New Balance Reveals Cooper Flagg’s Pine‑Edged 'CF' Logo in Macao

The pine‑edged monogram links the Mavericks rookie to his Maine roots as part of New Balance’s international promotional push during the NBA China Games.

Overview

  • New Balance unveiled Cooper Flagg’s official personal logo at its NBA China store in Macao while Flagg is in the city with the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA China Games.
  • The mark is a stylized “CF” with pine‑tree cutouts along its edges, a design Flagg said reflects his name and his Maine upbringing.
  • The reveal coincides with the Mavericks’ two preseason games in Macao against the Houston Rockets, giving the brand and player a live international audience for the launch.
  • New Balance first signed Flagg in August 2024, and the company has built on his on‑court profile after he was the No. 1 pick in 2025 and won 2025–26 NBA Rookie of the Year.
  • The logo will feed product and marketing activity tied to Flagg’s image, though early social reaction has been mixed with some critics calling the design underwhelming.
