wonderbread Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's a pretty clever idea on its surface, but now we're getting into the Bobcats pretending they're the Hornets pretending they're the Bulls and in the words of a great song on a bad album, it's all too much.The bulls never had the jump man logo, that is specifically a Jordan brand thing.

Shadojoker Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hmmm Charlotte has already begun to incorporate the Jordan brand throughout their logo process. Wouldn't be a bad idea for a hugo jumpman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the early apparel was in black, red and white. The logo itself is of a Bull dunking. And that was all before the Jordan "brand" existed. It was a Nike shoe logo first. So no, it was never an official Bulls logo, but to suggest that it was never associated with that team and is simply a vanity brand logo is off-target.That said, it would make more sense for Charlotte than Oregon.

Off the top of my head, Randy Brown used to. Most guys wore Nike, though. Pippen had his own signature Nike shoes, at least from 97 on. By the way, Pippen's shoes were freaking awesome.

TheOldRoman Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm pretty sure Pippen switched shoes often midseason. I remember him wearing Jordans at times, but I don't think he wore them regularly. I could be wrong.On a related note, I just thought of the time when Pippen wore gold shoes in the 1994 All-Star Game and won MVP. His gold shoes were a huge news story locally. Nowadays, gold shoes at the All Star game wouldn't even get a one-line mention in a the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Bill Wennington wore Jordans during the '96 run. Apparently he was having foot issues and those were the most comfortable shoes to play in. He was incessantly mocked by MJ for this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderbat Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Bobcats have stated that they have broke franchise merchandise sales records with the roll out of the new Hornets gear. Saturday night they doubled the previous record. Monday's game was in the top 3 sales days in franchise history. The top 3 sales days have related to the roll out of the Hornets. The Buzz City and retro gear for the logo debut night is the other in the top 3 days in merchandise. Also Sunday a day the Cats had no game sold more merchandise than some games have. Also merchandise should be hitting stores any day. Team store had exclusive rights to sell the new merchandise for the first 3 days. Impressive... .:Braves...Panthers...Catamounts:.

Impressive...I was at the team store Tuesday and bought a Hornets t-shirt with one of the new logos. Lot of good stuff at the team store, with more to come in the near future, I'm sure. The retro stuff looks really good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Haha, I didn't realize that song was about a socially inappropriate boner until years later. I loved the eiffel-65 remix of "The Bad Touch" in middle school, but nothing will ever compare to "Stuart." I've quoted it a couple times on this board. I don't think anyone got it. To steer this back on topic, if these Charlotte Hornets are for real, they'll play lots of '90s R&B/hip-hop at games. I want some Skee-Lo. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravesfan8604 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Definitely glad to see the Hornets back in Charlotte. My only issue, as with other folks, is MJ as an owner.

But you can't put a Hornet on a hat and jersey's back... and think that'll solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
