Where's the Funk?

Check out the latest logo and color scheme for the soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets. Evidently this creation is the making of Jay-Z.

I'm disappointed - the design itself isn't bad, but the color scheme makes this logo about as eye-catching as a pothole. It seems like Jay-Z is trying to make the team look more intimidating with the darker colors, but I guess he never got the memo that NBA players are not tough. Whatever happened to the team that stood for funk, the ABA team of Julius Erving? This is just further evidence that I need to be entrusted with ownership of a pro sports team more than anyone.
