New Logo Concept for LeBron James #6 – LBJ6 – Custom Project »

LeBron‘s got a new team. Seems like he was able to convince Mario Chalmers – the only player on Miami‘s roster besides the new Big Three – to give up his #6 jersey. But what about LBJ’s logo? Our ongoing poll features James’ previous Nike logos plus a mock up of his old LBJ23 with #6 in it. The custom LBJ6 has been very well received by fans, but check out yet another version, which also combines his old logo style, LBJ & #6. Personally, I think it’s been very well executed and although it’s just a custom concept made by since79 it looks very professional. I wouldn’t mind if Nike borrowed the design. Thanks to Spencer for sending the photo. Read author’s message.

The changing of LeBron James number from 23 to 6 would probably also spawn the changing of his logo used by Nike. I took a moment this morning after reading about him changing numbers to do up my idea of what it could be while keeping the spirit of the current logo mark. Since this was something that LBJ brought up in November of 2009, I would imagine that Nike probably already has a solid amount of design ideas created as they waited for this moment to come. We’ll have to wait and see.
