In a provocative clapback to haters, the new logo featured on a t-shirt reading "OVERRATE THAT" – a response to naysayers who claimed the basketball player was overhyped. In tandem with the Puma logo, Haliburton's signature emblem has a distinct contemporary flair that radiates attitude, perfectly complementing the design debut.
When designed with purpose, sports logos have the power to unite a fan base, representing sporting passion and athletic excellence.
