Sport Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I was just thinking about this - purple was at one point the league's hot color. It was used by the Bucks, Lakers, Raptors, Hornets, Kings, Suns, and Jazz. 6 teams in a 30 team league is awfully high for a color such as purple, especially when you look at other leagues during that same time period. The NFL had 2, MLB had 2, NHL had 2 (I'm counting the Ducks' eggplant). Just interesting, that's all. Same here. Methinks MJ digs the Carolina Blue.and that would be a mistake, which is why Jordan will do it. He's not exactly known for his fashion sense (http://wtfismikewearing.tumblr.com/) or for his NBA executive acumen. I'm actually surprised he's going through with appropriating the Hornets moniker.

Conrad. Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Be prepared for Teal, Purple, and Black.ugh, i hope not.i could tolerate the carolina and deep purple, though i'd prefer the teal to make a comeback as a shade lighter than the original Hornets teal.

dfwabel Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 During the Draft Lottery, wasn't it mentioned in passing that Jordan would prefer Carolina Blue and Duke Blue (aka Navy)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorMade Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 During the Draft Lottery, wasn't it mentioned in passing that Jordan would prefer Carolina Blue and Duke Blue (aka Navy)?So basically the exact same colors as the Tar Heels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo96 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 During the Draft Lottery, wasn't it mentioned in passing that Jordan would prefer Carolina Blue and Duke Blue (aka Navy)?Didn't hear that at all.Duke blue is not close to Navy. It's more Royal. ColorWerx? Click the Banner - Join the Movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ needs to get him on board ASAP. Thats if he wanted to do the obvious smart thing....but its MJ so most likely that want happen. .:Braves...Panthers...Catamounts:.

BBTV Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 As long as there's no pleated shorts this time. Pleats shouldn't be worn by anybody under 50.

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Gld you guys looked at that site. MJ may say that the colors aren't chosen, but it you're selling ticket packages for the new Hornets using that color scheme (which very well may be Bobcat blue and Hornet purple), and give away a jacket with those same colors, you darn well be using them or something really close.I'd prefer teal-purple, but could live with powder-purple as an acceptable modernization. The latest N.O. Hornets look still felt right for the team despite not being technically accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diablo Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Blue/purple would be a really cool color scheme that nobody uses. Just throwing that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderbat Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Maybe this is what Michael is going for? That is from 2002. The teal looks like it has more blue in it here, or it could just be the lighting in the picture? ColorWerx did they change the teal that year? .:Braves...Panthers...Catamounts:.

There's really no need for that change. My opinion is the Hurricanes use Carolina more for sound than anything else. Carolina _____ sounds better thsn Raleigh ____ . but Charlotte flows fine with Hornets. Bringing back the Carolina Cougers woulda been a cool name instead of Bobcats though.
