bulldogbarks55 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The purple brings back memories of the Jazz. But be careful. The NBA is so anal that the Jazz might sue the Hornets for infringement on their "identity." Aside from that this is a great concept. They actually look like basketball uniforms.

ColeJ Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 i personally completely agree with the omission of teal... regardless of the fact that the sharks and jags are rivals of my stars and titans, i've always hated that color... even when i was a little kid, before any of those teams existed.however, teal almost works for the hornets... even as i support the idea of killing teal, i think this recolor falls short.it's a good idea, but i think the blue and purple colors are way too similar... too dark.. it loses it's detail (although with a logo like that, any loss of detail may be considered a blessing in disguise )maybe try reworking the colors a little to put a little bit more difference between the shades of purple and blue, and you might be on to something.

Big Africa Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think they should keep the teal road uniform and have a dark blue alternate instead of the awful yellow. They should keep the teal colour in their logo along with the white. I dont like the purple uni either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashcleaner Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I have to admit that I have a certain spot in my heart for teal as a colour, but these unis are looking pretty damned sweet as is. I'd actually go so far as to say these are one of the best redesigns I've seen on the board.The only problem I can see is with the pin-striped alternate. The Hornets logo on the shorts is a bit hard to see as it blends in with the darker purple a bit too easily. You can make out the gold and whatnot, but the hornet's body itself is a little hard to pick out. Other then that, it's looking very nice. Thanks go to Eddie010 for the Signature and Avatar.

mustangdmg Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I don't know about the name but I like the colors. I'm a strong believer in mascots and colors identifying a location or region. The colors you did represent the Mardi Gras of New Orleans. Great concept. The Arizona High School Helmet Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFSwimCoach Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I like the purple ones, but I do not like the pinstripes on the purple. As for the others, they're nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Paint Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The colors you did represent the Mardi Gras of New Orleans. Great concept. No, the yellow doesn't come anwhere close to matching the oceans of piss and urine that run up and down Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korkie Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The purple and gold have an LSU type feel to it also, which would fit in with Louisiana as a whole as well.

Puckguy14 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ack? Death to teal? The Hornets are a few that make the teal/aqua color work, along with the Dolphins, and my beloved Sharks. Good start on the uniforms, but they remind me of the Lakers right away with the look. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statebully Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 i like the colors a lot, but i would keep the current wordmark that they use. i think its cool. great job on the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Reallt nice. it's kinda like Utah and L.A. Lakers put together. Really good! I first thought this was just too similar to the Lakers...a white, yellow, and purple jersey set. Other than that, the concept and designs are great, and I hate the current Hornet's teal, so thank you for getting rid of it! Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

VitaminD Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If you really have to do pinstripes on the road set, maybe yellow pinstripes? The Pacers look like they're changing their unis for '05-'06, so it would be up for grabs. I don't like pinstripes on basketball jerseys, but it's your design. The blue doesn't stand out at all from the purple.You could also go full Mardi Gras and add green, like almost everyone else who's tried to redo the Saints or Hornets. But your blue is nice. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not piss *and* urine!As for the designs, I like the home and away, but the blue-on-purple pinstripes aren't working for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
