The Los Angeles Clippers the city s perennial other NBA team have seen a remarkable resurgence under new owner Steve Ballmer and are trying to emerge from the shadow of the Lakers (and the headlines of the recent past which they made for all the wrong reasons).
That resurgence includes a brand new logo which Ballmer unveiled on Conan Wednesday night. He also took fans behind the scenes (well kinda) in a video on comedy website Funny or Die which shows the team trashing all Ballmer s ideas before their star player Blake Griffin steps up to the plate as he does so often on the court.
Many fans didn t love the logo as much as Conan O Brien or the Clippers players did however and took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
Btw the Clippers logo looks awful

Some people didn t completely hate the revamp.
I really don't have a problem with the Clippers new logo. It's not the greatest thing I've ever seen but I've seen worse too

Others thought it looked a bit childish.
Do the Clippers farm out their logo design to summer school kids

One even pointed out that giving ownership of the team to Ballmer the former Microsoft CEO who took over last year made this fiasco inevitable.
A Microsoft Windows guy buys a team called the Clippers and you're surprised their logo looks like ClipArt

But Ballmer doesn t care much for the haters telling the Los Angeles Times that change is always difficult at first.
If you love the Clippers you ll love the new Clipper logo he insisted.
