So, Peter Moore is the dude behind the Jordans I and II. He also came up with the "WINGS" logo and introduced Multi-Colored shoes to the NBA courts.Shortly after the Jordan II, Nike canned him and he tried to convince Mike to leave the swoosh for an athletic company he was going to. He might have beensuccessful had it not been for Tinker and the Jordan III.
Next up is Gentry. We all know him pretty well (at least you should if you visit NT regularly). He's the guy that has made some Jordan fans happy; whilelegitimately pissing most of us off. I hold him mostly at fault for managing to "water down" the JumpMan like some poor domestic beer with a twisttop. The last 5+ years haven't been fun to watch, especially if you've been watching since year one.
The Question remains, which Designer would you least want on your Design Team? Moore, the guy who tried to steal Nike's cash cow and lure him to anothercompany? Or Gentry, the guy who hasn't had any "brilliant" ideas and turns classic designs into something from a drunken Jackson Pollocknightmare?
My vote leans towards Moore. He's a douche, but he'd never sabotage an established brand (unless you fired him).
Please, only intelligent responses. And before CobraLameBen gets in here, I'ma say it for him "LOCK". Hooray post counts!! (it's a NT statussymbol).
Peace
