If the New England Patriots won’t right the horrible wrong that was shelving Pat Patriot for their current “Flying Elvis”, I suppose there was little chance of Benjamin Franklin becoming the 76ers new logo.
That doesn’t make this any less unfortunate.

How awesome could this have been? How can anyone pass up the opportunity to buy a snapback with Ben Franklin pulling off a crossover on it? Especially with such a wonderful smug smirk on his face? The logo is gold and it’s a shame that the Sixers backed off.
C’mon, the team is still a couple of years away from being relevant again. Give the people something to cheer. Give the people a logo which would automatically be the best in the NBA. Give the people Ben Franklin.
