That is pretty sweet Conrad.

How about these for kicks:

I Love both of them damn your good

On the NOLA one, I'd probably move the NBA logo over to the right side, a la the Heat, with the way the 'NOLA' goes up to the left. And although this one kicks some major booty, I wonder how it would look with white lettering/numerals with either yellow-teal outline, or teal-yellow outline. Just a thought.

how come nobody has a problem with the fact that the trumpet logo (while looks good on its own) has NOTHING to do with the name hornets?

C'mon man. Its right there in front of you. New Orleans HORNets

Does this solve the issue:

Horn + Net = Hornet(s)

The hornets ones are perfect!

That would be a better color to take out than yellow again, and it's a homage to thier Charlotte hornets alternates back in '94.

McCall, that is exactly how the away should look. Your concept is perfect, the wordmark and side panels look great. Now with the real jersey, the yellow wordmark looks horrible and white side panels dont mesh with the rest of the jersey.

Oooo, I like those new jerseys, but they remind me too much of the old Charlotte ones, esp. the home uni. At least before, w/ the yellow alternates and overall basic design template, I'd think of the New Orleans Hornets when I saw those jerseys. Now, the first thing that pops into my mind is the CHARLOTTE Hornets. They're still good though, it's just my own memories and prior associations getting in the way.

They're new colors are similar to the Los Angeles Sparks, except with more emphasis on the 'creole blue'.

Pantone, er..ColorWerx, could you do a side by side comparison of the new Hornets and LA Sparks colors?

The unis are almost a nod to the old Charlotte days with the pinstripes, but remember, the Charlotte Hornets never had gold as a part of their color scheme. Also, no team will ever look as good in pinstripes as did the previous Indiana Pacers. The old Bulls black pinstriped alt was sweet too.

I think the backs of jerseys are starting to look too busy with butt & neck logos, but it seems to be the trend nowadays: Hawks, Nuggets (except alternate), T'Wolves, Hornets, Raptors, & Wizards' alternate. One or the other is fine in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of having the butt logo. I think having a neck logo is enough.

I can't stand the butt logos. I think teams look best keeping them to the shorts, and then either the front or back collar.

...Oh, and by the way; those homes are far too "Charlotte Hornets". I expected much more purple and gold. And the roads...the color distribution is horrific. Why all that white, when you've got such great colors to work with? Also, the pinstripes look so incredibly un-New Orleans. Why did they look so right in Conrad's concept?

this is from bee mail. I think these are the official unis and the pictures weve seen closeups are replicas,- notice the diffreence in necks. So a real good official picture of the set is yet to be seen

the nuggets called. they want...

well, you know where this ones going

They want Chris Paul?

The only thing that bugs me (no pun intended) about the uniforms is the neckline at the back.

I saw, I came, I left.

At first glance, definite upgrade, but the more I look at it, the less I like it. I dont know, it just doesnt seem like it all meshes together, not so much on the home uni, but the with the away.... it just doesnt look right

I also strongly agree with some of the earlier statements about it being too busy, that backside has got too much going on.

I concur... I still think the Timberwolves one is awesome, but this one is starting to wear off on me... the new orleans font on the homes is kinda lame (shoulda been hornets) and the aways are just a mess... I think I have to see them in game action

ANY NEWS ON WHEN THE OKLAHOMA CITY "WE WILL NEVER PICK A NAME AND PLAY AS THE GENERIC ADIDAS LOGO" NBA TEAM PLANS TO UNVEIL ANYTHING ABOUT THEM SELVES? OR WAS IT ALL A JOKE, AND THEY'RE MOVING BACK TO SEATTLE!...

High Quality Entertainment for the masses.
