Bobcats history as it stands right now.

I wouldn't put it past MJ, Benson and Silver to put it right.

There are many rumors that Charlotte Hornets goin' to wear sleeved uniforms in 14-15. I hate this sleeved uniforms, I think the sleeve are pretty, but it makes difficult to shot. I hope Walker & Jefferson will continue to wear un-sleeved uniform next year.

rumors from where? link?

also, i believe that jersey in your picture is only a mock, not affiliated with the actual team.

give the bbtb guys credit for always being on top of any news regarding uniforms. they claim its not real, only a concept design.

bonnell mentioned on twitter tonight that the buzz surrounding the playoffs and name change could land our games on a new radio channel next year. that would be great for the team because anything is an upgrade to 610's god awful signal.

This is the best period of Bobcats existence imo.

The Charlotte franchise is improving basically by the day, in every regard (aside from the new ticket pricing).

I believe the new sponsorships with Mercedes and McDonalds are overlooked achievements, and will make it easier to market the Charlotte brand as dare I say.. legitimate.

you guys that dont live in charlotte would laugh (or cry) if you knew how pathetic the radio signal was for the bobcats games. on a good day, you can the signal about 5 miles outside of town. on a normal day, i get a high pitched buzz on the station in the mornings and the signal disappears once the sun goes down. on a bad day, i can be riding about a mile from the station and still barely hear the station.

I hope when/if MJ decides to rename the arena he doesn't pull a New Orleans and call it "Smoothie King Center" or anything similar to it.... that is the dumbest arena name ever and what makes it worse it the teams name is Pelicans....just cant take it seriously "Welcome to the Smoothie King Center home of YOUR NEW ORLEANS PELICANS"
