tater Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 It appears the Hornets will officially be called the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets for at least this season.Anybody have any idea what will be done with their unis?I'm guessing HORNETS home and away.

timparry Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 How did the Kansas City/Omaha Kings do it? I'd love to find a uniforms-of-the-nba site... Is there one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBA Exec VP/Legal & Business Affairs Joel Litvin said the team, whose home jerseys said ?New Orleans? in previous seasons, will say ?Hornets? this season. Road jerseys will continue to say ?New Orleans.? A ?OKC? patch will be on both home and away jerseys to acknowledge Oklahoma City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 They'll be OKC Hornets full-time by 06-07 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky99MB Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 They'll be OKC Hornets full-time by 06-07 Is that confirmed as of yet??? would like to see a link to confirm this as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Conjecture. The fact that New Orleans will still be reeling economically + George Shinn = it's possible. Now if they draw exceptionally well, then you know they'll stay. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirearmofMutiny Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Conjecture. The fact that New Orleans will still be reeling economically + George Shinn = it's possible. Now if they draw exceptionally well, then you know they'll stay. I wouldn't put it past him to do it. If he does it, he'd even be a more hateable owner than Steinbrenner (no, he didn't move anyone, but he does control the biggest sports entity in the world), Norm Green, Art Modell, and Jim Irsay. And I'm sure Charlotte fans already feel that way about him. Speaking of which, they must be loving the plight of the Hornets (before the hurricane, of course)... I'm sure they're collectively saying something to the extent of "We warned you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maldonado Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I read an article where it says the Hornets will have a option to stay another year in Oklahoma City after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Why don't the Bobcats just move to STL and so the Hornets can go back to Charlotte where they belong. Then everyone is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Seems like the Hornets will most likely stay in OKC, or move to KC or Vegas. I don't like NO's chances with a smaller fan base and Shinn's greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Why don't the Bobcats just move to STL and so the Hornets can go back to Charlotte where they belong. Then everyone is happy. Because the Hornets blow.(Okay, they had the same record...but the 'Cats were an expansion team. Expansion teams are supposed to be worse than everyone. Therefore, we win.)And yes, fluff George Shinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohryan Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 KC is in the process of building a new arena and is trying desperately to land an NBA or NHL team. There has been talk about trying to get the Hornets to move here permanantly, but there have also been numerous articles/letters to the editor about not wanting a George Shinn owned team here due to his reputation.

Cujo Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Oklahoma City basketball. Bryce Drew's buzzer beater is all I came up with as far as a history of basketball in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Hornets blow.Yes they do. They have NOT been to the playoffs since 2000????That whole organization is a mess. Plus the Bobcats attendance last season was pretty good if I remember correctly. They should be good this season, not playoffs, but maybe a 10-20 win improvement with the additions of the rookies from the Tar HeelsSean May:Raymond Felton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went 6 or 7 games with the Heat before losing.Regardlesss, I would be surprised if the Hornets ever go back to New Orleans. That situation didn't work out too well. Maybe Shinn will take them barnstorming around the country next season. Some home games in KC, LV, SD, OKC, etc. Whichever city has the highest attendance gets the team.
