Sports news » Natalia Bryant honors Kobe with logo on USC graduation sash

Natalia Bryant, the eldest daughter of the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant, recently celebrated her graduation from the University of Southern California (USC).

Her graduation sash featured a poignant tribute to her father.

Natalia adorned her sash with Kobe`s distinctive Nike sheath logo, strategically placed near her heart.

She successfully completed her studies at USC`s School of Cinematic Arts.

Messages of congratulations poured in from various notable personalities, including USC basketball standout JuJu Watkins, WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, and acclaimed actor Michael B. Jordan.

The iconic sheath logo, introduced by Nike in 2005, is widely recognized from Kobe`s signature footwear and apparel.

Kobe Bryant`s enduring influence will also be highlighted at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

A special emblem for the LA Games, designed by his wife, Vanessa Bryant, draws inspiration from Kobe`s logo and his “Black Mamba” mindset.

Vanessa shared that the emblem serves as an honor to Kobe and is intended to inspire the Mamba mentality in athletes pursuing their Olympic and Paralympic dreams.

She added that the family is immensely proud to see this symbol represent the Games in Los Angeles, a city Kobe loved, and believes he would have been equally proud to be a host.

Kobe, his daughter Gianna, and seven other individuals tragically lost their lives in a helicopter accident in January 2020.
