  • It started to play in Memphis, Tennessee, where it received its current name.
  • Throughout this period, the Memphis Grizzlies logo was almost identical, except for a minor change of the wordmark, which reflected the team’s new name.
  • 1995 — 2001 The original logo featured a highly aggressive bear clenching a basketball in his paw.
  • The bear’s teeth and claws were emphasized.
  • 2001 — 2004 When the club moved to the US, it only changed one word in its logo.
  • “Vancouver” was replaced by “Memphis” in red, while the 3D teal lettering “Grizzlies” from the Memphis Grizzlies old logo remained untouched.
  • 2004 — 2018 The current logo sports a less realistic bear’s head with yellow eyes.
  • The logo is much easier to reproduce now.
  • 2018 — Today The redesign of 2018 strengthened the previous version of the Grizzlies logo, making the emblem a bit darker and the lettering — straight and solid.

  • The custom typeface of the upper part of the logotype has smooth angles, while the lower level is all strictly geometric, with sharp corners.
