The Charlotte Hornets - Name Change effective 5-20-2014

my one complaint with the logos - the teal looks more like a light blue and the purple looks more like a dark blue. i really dont see much green in that teal.

the halftime reveal was awesome. extremely well done. the glowsticks were such a cool idea. who knew they had teal glowsticks. my glowstick was still going this morning when i woke up. that building got really loud in the 4th quarter. as loud as any game i have been to recently. makes it even more disappointing we lost.

honestly, i was expecting a little more info on the uniforms, honeybees, hugo mascot etc... i guess they will reveal some of that stuff on the other 4, buzz city nights.

during one of the timeouts they had the trampoline dunkers. rufus dressed up as grandmama and dunked. that was really cool.

ladycats look good in purple.

Uniforms won't be revealed till summer. LadyCats will be renamed honeybees.

Why not go back to the original Hornets logo?
We could not simply go back to the original Hornets logo. The NBA’s operating standards do not allow teams to adopt old logos as an everyday identity.

I don't understand this. Why wouldn't the NBA allow teams to go back to an old logo? Isn't that what the 76ers did a few years back?

We've gone from looking like a JUCO team to having unarguably the best colourway in the NBA with some of the best branding and logo's I've seen in a long time.

this would be a cool court (Bring Back the Buzz tweeted it)

I still wouldn't mind to see us go with the prototype that was on here some time back with the honeycombs on the court. That was sick

How marketable will we be?

This is going to have major impact on our relevence (obviously) but how far up the ladder will we go?

Will this make us a small market FA destination?

Will we have more Mercedes or McDonald's knocking down our door to join the party?

I dont like it, i think they should use the Partial Primary Logo for the center, replace the Buzz City logos with the Crown CH logos. and the secondary logo should be on the court somewhere.

I like this logo. Very happy that Charlotte returns to purple and blue, but I do not like the secondary logo.

Was at the game also, was very well done. The teal glowsticks, the purple light, the video, MJ, Dell, Muggsy and the gang. Hottest crowd I've ever seen at TWC, legit loud at the end of the game trying to will the Bobcats to win. If this is the beginning, I like where it's going.
