Bobcats Rebrand Update Thread (Real Charlotte Fans-Censorship Free Edition)

[Porn Shop Clerk]

We don't want the Bobcats name because of the business decisions and poor brand associated with it.

This is a broken brand being forced upon us. A Brand perpetuated by people who have made terrible decisions.

All of this applies equally to the Hornets brand, but it got whitewashed.

"Woe is me"

Shinn is the founder of the Hornets, he didnt take anything from you. He moved HIS team to Louisiana and you Hornets fans helped him pull it off. It was and still is an epic failure in Charlotte sports.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Not really sure how to debate with you anymore.

I do appreciate you being more respectable in the last few posts.

people don't want a franchise brand associated with bob johnson, but they want a franchise brand associated with a rapist junkie

At least the "rapist,junkie" listened to what the fans wanted since the original name was the Charlotte Spirit but was renamed Hornets after objection from local fans.

and then he signed LJ to the biggest contract the NBA had ever seen, sending player salaries skyrocketing, doing more damage to the NBA than any other owner ever

and then he traded Zo

keep whitewashing tom sawyer

And he was much more involved in the community than Johnson.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

by community you mean strippers right?

[HeatCheck]

Nope.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

more whitewashing.

"so what if he raped strippers and was strung out on dope and shipped off all of our best players and basically ruined the nba salary wise, he donated 0.001% of his income to charities!"

much better than robert johnson for sure

This doesn't really matter, because it's more of the brand we are all worried about and not that the Hornets were just "better". But for fun...

George Shinn sucked, Bob Johnson sucked, Michael Jordan is currently sucking.

Our brand is currently in the dumps.

If we cannot get the Hornets name back, then let's just change the brand to anything else. Why not give Jordan a chance to do something new. There are just way too many negative feelings with the Bobcats.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

but the feeling associated with the hornets are pure rainbows and sunshine

[ChrisB7605]

That's why i said we could just create an entirely new brand...

Bob Johnson gave millions to local YMCAs, reached out and built relationships with NASCAR and the Panthers that are still strong to this day. He was also active with the local african american community and their business leaders. Explain how Shinn did more for the community? Keep in mind he moved a local business that took tons of jobs with it. Bob never moved his business from here, in fact the main reason he sold it to MJ was so it would remain here.

why not do a comparison of the first 8 years of the bobcats vs the first 8 years of the hornets?

oh that wouldn't skew the numbers as much to your liking.
