Now that they aren't owned by Bob, they need a better name.

How about the Charlotte Spiders?

I always thought the Charlotte Flight -- the name the public voted for over the bobcats -- was a good name. A little WNBA-sounding, but it's not bad ... especially if Jordan buys it.

yeah, flight is probably most logical, although i too am a little leery of names that you can't pleuralize

9/11/2009 4:03:37 PM

I am leary of names that don't end in 'S'

Jazz, Magic, Heat, etc

9/11/2009 4:05:55 PM

like wolfpack?

Another name in the running with 'Flight, Bobcats, and Web' that I liked was the dragons.

Kinda cheesy, but you could do some cool apparel and court graphics with it, IMO.

Flight at least has significance to our area, and it would piss off Ohio. I miss the 'Hornets', which i wish we could buy the naming rights back. It was also significant to Charlotte

Any of those are better than the 'Bobcats'.

Charlotte Throwbacks

this will work on many levels, where many = 2

1) the high points of the franchise have been "LOL, buy a ticket and check out how short one of our players is" and "we are riding the teal craze to the top," both of which occurred about 20 years ago

2) grandparents will be confused when kids ask for a throwback jersey for xmas
