It would never fly as an NBA team name wait nvm You know, I've said that the Charlotte Bobcats should have remained the Charlotte Bobcats, only in teal and purple with pinstripes and jersey scripts set in Rockwell Bold Condensed. People told me it was a bad idea, but come to think of it, that's basically what the Washington Wizards are doing by being the Bullets in everything but name. Sigh. I hate the Wizards. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up a huge Hornets fan. I didn't realize the Hornets' font was Rockwell until now. You've just made my day week month?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 If it's not Rockwell Bold Condensed on the old jerseys, it is very, very close. Also, plain old Rockwell is just a poor man's Lubalin Graph. Upgrade! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, plain old Rockwell is just a poor man's Lubalin Graph. Upgrade! Went with something that would be a standard font on most computers, or at least newer versions of Windows. Rockwell won out over Franklin Gothic Demi. It used to irk me when professors always used Arial or Calibri or whatever - nothing wrong with using those for writing papers, but I liked a little variety in class. Still, this excites me way, way more than it should. I've been unconsciously using the Hornets font for my slides for the past year. Yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 People who print in Verdana should have their knuckles rapped. It's only for screens! Franklin Gothic isn't bad. It's nice and clear. Trade Gothic is even better. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 No you're better off. I think I need counseling after reading it. Definitely not going to sleep tonight. First time in 12 years I had to use the report button.

A big reason why IKEA switched from Futura to Verdana — cost. Every computer has Verdana installed as one of the default fonts. You don't have to pay money (Futura) for a font that comes with every computer. So you can use the same font on-screen and in print.

Am I the only one who thinks that the designers swapped some colors here and there and tried to present it to Bullets brass? After all, O'Grady did end up designing the Wizards set. Seriously, imagine Georghe Muresan rocking that Dragons jersey. Hell, Jordan could've maybe even worn them. What kinda sorcery would that be? http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes?
