversary Season
 |
Now in the club's 50th Anniversary season, the Knicks field a new team and a new logo for the silver anniversary. The special logo will be used in conjunction with throwback uniforms, games highlighting each decade in Knick history, and other commemorative events |
