This scabbard extending in three directions also has the design of K, which represents Kobe's three roles: attacker, defender and leader.
Kobe Bryant's symbol
The scabbard symbol, inspired by the Japanese mountain city, symbolizes his samurai spirit, which means that Kobe Bryant is like a sword, stabbing his opponent in the heart.
Logo is a combination of shield and sword, extending in three directions, and also contains the letter "K", indicating that Kobe plays three different roles: attack, defense and leader.
In Kobe's retirement letter, the new Logo combined with HV letters was exposed for the first time. HV stands for hero and villain respectively, and the two blend with each other, showing the meaning of the integration of hero and villain, which is also the best display of Kobe's 20-year career. Just like Kobe's own classic quotation, love me or hate me, there must be one.
The slogan of "guiding villains and releasing heroes" is the official explanation of HV Logo, taming wild demons and releasing invincible perfect heroes.
