TruColor Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I found this column on charlotte.com - written by Doug Robarchek. I think it's funny (for whatever it's worth):**********Bobcats! We've got the slogansDOUG ROBARCHEKSo Bob Johnson chose "the Bobcats." OK, we're always ready to help. Our top 10 suggested advertising slogans:10. No Derrick Coleman -- not now, not ever.9. The only NBA team named after a Cub Scout badge.8. At least we're not the "Flight."7. Bigger and better Johnsons.6. Not as tough as "Timberwolves" or "Grizzlies," but if there's a team called "the Mice," we own 'em.5. The 'Cats -- Starting from scratch.4. Here kitty kitty OUCH!3. Friskies, schmiskies -- These cats eat Lakers.2. Bobcats -- They bite.1. Not owned by George and Ray.New coliseum nicknamesWhen the old new coliseum had the Hornets as its big tenant, it was known as "the Hive."So what do we call the new new coliseum, with Bob Johnson's Bobcats as its main residents? Probably something dull like the Den or the Lair. But anyway, here are our Top Six Coliseum Names6. The Litterbox.5. Johnsonville.4. The Hideous Mary Kay Building. (Oops -- no, wait. That's the name for that pink tower in South End.)3. The Bobcastle.2. The Cathouse.1. The Scratch Pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Actually, the Cathouse sounds pretty cool. There's a bar in Tucson called the Wildcat House. Not my scene, but a good name nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHockey9 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Reason why the "Cathouse" won't fly: It was the name of a brothel in a HBO documentary.Better name: The Cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
