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

[Carl Spackler]

Without any question whatsoever, the Panthers run Charlotte. The Bobcats run Charlotte as much as the homeless do. They're also equally as economically sound.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

yeah the panthers are definitely more trailer park than homeless

[Carl Spackler]

Bet it wouldn't take the Panthers 66+ games to win 8.

Just watched a nice segment on joe Maddon during real sports on hbo. Rays baseball is a nice example of how rebranding could energize/excite a dead franchise.

Bobcats are what Charlotte Hornet fans wish they were. They want to be us. This thread proves it. You guys follow us. 2 years ago all of you has Bobcat avatars and sigs. Now you're hopping on this fad. Truth is, you failed your Hornets ancestors. We run Charlotte now and there's nothing you can do about it. Go Bobcats!

Not sure where your getting all of this. I've pointed out to u time and time again that the city and people of this area don't care about the bobcats. We've provided substantial evidence both qualitative and quantitative to back are arguments and present a rational debate.

You, on the other hand, are obviously a very ignorant uneducated fool with racial issues.

At first I was all into the hornets name change but now Im more of changing colors/design. Go to more black uniforms and get rid of orange.

I'm still very much Pro Hornets- but, at the very least this movement proves....something needs to be done.

We'll never know. The year Clausen was the starter, we went 2-14. That was a horrible year for us, and the Panthers offense(football wise) was just as bad as the Bobcats offense(basketball wise) is this season. If football would've had a 66 or 82 game system, I'm pretty sure the Panthers would've been just as bad as this years Cats team

I never said forget. Hornets are a part of our history. But they are just that history. Romanticizing the past doesnt help us today. And that franchise has moved on. It seems the Hornets and their fans worldwide prefer the tourism and swamps of NO to the banks and churches of Charlotte. The Hornets still dont want to be here. You love them a lot more than they love you. Theyre never coming back.

Seriously? Coming from a guy stuck in 19th century Mississippi racism?

I don't think we the fans of the bobcats are too supportive. Rightfully so. They havebt been much. They don't have any support. Nobody cares. Mainly because our heart and soul got ripped out of us when the left. Id love to have out name back

[King Taharqa]

Im laughin at you "woe is me" Hornets fans. The world is laughin at you. New Orleans is laughin at you. You have no control over the situation. You're like small children who can only cry and whine to Daddy Jordan. Cry and whine to real Bobcat fans who got more heart and passion for the game than you. Like I said, you guys need help. Being an obsessed fan of a team that dont exist isnt healthy.

By the way, we're still called the Bobcats, and your Hornets still call the French Quarters home. All this so John Morgan and gang can get their 15 minutes of fame locally.

A really great guy/excellent filmmaker named Rusty Sheridan at Yellow Arrow Film got in touch with me a couple months back about creating a little documentary of this whole thing, and this weekend he put together an interview that Muggsy gave a few weeks back in support of the Cause. It'll get your blood pumping; check it out!

Off camera, Muggsy couldn't have been more gracious and cool about what we're trying to do; he seemed genuinely pumped up about the whole thing. It was a really exciting day that only got better after seeing Rusty's work...hope y'all dig it!

Very good chance of that, TD! He's working in a similar capacity @ the Art Institute now...I'll ask him the next time we talk!
