coolio, any chance you could make some sweet hornets sigs for the board?

I'll actually go the other way and stay with my Bobcats signature for a while as I will do on reddit where they let you have a Bobcats flair next to your username. Yep, I want to be seen as an old head of the supporting fans. Moreover, me and Sachmo will see Gana as our inspiration for years to come.

I plan on doing the same. I waited eternity for us to make the playoffs. Not letting it go anytime soon.

So good. I'm so impressed with the job they are doing. Puts the Pelicans rebrand to shame.

It's been leaked allegedly that Hornets will be on both the home and away jerseys, the aways will be purple, the homes, whites, and that light blue pinstripes will be on one/both.

I thought there was some stipulation in the arena deal that the team had to have "Charlotte" on one of their main jerseys...

Great point! I think you're right. I'm going to do so,e digging and see if I can find something.

I wonder if one of those are alternates instead of home/away, would make more sense than not having Charlotte displayed at all.

I am ready to see Hugo, hopefully they didn't modernize him (well at least maybe not too much.)

apparently bbref has already connected the charlotte hornets 1988-2002 history with the charlotte bobcats/hornets history 2004 - present

The Bobcats, sorry Hornets, 20 playoff wins added in May 2014 is the best playoff month ever in NBA history. http://ow.ly/xrpyT

IOW, we've begrudgingly transferred the old Charlotte Hornets history to the new Charlotte Hornets. #whitewashing #donquixote

I totally understand their resistance to do so. I'm happy that we got the old Hornets history back but this seems like another franchise. It doesn't seem like Muggsy Bogues's highest assist games belong in the same list as Brevin Knight's.

Don't be haters Basketball Reference!

Damn, that is some good looking wood.

And yes that is definitely what she said.

note that teal and purple (almost checkerboard pattern) around the edge. might that be a preview of something we see on the main floor?

A Honey Comb comeback would be awesome to see. Regardless I am in love with our new logo. I think I'm going to pay another visit to the team store to line MJ's pockets a little more.

I really like the design of the word "HORNETS".

It looks awesome.

I like! I do hope the main shield logo is used for the real court though, just for symmetric reasons.
