Delux247 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 that Nola court looks great, but the baseline wordmarks should be white.Completely agree. I do love the logo selection & placement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Does anyone know why New Orleans is keeping this thing around? The Fleur de Bee and NOLA logos are everywhere (uni, court, website), while the primary is nowhere to be found.I don't know, but I actually think I like it.Here's a cleaned up version (and with my annoying color-correction):The new official "partial" logo is this one, minus the wordmarks.Don't get me wrong, I'm also a fan of the Hornets primary going back to their Charlotte days. I just don't see the point in keeping the logo around when it seems to show up nowhere and all you see is the "New Orleans-friendly" Fleur de Bee logo. Hell, the FDB logo even shows up on the Southwest Champions banner, if that speaks for anything.Yeah, the current primary is a nice logo, but not for the new direction the Hornets are taking. Yesterday would have been a nice time to retire it, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time before N.O. eventually pulls the plug on the little guy.

Delux247 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Why would they go through the hassle (and expense) of updating/streamlining their primary logo if they aren't planning on keeping it around for a while, albeit out of the spotlight? It seems to me there is an 'official' feeling associated with primary logos nowadays whereas the alternates have the popular/efficient/marketability feel.

Delux247 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Is it just me, or does it look like a silver drop-shadow is trimming the white pinstripes on the sideshot of Julian Wright's jersey & shorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thank god its not a two-tone wood court. enough is enough with those. This is the first new court in like 3 years to paint the paint. I love hugo, I think using the FDB too much is a mistake. its a very sweet alt but its not strong enough imo to be the primary. I don't think they should abandon hugo altogether. This seems like as good a time as any to ask something Ive been wondering forever. why didn't the charlotte hornets shorts have pinstripes???

TruColor Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 This seems like as good a time as any to ask something Ive been wondering forever. why didn't the charlotte hornets shorts have pinstripes???I think that was an Alexander Julian-design-thing. Along with the pleats in the shorts. He was being clever. And different.One thing that was told to me just recently, was that when the Hornets went to the two-accent-striping design in 1997-1998, the reason for having TWO stripes was to represent the Hornets' second decade in Charlotte.I kid you not.

JrSmith Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 If you look at the Authentic new Hornets jerseys for sale on their website, you can see that the text and numbers have little circles around them:.The product description mentions"dazzle inserts" which I assume refers to those circles. Are these like little plastic beads? Are they on the real jerseys? Reminds me of the Las Vegas all star game logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vercetti Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The Hornets new home jersey is really nice, but the road is too busy with the white on the side and the yellow numbers. It doesn't really match like the home jerseys do.The court is a work of art though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
