Mings Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 What would the present NO Hornets rebrand to, then? Maybe they can do a swap with Utah and get the Jazz name back, then Utah could swap with Memphis and become the Grizzlies, they could swap with Minnesota to get the Wolves name, and then Minnesota and L.A. could finally swap between Lakers and Wolves.Something like this needs to happen in the NFL with Arizona, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Baltimore and the new Los Angeles franchise. Cardinals to STL. Rams to LA. Colts to Baltimore. Indy and Arizona get new identities. I'd be OK with Indy and Baltimore staying the way it is since Baltimore has a good identity.Things were sure better in 19-dickety-two, I tell you what.

CrazyAnna Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I have no problem with the Bobcats taking the Hornets name after NO has dropped it. It would remove the worst identity in basketball and a terrible color scheme, and replace it with a great color scheme and logo. However, I don't think there should be any name swaps. THAT is taking it way too far.This. A million times this. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Never seen any Charlotte Hornets throwback merch for sale ANYWHERE down here, nor any New Orleans Jazz stuff, etiher. But ABA Buccaneers stuff?-- Oh yeah, especially since the Hornets wore those throwbacks. At the arena's team store, sportsgear stores, etc.We must be shopping at different places. I see a good amount of Charlotte Hornets gear (mainly hats) from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. Not as much Jazz stuff but I see a little of it every now and then.

Eye Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The Jazz and White Sox should switch because Chicago has Jazz music and Utahns wear White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakfu Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Face it - it's no longer just an overdone message board ideation. It's a real plausible thing - New Orleans is planning to rebrand; recycling of names is being considered (Hornets.)As a played out as it seems here - the mainstream will justifiably speculate about the "Jazz" going back to N.O.

winters in buffalo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 There's NO WAY that the Jazz name will return to New Orleans. That team's name and history belong to the Cleveland Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
