Charlotte Hornets anyone?

It's gonna happen. I agree with you though, I should keep my mouth shut. It's just hard being a relatively long time poster in this forum to not expect KT to come in and say something ridiculous. sorry.

You shouldnt keep your mouth shut, you should keep posting and let all the black folks on this board and the ones I steer here know how you really feel. Anything thats associated with black people, we have to get past right? Changing our name so it doesnt sound too black is perfectly normal to a young never worked hard for anything idiot such as yourself. You sound like a klansman trying to reach his white brothers when you posted that. You ARE not a Bobcats fan saying stuff like that.

Oh yeah, before anyone jumps on me, Appstatepanther made it a race issue. He brought it up first. Appstatepanther wants to "whitewash" the Bobcats so he can feel good about cheering for them. Maybe we can ask the Panthers to "whitewash" their QB stable so we can all feel good about cheering for them too.

To get back on track....I would take the Hornets name!!! However, wouldn't it be cool to take keep one color from the Cats, and bring back the teal from the Hornets? How would Orange and Teal look? Someone want to pimp out some photoshop of some Hybrid colors???

Man you really gotta get that chip off your shoulder. Whitey isn't out to get you.

Somehow I doubt "name change/color scheme change" counts against the salary cap

No but that 4 mil has to be budgeted somewhere and is comes directly off the bottom line. If that 4 mil could be better spent on coaches and players then I'm for leaving the name as it is. but if I had a choice and cost wasn't a factor I would change it back to the Hornets because of the historical significance (Revolutionary War) of the name.

But to be honest, I don't care what you call them if they put a watchable product on the court.

Hornets name sucked and the colors sucked. The only people that want that poo brought back are 30 year old unmarried white guys that wouldn't follow the team anyway.

Not just yes but Hell yes! All of the HORNETS merchandise with the Jumpman logo would easily pay the branding switchover cost!

And you know that for a fact? I'm not so sure. I don't think a name change would recapture what "magic" the Hornets had when they were here. That ship has long since sailed. I think the name should be ours for historical significance only. Just like I think the Lakers name should be in Minn, the Jazz name should be in NO and the Grizzlies name should have stayed in Vancouver.

That being said i don't give a rat's ass what we are called as long as we are winning.

speak for yourself. purple and teal with that hornet logo (pre new orleans) was tight. the teal started a trend for multiple teams and leagues. after the hornet debuted the pistons had thier teal era, the jaguars came in the league with treal, the san jose sharks became teal dominated and others.

I'm 33, married and would follow the team regardless of colors.

It's just not an important issue to me, plus I like the Cat theme here in Charlotte.

Yeah teal is really tight if you've got a ***** eye.
