Guess What Time It Is? Time To Petition To Change The Bobcats Name Back To Hornets

isn't that team in New Orleans the Hornets?

yes it is...:confused:

I'll forgive because of Kate.

We had a discussion about this a few threads down. The Hornets name may be up for grabs since 1) Current Hornets may be moving to Seattle and will not take the name and 2) the name belongs to the NBA and in this case could be bought for something like $12mil. Chances of Jordan doing this right now are about .01%.

I'd like the old name back. It wasn't just a name, it actually fit the city. That's what the British named this area of people in the revolutionary war, because we fought like a bunch of hornets coming out of the nest. The CMPD cars have a hornets nest on the logo if I remember correctly. The name fits, better than a lot of names that other teams have. Not to mention the "Bob" in "Bobcats" irks people, but for me, I just want the name because it fits and has nostalgia and may actually bring more people to games and the team.

*rocks my Charlotte Hornets snapback into this thread*

Doubt it'll matter much, but I'll sign...

I would rather them just become the cougars. TBH the hornets brand died for me as soon as they started playing in another city.

The best floor design ever!

The movement is apparently picking up momentum. If you look up the facebook page, the group has already garnered two articles in the Observer and now WBTV is trying to get an interview with the guy behind it.

They're also trying to stir things up on New Orleans end... I really hope it can come to fruition. It seems like even if New Orleans keeps the franchise, there seems to be good support behind adopting a new name for their team.

Here it is... They got a "cover story" on WBTV...

Video even!

They can keep the team, i just want the name.

[Proudiddy]

Same here.

And that's the beauty of it. It feels like there is a huge possibility they will re-brand, especially now that the media has even approached the Bobcats about it. If New Orleans is getting the same, the momentum should take care of the rest and their new owner should oblige the request.

While I like that court the best, if we do go through a rebranding we should make a more modern version of this:
