JPDesign Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 If you go to nba.com/hornets it redirects to nba.com/pelicans (for now).Once the change happens I'm assuming that nba.com/bobcats will redirect to nba.com/hornetsThat makes my head hurt.

joshey Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The design of the uniforms - and the inconsistancy - was definitly an issue for the team. But i think it was a strong bold move to have orange as a primary road color. Unique and if the team was good and got a little following i wouldnt have been surprised if it hung around for much longer. But i feel they wimped out and when for that bland slate navy/grey and pinstrpes and it just became a washy mess.Looking forwad to teal and purple, not that i was ever a big fan but i like seeing unique color schemes insted of red, blue, navy etc.I know I'm in the minority (don't hate me Sterling) but I actually think the pinstripe jerseys were their best set, except for the collars. I hate the incomplete collar look, the jerseys just looked incomplete to me because of that. No doubt though, they are better off with the hornets identity. The name "Cats" is better suited for the WNBA. GO NETS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderbat Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Bobcats are now officially the Hornets. Just not on the internet for some reason. I accidentally called my ticket rep today. When I realized I made the call I hung up before I thought it rang. Apparently it did. When he called back he said it was the Charlotte Hornets calling and he had a call from my number. I explained to him who I was and what happened. I then asked him when everything officially changed to the Hornets. He said as of today they are now officially the Hornets. I asked when the website etc would change and he said he wasn't sure about that. .:Braves...Panthers...Catamounts:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29texan Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 R.I.P. Bobcats.Your generic, "movie team" look and feel will thankfully soon be forgotten. Maybe if this was the ONLY team Charlotte ever had, it would be ok. But there's just too much history and fanfare with the Hornets brand. At the very least, many people are getting what they want with the Hornets returning. I guess it's too bad the Jazz "returning" to New Orleans wont be happening.

wonderbread Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The change to the Hornets certainly won't change their losing ways.They made the playoffs this year and have the pieces to return next year. You dont know what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakfu Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 R.I.P. Bobcats. Your generic, "movie team" look and feel will thankfully soon be forgotten. Well at least until your jerseys start showing up on hipsters at Coachella in a few years.TBH, their inaugural orange uniforms weren't really generic at all and looked great. But yes, it's great to have the Hornets back in their rightful location. Once the orange uniforms went, there was no reason to keep the identity. But IMO the orange was great - the satiny reddish orange was unique, different from the brighter and flatter orange that other teams have used. There certainly is a dearth of orange in pro sports, isn't there? Even the Dolphins use an accent is almost gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Can we get a colour check from ColorWerx?How similar is the original Bobcats red-orange to the Marlins current red-orange?

TruColor Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Bobcats Marlins ^ Yep...equal. In terms of printing anyway. However, we can take this one step further, and compare textile/fabric colors: Bobcats: Marlins: Oh - and the OKC Thunder use that top one. "Cherry Tomato".

Spiderbat Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I got an email from the Bobcats this morning advertising Bobcats gear for mothers day. This leads me to believe that they will not rebrand until after the finals. Which is different then what NOLA did. I assume the NBA is making them hold off since they were in the playoffs. .:Braves...Panthers...Catamounts:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
