Just add the words Charlotte Hornets somewhere on it to satisfy the NBA’s dumb “every Primary Logo must have Team Name” rule and done. Not quite the same, the original Hornets logo had a basketball and also wasn't wearing Air Jordans. Something like this is what I'd want: https://imgur.com/wVEbo8f (I can never seem to figure out how to embed images, the link always turns red for me.) I just generally don't like that logo, it doesn't have the charm of the original. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a red basketball with white seams and a blue border(and then a smaller chrome border). None of it screams “Detroit” or “Pistons”. They’re only using it because of its championship success in the late 80s. The logo was a product of 70s “let’s use the team name and city name in a basketball” obviousness. To be fair, if you didn’t slap on the team name, the Knicks, Lakers, Nets and Rockets logos pictures here would be pretty worthless as well.

I think a simple recoloring of the last New Orleans logo would be perfect. It has the classic charm while retaining sharp lines and feeling like a modern logo. Obviously, the names would need to be changed, but it's literally exactly what I want in a Hornets logo. Hugo has the ability to stand the test of time, and the fans love the classic stuff. I honestly feel that if the team had stayed, that's what we'd have. 6 minutes ago, CaliforniaGlowin said: Ugh, no cartoon logos, please. I can see it in the 90's but not now. I like the latest one. But it's what the fans want. The new one is fine for an expansion team, but the Hornets have history, and just like the Pistons, Knicks, or Lakers, we have a right to utilize that history, even if it doesn't make perfect sense design-wise. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockets, Jazz, Sonics, Celtics, Lakers,Hawks, Suns, Bucks, Bulls, etc. Those stayed at least 20+ years. That’s amazing. Today we change logos twice a decade it feels like or tweak it often.

All 3 of those teams took turns in the Western Conference's Midwest Division (one season apiece from 1988-89 to 1990-91). And they actually had western conference type schedules too. The T-Wolves were exempt from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
