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

[King Taharqa]

Against, but it doesnt matter anyway. The Hornets are still in New Orleans and aren't changing their name.

KT you game a solid argument on why rebranding the panthers to the hornets made sense. Wouldn't the same apply to the bobcats?

[4Corners]

King read what silver said bro. He said he was open to discussion because a rebrand could benefit both franchises. The bobcats haven't commented on it b/c it's illegal to do so.

Even if u won't admit it, this movement now has the attention of the nba at the highest part. This is great!

Pretty embarrassing for the bobcats. So much bullshit and negativity is associated with the bobcats that a rebrand could be the only thing that saves the team.

GO CHARLOTTE HORNETS

Bring back the buzz baby!

[King Taharqa]

You told me it sucked, as did everybody in the Panthers forum. You guys were right actually. I was just proving a point. The owner of the Panthers isnt black so no one's gonna ask him to gentrify his business or tell his fans they mean nothing like hicks have been comin on this board telling us.

[CatofWar]

Honestly, I could care less. I'm a rocket fan. But I do think it would benefit the team and the city immensely.

He said "no comment". Wake me when New Orleans changes their name. Even if they started today it would take 2 years before NOLA completed the process, then another 2 years for the Bobs if they could get the rights to the name. So you're looking at 4 years at the earliest. In 4 years we'll be a playoff team, and your 15 minute "buzz" will be a memory.

Richardson would be a fool to change the Panthers to a lame Hornets name.

Of course I told you it sucked. I was trolling and I like the panther name. For not being a bobcats fan I can have an unbiased view point. I do think it would benefit the franchise and the team. I know racism is real but I do not think that's the case here. It's irrelevant if the owner is black. He's fuging Michael Jordan dude. Anyone who looks at him sees air Jordan, the greatest to ever play the game. Better than bird. Better than any of the best white players to play the game.

Who said no comment? If you think it's silver than u are mistaken.

[King Taharqa]

In 4 years you'll be on to something else. This is just a faze.

This seems a little bit like a comment. Actually, a few comments:

""Then Silver was asked about the New Orleans Hornets possibly giving up their nickname, and the chances the Bobcats might acquire “Hornets” in the future.

“I think it’s something we’ll clearly look at. Even while I’m here tonight, I’m sure I’ll end up talking to Fred (Whitfield, team president) and (owner) Michael (Jordan) about their feelings on that.”

New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, who is buying the Hornets, has said he wants a new nickname for the franchise.

“Tom Benson doesn’t own the franchise yet, but if that’s something he’s interested in doing, we’ll talk to him about it,” Silver said. “It may be a win for both franchises.”"

Like Jesse said...

"Keep hope alive!!!"

He said just enough to keep you guys still spending money on us. Kinda like Jordan did when he left it open when he bought the team. Smart business.

I'm surprised KT can type because he sure as hell can't read very well.

KT, in high school (assuming you graduated, and I would actually be surprised if you did based on statistics) did you have your classes in the back of the library with all the other "special" children?
