NBA Basketball Team Logos

NBA goes all the way back to 1937 when it was established as The National Basketball League (NBL). It was primarily made up of Great Lakes area small-market and corporate basketball teams. The Basketball Association of America (BAA) league was founded in 1946 by owners of the major ice hockey arenas in the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. and Canada. After BAA was established to play in bigger arenas, some NBL teams decided to join the BAA. On August 3, 1949, the remaining NBL teams merged with BAA and changed the league name to National Basketball Association (NBA) to avoid legal issues. Currently, there are 30 NBA franchises. NBA team logos are easily recognizable around the world. The NBA logo player is Jerry West, which features a silhouette picture of him. Download NBA team logos in transparent PNG below.
