Big Africa Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Yes, IMO the Yellow jersey sucks and they need to replace it. The best idea would be to replace it with the dark blue colour on their logo and instead of having "NEW ORLEANS" on the front have "HORNETS" in the teal colour. As a throwback idea I thought of bringing back the pinstripes they used to have as the Charlotte Hornets and putting their logo on the front or something. Just my thoughts, any other ideas?

J23P Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 yeah, somehow persuade jazz owner larry miller to sell the "jazz" name so it can go back to it's rightful place in nawlins. the utah could pick up the "hornets" name or could go in a different direction. i agree, the yellow uni's are dreadful!

Gothamite Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I like the yellow uniforms.I would agree that the Beehive State should adopt the nickname "Hornets." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be overy picky (but it IS my nature, ya know), but the darker color in the Hornets' color scheme is Purple:It wouldn't be the first time the Hornets have had a Purple alternate; they had one years ago as well...

quantum Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I really don't mind the yellow uniform, but they really should go with purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 i say bring back the pinstripes, they haven't looked like themselves since the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilaLogos Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 same. I was watching some slam dunk highlights and I think those Larry Johnson era unis would be pretty nice. That was also the high point of the franchise (Mourning, Bogues, LJ), so maybe they should go back 2 that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I also believe that the original Charlotte Hornet uniforms were the only b-ball uni's to feature pleated shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Don't know why, but the Hornets' yellow jerseys don't bother me.... maybe it feels more like New Orleans than teal does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcats Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I'm definitely in the minority here, but I really like that yellow jersey. When I think of hornets it reminds me of bees and that's why the yellow works for me. Teal and purple seems like silly colors for a hornet.IMO purple is overused in men's sports. It's such a feminine color and overused. It needs to be balanced with a manlier color like black. I like Northwestern's jerseys.Just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Purple hasn't hurt the image of the Lakers or Vikings, and both have it "balanced" with yellow/gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcats Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I agree with Paul Lukas of uniwatch. It's not a masculine color. I don't think it works for the Hornets, Ducks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
