Might have to add some of that carolina blue to the forum colors

Hell no. Purple and teal the way it needs to be.

watching that video just reminds me how bad-ass our uniforms used to be.

I agree! Why screw with something that worked so perfectly? Purple and Carolina blue just are not the same.

I don't really see any Carolina blue...

 

Maybe it's just me, but it still looks like a shade of teal.

 

It's definitely not Carolina blue.. if you think it is you need to check again...

 

 

 

That's two different colors.

Here's a nice quick article by Bonnell on the name change...

Yeah I agree it isn't Carolina blue. But it looks like the same colors the jazz used before they went old school a few years ago. If that's what they going fr then hell no. Why even bring it back if u just gonna dramatically Change it. Idk tho just hope we don't make too big of changes

It appears as if the Hornets have a fan in Tampa Bay Bucs defensive end Da'Quan Bowers

 

I'm pretty sure he meant to say "geeked" instead of "greeked", but he is a F*ckaneer... so you never know.

Greeked the bobcats will be back to its old name !! The Charlotte Hornets

It's too close to Carolina blue to me. They just need to go with teal. Update the logo if you have to, but don't change the colors.

Idk, some of the variations of the buzz city stuff has looked like it has carolina blue in it, but that one doesn't. Could just be the contrast and knowing that MJ opted for the carolina blue in the most recent color scheme for the Cats.

Upon further review of that particular ad, it appears that the darker color isn't the same purple we used as the Hornets though. Could be more of a royal blue or indigo shade... Idk, the colors just seem off.

[Wolfcop]

We shall see. Maybe those are not the colors that will eventually be used. Either way, GO HORNETS!

Also, a huge thank you to the Benson family for making the motion to have it unanimously approved.

 

I hate the Benson's when it comes to football, when it comes to basketball... they're alright.

I don't think I shared it here, but I actually wrote him an email last year after joining on with John Morgan's movement. I greatly appreciate his efforts in getting the name back where it belongs, as I'm sure he knew and felt it was best for both teams.

That being said, F the Saints.
