jakepled Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Shape is fine as it matches the new logo, just looks way too small. Then again the huge wings wouldn't be practical for a mascot to walk around with. Was probably designed that way for economical purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlin Wall Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Why have I liked the Hornets on Facebook? My whole Facebook is full of Hugo! ^^ I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I love Carlton...Just forwarding the pics that keep showing up on my timeline from the team page...I'll post my favorite when I can find it...Hugo was sitting on a John Deere lawn mower outside of a Home Depot with a chick from the dance team sitting in his lap & the caption read...#shethinksmytractorssexy #watchoutforbugsprayaisle2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakepled Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I just noticed something...His pants legs have the exact hexagonal honeycomb pattern that people are throwing around in mock court designs, which everyone seems to love. It's very subtle but if you zoom in on the picture you can see it clearly. In sure it's more noticeable in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The pattern is very "turtle"-esque. Also, nice subtle Blue Cross Blue Shield sponsor tag on the gloves. Glad that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 All things considered, besides of the history thing, the Hornets have handled the rollout of everything pretty well. No real leaks, everything scheduled, and everything has a bit of fanfare to it. Nothing has been to brash (yet). Branding wise, this is how you put a new identity into place.

Mr. Bojangles Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So when is the reveal of "The Man of Teal," Super Hugo going to happen?............ A video earlier in this thread said that the guy who was Hugo the Hornet and also did Super Hugo, retired in 2007. I'm not sure if the "new" Hugo will do that too.

wonderbread Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Love the new hugo, though i'm gonna miss the heavy rear "stinger" portion of his suit that caused that awkward Hugo "waddle" when he walked. Haha.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATmeHfhpTDkEdit: He may still actually have that, hard to tell from the front on pics. "Remember when the Charlotte Bobcats were called the Charlotte Hornets?" No I don't because that was never the case. Just another example of revisionist history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

TaylorMade Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I remember reading somewhere (may have been here) that once an NBA logo is retired, it can't be used again. That's why Philly had to add the box around their logo and why the Hornets have a new set.Can anyone confirm or deny and possibly provide a source if handy?Thanks.

Generic Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I remember reading somewhere (may have been here) that once an NBA logo is retired, it can't be used again. That's why Philly had to add the box around their logo and why the Hornets have a new set.Can anyone confirm or deny and possibly provide a source if handy?Thanks.I believe the 76ers had to add the box with Philadelphia in it because the NBA has a rule that requires the city name in new logos. Despite it being an old logo, the fact they brought it back brought that modification.The Hornets (Bobcats) from what I understand were told when filing their application for the name change that they were not able to use the original logo and such as their primary.Not 100% sure on either of those but from what I've gathered over the past bit, those would be my answers.

jakepled Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 They had to change the logo because the NBA does not allow a team top reuse an old logo. The NBA reserves old logos for their "Hardwood Classic" series of merchandize. In other words, it's all about the NBA being able to profit from two different sets.
