Charlotte Hornets anyone?

Seems the NBA took over the New Orleans Hornets this week. If the team moves the name "Hornets" could become available!

Anyone for turning back the clock and supporting the "CHARLOTTE HORNETS Purple & Teal?"

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - To get back on the winning track Charlotte's NBA team called on an old friend to be the new coach.

Would bringing back the old name produce the same magic?

JOAT - they said on the news last night that it would cost about $4M to do the branding switchover. I believe LB is getting paid about twice this amount just to leave.

I'm a Charlotte native, and feel that there are many fans in and around Charlotte who would get on the bandwagon if we went retro and brought the Hornets name back, but I doubt many current Bobcat fans would jump ship over the change. The team needs more fans and support, so whatever brings this about I am all for.

The team needs more talent and more cohesive players, not the band of misfits we have right now, but I don't know. Something feels right about bringing back our old identity. Too bad my Rex Chapman jersey no longer fits since I was 14 when I got it.

If the name came open, I think it would be stupid for them NOT to go back to the Hornets. Just the name Charlotte Bobcats has a stigma to it of being something that most citizens do not want, whereas Charlotte Hornets would/does have one of being a town favorite that used to be loved.
