mightynine Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i hate how the suns have an alternate that has "PHX."Yeah, but that's just an airport designation.NOLA seems a more legitimate abbreviation, incorporating the initials of the city and the 2-digit state marker.NOLA is used throughout the city (heck, my friends even named their dog NOLA) - besides, our airport designation (MSY) wouldn't work to well on a jersey. :-)If they had a NOLA jersey, that stuff would sell out quick. No doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 As much as I love the F-D-B, I hope Hugo isn't gotten rid of permanently. He's the reason I got into both sports and design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the reason I got into both sports and design...I would imagine he's still be around as mascot, maybe also an an alternate mark. It's not exactly easy to make a walking fleur-de-bee, y'know.

andrewharrington Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The new style supposedly helps with the sweatingI'll bet it does, just like Adidas/Reebok's NHL EDGE jerseys "helped with the sweating" and helped pour it right into players' gloves and skates. Now, it'll just drip and puddle all over the court. NBA teams, get ready to hire more courtside towel and mop boys, because the prospect of 10 Patrick Ewings running up and down the hardwood is looming.Is there a suddenly huge problem with sweat on the court in college basketball?

wingsfan85 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 As much as I would hate to see Hugo go just because I was a huge Charlotte Hornets fan growing up in the early 90's, seeing him replaced with the FDB would ease the pain. That would be one of the best logos in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one can be rename FleurHugo is the official mascot, almost an EXACT replica of the hornet present in the logo since the team's inception: "Super Hugo" is an occasional guest for halftime/end of quarter exhibitions and the like, and is dressed as more of a super-hero. He's the one who flew through the never-ending infamous hoop of flame:Up to last year, both were played by the same guy: Michale Zerillo. Here is a great interview about his work:Michael Zerrilo interviewThe general move, I think, will be to switch to the "fleur-de-bee" (bracketed by "New Orleans Hornets" in a new font)to be used as the main logo on merchandise, stationery and whatnot while keeping Hugo as the actual game-time and promotional costumed mascot. This will work the best. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reebok/Adidas has proven itself less intelligent in material choices recently.

CAVALIER Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I just want them to keep the gold involved. It's a good link to the city/state and is vibrant with the other colors. I love the new font and FDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRYWHIT Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Am I the only one here who isn't impressed by the FDB logo?I don't understand the fawning over that thing.Yes.... yes you are.I dont want to put words in people's mouths... but I think the look represents a modern regionalization on a symbol that is familiar in sports because of the saints and morphs it to the point that it works for the hornets. Basically it just looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Am I the only one here who isn't impressed by the FDB logo?I don't understand the fawning over that thing.For me it is not the logo itself that impresses me, it is more about the context. A redesign nowadays in the NBA means changing your colors and updating your old logo accordingly. See: Hawks, Nuggets, Bucks, Raptors, Jazz. It is the same reason I think people liked the new Hawks' secondary, and why everyone seems to be feeling the Raptors' claw. With the promise of a complete redesign coming, including new uniforms, type, colors, and logos, we are all going to jump on anything that doesn't scream "1990's". While this isn't a bad logo, it doesn't deserve all the compliments it has been receiving. I think it is all about comparison...liver and onions looks great when your other choice is a dead dog.hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival79 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Am I the only one here who isn't impressed by the FDB logo?I don't understand the fawning over that thing.I'll just say that it's certainly not the bee-all and end-all of logo design.

I also really like this logo, and it's not just because the old Hornets logo is an outdated mess. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
