hopefully they are allowed to use the old uniforms on some "throwback" nights

it's not like the old logo doesn't exist anymore, they still sell those hats in Lids





I'm surprised how much I don't hate the new style logo...almost prefer it over the one that they tried to make look like the old one...it needs a damn orange basketball in its hand dammit

"Similar as the new-look Hornets will be to the old look, they didn't have the option to simply adopt exact replicas from the 1990s. "We wanted to connect to the historical element, but we had to stay by league standards," said team president Fred Whitfield. "That forced us to refresh, rather than just go back to the old look." Whitfield was referring to NBA rules that discarded logos go under league control and are marketed separately under what the NBA calls its "Hardwood Classics" brand. That's the brand the Bobcats currently sell in their team store, with the original Hornets logos or replicas of jerseys worn by Larry Johnson or Alonzo Mourning. Whitfield said the team will start selling new Hornets-logo merchandise around the weekend of Jan. 18. Arena said the league is fine with teams returning to historic looks, as the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers all have the past few years, but ask teams to "do it newer, fresher.""

i'm not a fan of the new style logos where they just cram everything into a centered area. the pelicans logo is the same deal - name/logo/ball all right there

that was a big part of why the old logo was great. same with the ncsu strutting wolf. it is better than the updated old logo though

12/21/2013 9:03:19 PM

here's the video from the reveal...they put a lot into this thing

12/21/2013 9:04:47 PM

I approve of the new logo. Actually makes me kinda want to buy some merch.

12/21/2013 9:16:29 PM

uniform designs won't be revealed until summer, according to that article above

12/21/2013 9:18:30 PM

just think of vandy previewing the new hornets uni

12/21/2013 9:19:10 PM

But they still lose, and lose to the team at the very bottom of the league.

12/21/2013 9:48:06 PM

How one of those bunnies doesn't fall for Big Al on the putback I don't know.

Fun game though.

12/21/2013 9:51:25 PM

The CH with the crown, the profile hornet, and the buzz city logo are all really cool.

Well done to all associated with the rebranding. I read today that Nike had a big hand in helping out too.

12/22/2013 11:04:43 AM

Jordan doesn't want to ruin his career.

12/22/2013 11:47:15 AM

I actually like all the logos. they should keep them all and one official one

makes sense to me, it's like a video game powerup

12/24/2013 11:48:15 AM

i think it looks more like a hornet now than it did back in the day with its dragonfly wings

Big game tonight vs the Heat. Bobcats went on a skid over the last few weeks but have won 2 of 3 since MKG came back. Currently in the 8th spot for the playoffs.

Kemba is hitting his stride and Big Al is finally playing like the Al Jefferson of old. He's been unguardable the past few games, though he somehow makes everything look ridiculously easy. 30 points and 16 boards last night.

Interested to see how MKG fairs against Lebron tonight.

1/18/2014 11:28:00 AM

Hornets gear goes on sale tonight too.

I might go scalp a ticket and check the game out.

1/18/2014 11:39:01 AM

^they got them starter jackets son?

I need a fresh one.

Old one is in a display case draped across an LJ signed mini ball.

1/18/2014 11:46:49 AM

Kemba's gonna have a bad ankle sprain

and SESH JUST YOKED ON BRON

1/18/2014 9:15:44 PM

4/28/2014 9:59:25 PM

Good riddance.

That first home game next year is going to be loud as fuck.

4/28/2014 10:01:31 PM

A new era begins!

4/28/2014 10:02:05 PM

Hopefully Jordan gets recorded being a racist too so the new era can begin without that dumb fuck

4/28/2014 10:47:13 PM

cant wait to see the uniforms, court design, etc

4/28/2014 10:48:51 PM

we need a good wing player

oh I'm sorry to be talking about the actual team

4/28/2014 10:53:36 PM

the pacers have plenty of wings

4/28/2014 11:08:27 PM

^^TJ Warren?

If the Heat series proved anything, it's that Gary Neal is really bad at everything besides shooting. Need to get a replacement ASAP. Hopefully we'll get lucky and get the Pistons top-8 protected pick this year. An athletic, sharp-shooting wing like Gary Harris would be great on this team.

^yeah, I was extremely underwhelmed by him practically ever since we traded for him. Sad that he couldn't become an upgrade over Henderson.

4/29/2014 8:46:20 PM

How to improve next year:

-Lock Zeller in a weight room
-Lock MKG in a gym shooting jumpers
-Lock Gary Neal out of all Hornet facilities

"Adding strength, adding range, being a better isolation player." -- Cody Zeller on his off-season agenda.

Bradley Beal picked right in front of Charlotte last year.

But knowing this group I doubt they would have picked him anyway.

4/30/2014 11:34:21 AM

Behind him

Davis, MKG, Beal.....................................Drummond

4/30/2014 12:13:45 PM

Beal had a lower true shooting % than MKG this year, and he can't defend effectively at his size. Let's not pretend that he's a future all-star.

That said, Henderson needs to be replaced with a shooter. Going we pull off a deal for Afflalo.

Frank Kaminsky calls out the bobcats

Quote :

"I am at the pinnacle of my basketball playing career, at least in my eyes. I know the NBA has their crazy fans and all, but if you look at all of their games, there are games when teams like the Bobcats get hardly any fans, and it looks flat out boring"

5/1/2014 11:41:06 AM

lol

It's somehow just occurred to him that bad professional sports teams don't draw as many fans.

5/1/2014 11:44:12 AM

yeah, i'm sure Kaminsky, in Wisconsin, has watched a ton of Bobcats games...

Bobcats games were actually decently attended from the ones i've seen on tv. I mean, especially for a team that had the worst winning % in NBA history just two years ago.

5/1/2014 11:44:27 AM

Zach Randolph is on target!

5/12/2014 6:18:08 PM

I don't want Zach Randolph for $15-17M/year.

We've made the mistake of overpaying non-elite players before. Real nice player. Not the player for us imo. We need a difference maker on offense.

5/12/2014 7:45:26 PM

Yeah, we have big AL already. He's almost the same style as big AL.
I think a SF/SG is what we need. For example, lebron.

5/12/2014 8:34:44 PM

^ every team could use a lebron. Shoot be talking that bootychatta

5/12/2014 9:12:59 PM

I'm taking my talents to the Queen City to show Jordan who is the greatest of all time.

5/12/2014 9:22:33 PM

Not every team. Teams who already have strong SF don't need him, like Houston, Indiana, LA Clippers.

5/12/2014 10:05:48 PM

Every team in the league would trade their best player for Lebron

Maybe not OKC. But that's about it.
