Mac the Knife Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 This may be a dumb question, but why do people seem to be in love with the idea of bringing back the Charlotte Hornets much more than any other defunct or relocated franchise in any other sport? Is it just because of how the name sounds?Some of us don't. In fact, for me there's a whole slew of team names I'd rather see resurrected before this one, including but not limited to...Kentucky ColonelsArizona WranglersBrooklyn DodgersWashington Federals (or Bullets)Spirits of St. LouisFlorida MarlinsTampa Bay BanditsHouston Oilers (or Gamblers)New Orleans JazzSan Antonio GunslingersOakland InvadersChicago BlitzPhiladelphia StarsMemphis Showboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil G Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Because the original owner named it the Bobcats more after himself than he did the cat. Plus the Hornets have historical relevancy. I actually don't see too big of a problem going Cleveland Deal (if you are saying that the guys who played in Charlotte can be retired by Hornicats/guys who played with NOLA can be retired by the Pelicans). Also, Mac, I knew your bubble has been bursted on many of those names, so I won't remind you why the Bullets, Dodgers, and Jazz are in use anymore.

DaytonBlue Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Retiring/recognizing players is one thing. But the franchise history is the franchise history. The Charlotte Hornets of 2014-15 will have been established in 2004.

HedleyLamarr Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 As for the Revolutionary War thing? The city of Charlotte's named after the wife of the King the Americans were rebelling against.Only because she had a nice ass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
