There were a few pictures floating around a few months ago of what you're talking about. Wish I could remember what thread they came from.

There were a few pictures floating around a few months ago of what you're talking about. Wish I could remember what thread they came from.
There's two things that confuse me:
If we are going to make a switch in the coming week(s), why have all of these different meetings and events? Why not just one big event? Seems...
Tweet from Rick Bonnell last April when Silver was in town:

Interesting quote from league office. NBA VP Mike Bass: League continues "to work with the Charlotte Bobcats on exploring whether a name change" makes sense long-term.

DOPEEEEEE!!!!!!

I'd guess number switch, but seems possible. I do like the look. Those side panels have me intrigued to see the thing for real. Whites & alternates could be really sweet.
Gerald Henderson just posted this photo to instagram/twitter. Looks like the new uniform. You can see the new logo and new blue piping on the side. Appears to be pinstripe-free, too.

You see, this sort of stuff is not good for my overall sanity. I see new leaked Bobcats merch and logos and give up hope on a Hornets re-brand and then stuff like this gives me new hope and makes me...
I wonder what these colors would look like together if the orange were completely removed and a shade of purple was added as an accent for an updated take on the Hornets colors. I'm a believer that...
I guess it's semantics, but when you alter the primary colors of a logo, you've changed the logo itself. Further, if you think the average fan won't notice the change, why would you change it in the...
Good point. BUT, IMO, I would classify tweaking the primary colors, logo and uniform multiple times in less than 10 years bad marketing. To your point, you're never going to please everyone, so why...
I initially thought I liked the new look, now I'm certain I don't after seeing that primary logo leaked. Serious lack of direction on the marketing side, IMO.
Has any other pro sports team been...
I'm a fan of the Hornets name, colors and movement to bring them back too, but I don't see how you come to this conclusion. Name me another team that has done this in pro sports before. New Jersey...
If you go to FansEdge.com, nearly every piece of Bobcats clothing or hats is on clearance. I checked a few other teams' sites and it's not that way. This appears to be a new design that will be...
Yup...plus the odds are more likely that they'll get any pick 2, 3 or 4 more than it's likely they'll get pick #1. They're definitely selling all of these seats well below cost so they have to place...
I'm of the opinion that Silas was gone regardless of the outcome this year. He was a stopgap and they knew that when they fired Brown, started gutting the team and hired Silas. They needed someone...
This is ripped from the Gaston Gazette regarding Silver and MJ last night:
I think it's pretty evident that the league might try and strong-arm MJ and company on this. Obviously it's wait and...
I don't want to get my hopes up because I would hate to be let down, but this HAS to be a good sign and a sign there's something afoot here, right? Right?! Right?!?!
*HEAD EXPLODES*
Bottom line with Larry Brown is that he absolutely guts the core of every team he's coached in recent memory. Brown is a great X's and O's guy, but he always has to have "his guys"...guys that "play...
To your point, and I think it's a fair one, neither brand is entirely strong outside of Charlotte except for the recent fashion resurgence of the Hornets colors/logo. If a re-brand is even being...
