Incorrect 76ers primary logo

@Sabbatino: Can you or whoever edits the NBA teams' pages include the actual correct sixers logo instead of the alternate. All 29 other franchises have their primary logos on theirs, so it is incorrect and inconsistent. The primary logo, if you are unfamiliar, includes a blue roundel with "Philadelphia" and stars surrounding the ball logo.

They are inconsistent themselves about their logo as most sources use one logo, while others use the other one. I updated the logo to keep "consistency" like you say, but I might revert it if there will be no indication about its usage in the 2017–18 season's sources or media guides. – Sabbatino (talk) 08:15, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

@Sabbatino: I appreciate it. The NBA recognizes this logo as the "primary" even though the 76ers don't use it as much as the other, similar to the San Diego Padres where their primary is only the interlocking "SD" despite them using the "SD" within a blue circle much more. I know that all new primary logos must include the city from which the team resides. But I figured that since all other teams were using their primary logos that being the primary was the main criteria for the page and hence why I wanted the Sixers' changed.

@Megacheez: Yes, I meant to revert another edit that changed the logo from the primary to a secondary logo. I am new here so I didn't know if or how I could undo my "undoing." Sorry about that.

Please explain your reversion

I am surprised that you reverted my edit updating the logo of the 76ers, and didn't even leave an explanation. I realize you are new here but editors are expected to explain their edits especially in situations such as this.--S Philbrick(Talk) 11:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: Hey, sorry for forgetting an explanation. You are right, I am fairly new here and picking up on the do's and dont's. The 76ers' primary logo is the one that includes the blue roundel featuring "Philadelphia" and the stars around the ball logo. The ball logo by itself is more commonly used by the team in promotional material, but remains a secondary logo. As far as I can tell, the team articles have always used the primary logos on the top of its page. If there is a source that explains the 76ers replacing the roundel as the primary logo with the ball-only logo, I'm sorry for my mistake. I do believe that the NBA has a rule that pertains to primary logos requiring the city/state name of the team in the logo (the only exception being the Pacers, as the logo was in place before the rule; the Clippers have "LA" and the Thunder "OKC" in their logos). The ball-only logo does not have "Philadelphia" in the image and is another piece of evidence, to me, that it remains the secondary logo. This is something I have been fighting on the page for a while now, and I am unsure why the primary logo keeps getting removed. Then again, I acknowledge that I could be wrong.

While I am not permitted to share the full contents of the email send to Wikimedia, it came from the 76ers, who presumably know which is the correct logo. While there is the slight possibility that the 76ers are confused, I request that you restore the version I added, and separately feel free to follow up with the organization for confirmation. I'd do it myself, but I'm indisposed and barely able to send this.--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:47, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
