I think guys like Muggsy and Dell would love to get the history records back now that its official with the Hornets coming back. I have a feeling that New Orleans will let go of the stats and records. Just seems like they are doing whatever to start fresh there.

I really don't like the light blue. I wish they would do away with that.

A combination of purple and black would be nice though.

Yeah I hate Carolina blue. Ugliest color in m opinion and we all knew that would happen cause of Jordan. but at least we have teal and purple.

I don't understand what's the fuss about the Carolina blue being one of the secondary colors. The Charlotte Hornets will be playing in the Carolinas and the owner of the team do bleed Carolina blue. It's a nice touch.

you guys know that light blue was one of the original colors, right?

light blue was one of the pin striples (along with purple and green)

MJ did not add light blue to the hornets color scheme.

original hornets color scheme was:

primary: teal and purple; secondary: light blue, green and white.

MJ has replaced secondary colors green and white with black and grey... so it seems.

Wait, does this mean that Hugo won't be dribbling a basketball in the logo if there's no orange?

well you make carolina blue by mixing teal and blue so it makes sense and it was an original color, the jersey needs some white tho i think

I wonder if they'll have a black alternative jersey. That'll be dope

I also wonder what color will the home jerseys be if white isn't in the equation. I hope not grey

my guesses to what the colors will be used for

Black-bordering
Blue-pinstripes
Purple-primary away color
Teal-primary home color
Gray-lettering

Most definitely alternate black uniforms would be hot. Black jerseys with purple and teal used as the accent colors.

Arguably, MJ's best decision as an owner thus far.
