Jordan is considering Name change for bobcats

[necroplasm]

Charlotte Flight would be pretty embarrassing...

[Starscream]

am I the only one who thinks New Orleans should change there name so we can go back to being the Charlotte Hornets?

I'm down with that.

Hornets and Bobcats are both gay. Flight sounds like a soccer team.

The Charlotte Knights. Rename Bobcat Arena Jamelot. Or just call the court Jamelot Court. Keep the current colors. Put Sir (first name) on every player's jersey, instead of the usual last name. Knight merchandise would sell like crazy nationwide.

^ thats the best idea yet. Jamelot!! lmao:smilielol5: thats awesome

Its less weak than those that say they need a name change to support the team.

I don't think anyone's on Bob's jock, but the haters sure are swinging on his nuts, 2 months after he sold the team, dancing like fools as if he were banished from Charlotte for an eternity.

When he still owns part of the team, and you can bet he has a say so in the operations still as well.

They change the name to something like the flight, and I'm out. Its bullpoo and embarrassing and I'd be ashamed to call myself a fan after that.

if they changed the name to flight, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

It didn't hit me when I walked away from the Hornets.

I'd feel the same if the Panthers decided to change their name to the Spartanburg Spartans.

And truth be told, we dont need their support. That kind of conditional support, is just that, conditional. Charlotte, nationally doesnt have a great reputation when it comes to fan support, and anyone who reads a thread like this can understand why.

What do you expect? You've got a bunch of people who have 0 say and absolutely no control over the situation at the mercy of rich black people. Its culture shock. This bitterness and grudge holding should be expected. As soon as we have a bad year again, these same folks will throw MJ under the bus AGAIN, I GUARANTEE IT.

Dont worry the name wont be changing.

Nah as long as Jordan makes his public appearances and dances for Charlotte, they'll forgive him for the melanin content.

why do we keep going over this same tired issue, the name change is way down the list of things MJ is considering that might improve the teams bottom line, if you have been paying attention,th e bobcats are adding 6 figure sponsors on a regular basis over the last year or so, i'm sure MJ has something to do with that but most of this is the hard work of Fred Whitfield and his staff as they have come up with creative ways to increase sponsorships and improved game presentation(a good product doesn't hurt either)

After getting swept because your team played like PUNKS, you might as well.

Orlando may have been light years better than the Hawks, but the Bobcats GAVE AWAY game after game.

No Carter and Howard for most of the series, and the Bobcats just chocked it away.

There is no affection for the name now. Had they made a run, it'd be pretty stupid to change the name. After how they performed, people don't want to think about their Playoff appearance, so there is no time better than now to change it.

The only thing tired is you asking that dumb question over and over again.

i actually think the center court bobcat logo is pretty tight. Most opposing team fans ive spoken to (mostly guys ages 19-23, i don't consider female opinons valuable on this subject) said they like that one better than the side panel logo. I would seriously doubt jordan would change the name considering the cost to do so...especially since we're not necessarily in good financial straights from a player/contract persepective.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Jordan's got the money to do it, but runs the risk of alienating the fanbase that's been there this whole time.

Some people won't bolt, some will, but any "fan" brought on board by a name change wasn't a fan to begin with, and are gonna go sit on some other bandwagon during the lean times anyway.

Sound like a fairweather fan there.

Beside, there will be more fans of the team if they come up with a better name than the Bobcats. Looking at several polls where the majority want a name change is a proof of that. Bobcats just sound like an elementary school mascot's name.

Even more fairweather are those that support a name change because of a poll they saw on the internet.

THERE WILL BE MORE FAIRWEATHER FANS. LIKE YOU. THAT CAN'T SPELL AND THINK GRAMMAR IS THAT OLD WOMAN YOU VISIT ON SUNDAYS IN THE NURSING HOME.

GTFO out of here with your broken engrish and polls. You're not a fan of the team anyway. You're just here to suck KT's balls. Go jack off Jake Delhomme.
