Want more corporate sponsors? Change the name to the "FLIGHT".

The Cat theme is working really well in North Carolina, also those who believe the Bobcats are named after Bob Johnson, check again first off everyone knows that the fans were given the choice to vote on the name out of the Flight, Dragons, and Bobcats. Second Bob Johnson nor anyone else in the Bobcats organization has come out and said the Charlotte Bobcats are named after Mr. Johnson.

Everyone just speculates that the name oraginates from Bob Johnson. And he may have named the team after himself, but who gives a damn. The Charlotte Bobcats are a team not a person. So don't change the name and WIN A DAMN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

You could have probably put this garbage in one of the other name changing threads.

fug yeah we agree.

Who would call it that? You don't go around saying the "Orlando Magics".

Because whether or not you are talking about one instance of magic or multiple, you use the word magic. You don't say "magics", just as you stated.

However, when talking about one flight, you say flight. When talking about multiple flights, you say flights, like I just did.

Was it that hard to grasp?

...Take "flight"

Charlotte Flights...Seriously... ?

I'm done to change the name to the Flight, but I really hope they don't change to "Carolina Flight"

The NBA is the only team w/ the Charlotte namesake, it'd be sad to see that vanish in time.

Charlotte NBA FTW!!!

Seriously, this is the worst idea, ever. But, there is a team named "Thunder" so why not...

maybe somebody needs to do a little research, but i will supply some facts to this tired debate, the bobcats have added over 30 sponsors since last august including recent multi year SIX FIGURE deals with US Airways,Life Lock,Vemme Nutrition, and Horizon Eye Care. They will host several corporate clients this weekend, so look to hear about more in the future. as far changing the name to carolina(fill in the blank), it's not going to happen cause it's a part of the contract between the city and the nba that Charlotte appears as the team name just like the city has a severe penalty if the bobcats break their lease anytime in the near future( they would basically have to pay off the cost to build TWCA)

funny you say that I got an email from nba.com calling the magic just that earlier today.

There are better names out there than "Flights". Nowdays, that name just doesn't fit despite NC being the first in flight. I prefer Dragons over Flights.
