Well, I kind of see where Jay-Z is going with it if that is the case.
Here’s an idea, I might of mentioned it before, but since the Brooklyn flag is navy and gold, perhaps emulate the flag’s colours to their scheme just like the Mets, Knicks and Islanders did with the blue and orange NYC flag

Since red, white and blue is overused, even though they could’ve kept it for traditional purposes, perhaps add either silver-blue to the black and white colour scheme or add orange to the black. Black and orange would be a great way to pay homage to the New York Giants, even though they never played their home games in Brooklyn.

Firstly, because it’s established in New York, with the Giants, Rangers and Yankees (to a certain extent, though they really only use the red on their top hat logo). Every other major sport has a New York team that uses red, white and blue, just as the Nets have for decades.

Secondly, because it’s some continuity with the team history, where the colors were a specific reference to the team’s original name, the Americans, which was itself a reference to the ABA and the old New York Americans NHL team, which was called the Brooklyn American in their last year.

And thirdly, because they could have, and should have, used blue with touches of red, just like the baseball team whose absence they are supposedly filling (despite the fact that it’s been over half a century and within the next decade the Dodgers will have been in LA longer than they were in Brooklyn!)

In short, nice form (though the “Brooklyn” should be at the top, not the bottom), lousy, bland color scheme

i was hoping they’d at least attempt to incorporate or even revive the look they had from the late 70’s to 80’s but, seeing as how jay-z had a hand in creating this mess, the end result pretty much speaks for itself.
