jgsmith725 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I decided to make it simple for MJ. I kept the current script of the Bobcats b/c i think it works well with the hornets logo and kept the same uniform design as of now b/c i think it looks very well with an updated modern version of the old pinstripe hornets. c&c
pmoehrin Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Its not bad, but I think it would look better if the out of bounds area was teal as well.I like the purple for the lines though and do hope they do something similar to what your suggesting in terms of the logos.
McCall Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Chances are, if they're changing the name, they're not gonna keep the same letters and uniform design. Wholesale rebrand. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall
The_Admiral Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Chances are, if they're changing the name, they're not gonna keep the same letters and uniform design. Wholesale rebrand.They've been keeping the same ugly letters through every tweak or redesign they've had yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they did keep using them. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Wholesale rebrand.They've been keeping the same ugly letters through every tweak or redesign they've had yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they did keep using them.The Bobcats look isn't bad in my opinion. Its just terrible brand image to have. I don't think the name was ever accepted and it hasn't helped matters either that they've been just flat out awful since joining the NBA.I say bring back the Hornets, the teal and purple with the honeycomb and pretend like the Bobcats era of Charlotte basketball never existed.
habsfan1 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 It would be nice if the uniforms could be seen bigger, so that we can have a better view of them.

jakemon08 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Well, the first problem for me is the uniform design. I personally think that what they have now is a ridiculous mess. So if (when) this rebrand does happen, I hope they start all over. And two, I just really don't want this to happen. It's dumb, and confusing, and unnecessary. I could be wrong, but I just don't see that many people that don't root for the Bobcats saying "Oh they're called the Hornets now, I can be a fan."
MadmanLA Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I like this design, although it does look a little Orlando Magic-esque. I don't see anything wrong with keeping the typeface the team currently has; I believe it actually blends in pretty well.
jgsmith725 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 It would be nice if the uniforms could be seen bigger, so that we can have a better view of them.Here is a larger version jpeg of the uniforms, it is the same design they currenlty wear:

I don't see anything wrong with keeping the typeface the team currently has; I believe it actually blends in pretty well.I agree, the typefacee actually blends well with the Hornets logo, the design is the current design the wear now, i do see your point about it being orlando magic-esque
TJed73 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I like the concepts...but can you direct me to where you got this template?
Slammersman Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It would be nice if the uniforms could be seen bigger, so that we can have a better view of them.Here is a larger version jpeg of the uniforms, it is the same design they currenlty wear:Only thing I might change is the Home jersey. Instead of Hornets it should have Charlotte. If you look back to there old Jersey's home and away they had Charlotte on all sets and I thing that would look better.
uk-owns-iu Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It's amazing how different the Charlotte Hornets were from the New Orleans Hornets when they both used very similar ideas for the most part.Excellent job here. I would miss the Bobcats unique color scheme (heck its already gone now) but this is definitely what the NBA should market in Charlotte.
TaylorMade Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Two small suggestions. On the "crown C" logo, make it a honeycomb instead of a circle. And put that on the shorts and put Hugo above the NOB.

It's pretty much perfect, or damn near close. E-mail this to the Hornets.
TJed73 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 something i forgot to mention, i feel that the main court color should be teal. thats the way it was back at the charlotte coliseum. also, the swoosh should be added to the court.and, again, could you direct me to this template. its great.
pHiL Kizer Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Very good work! I would like to see the Bobcats use these if they decide to go back to being the Hornets.
