Xist2inspire Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I figured this would be the best place to mention this, but it looks like the Hornets are in the process of forming a D-League team: http://www.nba.com/hornets/hornets-sports-entertainment-announces-intent-launch-owned-and-operated-nba-d-league-teamTheir current options are seven cities scattered across the Carolinas - Asheville, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Raleigh, Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville. The ones I bolded are worth mentioning as they have held previous D-League franchises (the Altitude, Patriots, Lowgators, and Groove), but there hasn't been a team in the Carolinas since the Patriots folded at the end of the 05/06 season. I can easily see them going with Raleigh or Greensboro due to their size, but teams have been put in smaller markets over larger ones before.Interesting. I'd like to see them resurrect the Carolina Cougars name, maybe even use design elements from the Bobcats to tie everything together. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy.

I'm 90% sure they will use Hornet imagery, or will shoehorn something into an identity. If I would put my money on any city, it would either be Columbia or Greenville, seeing that the Hornets brand needs to grow a bit more in SC, kinda unifying the whole "Carolina's Team" thing they had with Hornets 1.0. I would like to see it in Greensboro, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if it doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see it in Greensboro, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if it doesn't happen. I wouldn't mind something using hornet imagery (I doubt they'd bring back the Sting moniker but maybe something like the Charleston Swarm or something else could work). Regardless, I don't see any of the old nicknames returning, with the Patriots being the best option (even then I would doubt it as a) Fayetteville would probably be one of the lower priority options and it sounds like something a Sixers affiliate would use). I do agree in that having the team in South Carolina would help with the Carolina mentality, but given Charlotte's position relative to SC I wouldn't be surprised if they went with a city in the upper regions of North Carolina. I'm also curious if they'll have the same teal and purple color scheme as their parent club; I think that the odds are they will if they go with a hornet-related nickname.On a side note..every day we get closer to the NBA draft is a day closer to 76ers new logos!Are they getting new logos as well? I knew that new uniforms were on the way, but I wasn't aware of there being new logos as well. Drink water and try to have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I;m pretty sure the 76ers uniforms are the only thing changing, no new logo.....unless they change their primary to be a roundel instead of that rectangle box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Stoked to see these new Bucks unis. Should be a nice change from the ongoing bland, generic designs around the NBA. The Bucks seem like a team that's been stuck in the past, but sort of in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C's Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think we can all agree that the NBA has the worst collective set of identities out of all the four major sports leagues in America.No, right now I'd say the NFL is worse. Although the NBA could snatch it back if this year's rebrands end up being horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thank goodness. This is terrible: Hopefully the "re-designed logos" include a new primary where they just throw an arching "Philadelphia" over or under this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kutztown Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Found it interesting that the style sheet lists the type font. Not sure if this means it will be used on the jerseys or not, but I did notice that there is a resemblence between the numbers in that font vs. the numbers on the Sixers jersey banners at their workout facility. Not an exact match, but close. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsNJhM3CMAAjxEl.jpg:largehttp://fontsov.com/data/font_face/Bookman_ITC_Demi_BT-77.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Very nice. It keeps with the spirit of the classic logo and gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammar Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The logo being shown against a navy background had me thinking about a navy alternate... So they'll use white primary,red secondary and two blue alts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
