Petition To Redesign NBA Logo After Kobe Bryant Gains Over A Million Signatures

Posted on January 28, 2020January 28, 2020 by TIML Staff Posted in Feel Good News, That's Love, UncategorizedTagged Kobe Bryant, Million Signatures, NBA Logo, News, Petition, Thisimoscatolife

(TIML NEWS) Currently, former professional basketball player Jerry West remains as the league’s logo. West was also a Los Angeles Laker.

On Sunday (Jan. 26), a helicopter carrying families, which included Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, crashed in Calabasas, California. All nine people onboard were pronounced dead. As investigators continue to decipher the exact cause of the tragic incident, the sports legend’s supporters are pushing for his likeness to always remain a part of the sport he dominated.

A change.org petition has received over a million signatures to encourage the National Basketball Association (NBA) to change its logo to feature Bryant. Currently, former professional basketball player Jerry West remains as the league’s logo. West was also a Los Angeles Laker.

Michael Jones, the organization’s managing director, shared that the petition has grounds to memorialize Bryant in a sport he changed forever. “Nick’s petition is not only the fastest-growing on Change.org, it’s also the first petition of 2020 to top 1 million signatures anywhere in the globe,” Jones said in a statement. “As the world comes to terms with the death of someone as famous and well-known as Kobe Bryant, Nick has given basketball fans an outlet to create a permanent memory of someone who made history in the NBA.”

As noted by The Undefeated, today also marks 23 years since Bryant, at age 18, became the youngest player to start a game.

According to CNN, the pilot received Special VFR Clearance (SVFR) to fly the Sikorsky S-76B helicopter due to weather conditions. The helicopter left from John Wayne Airport near Irvine, Calif., on its destination to Thousand Oaks where Gianna and her two teammates were expected to play a basketball game.th-1
