Adidasâ collaboration with NBA player Jalen 'J-Dub' Williams has sparked controversy over the design of his logo. While it aims to represent 'dub', fans often misread it as 'jub' due to its complex typography. This confusion, along with comparisons to other popular NBA logos, has divided opinions among sports enthusiasts. Though intended to be clever, the intricate design may hinder its recognition and overall appeal, emphasizing the challenges behind creating iconic and effective athlete logos in sports branding.
While J-Dub's custom Adidas logo is clever in concept, I think it suffers from doing too much. There's always the danger that dual designs run the risk of being misinterpreted.
Jalen 'J-Dub' Williams is certainly not the first NBA player to score a collab with the sport's brand, but his unique logo design might be the most controversial.
