Following the death of NBA legend, Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash along with 8 other persons including his 13-year-old-daughter, Gianna on the 26th of January, 2020
Over 1 million fans have signed a petition to replace the current NBA logo which is presently a silhouette of fellow Lakers legend Jerry West with an image of Kobi Bryant.
In any case, Jerry West has expressed in the past that he would not mind if the logo was changed.
The call for the change of the logo is coming after a post was posted by a Nick M. of Vancouver, British Columbia which reads:
” With the untimely and unexpected passing of the great Kobe Bryant please sign this petition in an attempt to immortalize him forever as the new NBA Logo,‘ read the Change.Org petition”
So far, the petition has well over 1.5 million signatures and the number keeps increasing.
The petitioner aims for 3 million signatures and from all indications, it’ll reach that within the next 48 hours.
