It's a good look. I would buy some Hornets gear even though I'm not a fan.

I remember when I was a kid in the early-mid 90s, EVERYONE wore Bulls, Hornets, Magic, Cowboys, Bills and Raiders gear. I didn't matter what city you were in. Everybody wore that shit.

i REALLY like the way they did the primary. it's a nod to the hugo of old but they definitely modernized it so it's not quite as old fashioned. it's also a bit more intimidating with the stinger being so much sharper. they really nailed it :applause: :applause: :applause:

Nah the secondary one Quizno posted, thanks though :cheers:

I'm gonna have to go scoop some Hornets gear. Purple is my favorite color and they have some sweet logo designs. Am I the only one that likes the pelicans logo too?

:eek: :eek: how did I just notice the lower circle of the hornet is a basketball? Very nice.

[brandonislegend]

Yes please.

So who made this good decision and how hard did MJ fight it?

[Quizno]

So who made this good decision and how hard did MJ fight it?
it was a grassroots organization in charlotte called "bring back the buzz" that really got the idea going. MJ was on board with the name change but he's pushing hard to sign kwame and adam morrison. he maintains to this day that they were good picks

[Jameerthefear]

i'm gonna buy so much hornets shit. that logo is awesome

[CelticBaller]

hornets <3

[moe94]

he's pushing hard to sign kwame and adam morrison. he maintains to this day that they were good picks

This is way too funny.

Didn't MJ notoriously destroy Kwame's confidence, too?

[SpecialQue]

Pretty kickass logo there. I like it. :applause:

Are you too young to remember everyone rockign LA Kings and San Jose Sharks stuff?

Awesome. Just a shame it took New Orleans changing their name to the stupidest team nickname ever to get the Hornets back.

[ballup]

Oh snap. Very modern.

[Quizno]

anddddd the bobcats lose to the jazz :oldlol:

could really use a new and improved team to go along with the logo

[treadster]

hey, you're back!

[Jameerthefear]

hey, you're back!
yep :cheers:

[CLTHornets4eva]

I made my user name 5 years ago. I have waited 12 years for this night. I went to the game and had the best halftime show i have ever seen. Packed house with teal glow sticks and 90s rap. Awesome night.

The logo that is listed as primary is actually not the primary but a kid focused secondary. Mascot is hugo again and the cheerleaders are the "Honeybees".

Awesome rebranding MJ:rockon: :cheers: :banana:

Next season, I thought. Not positive.

Great looking logo.

Kemba is a young and exciting player and i really like what McRoberts brings to the table. I like the direction they are going in.

If only they were open to give the banners and history back

[Rake2204]

Someone just showed this to me a few weeks ago. I feel like I missed out on the time when it was popular. Was this Hugo the Hornet story like, a thing at some point: http://imgur.com/U5VfK ? A friend challenged me to read it out loud and I couldn't make it through.

[Bibby4Three]

Best move Jordan has made.

[absalom]

Way to go MJ. :cheers:

Looks good. Nice to see the Hornets back to where they belong. Now, if only we can get the Sonics to return to Seattle.

[Duderonomy]

Awesome. Just a shame it took New Orleans changing their name to the stupidest team nickname everto get the Hornets back.

Kwame was a good pick, not just at number 1:lol

Adam Morrison got injured and never had a chance to come back.

[Shade8780]

Their jerseys gonna luck sexy. Might pick up one in the future if they ever get a good player.

[QuebecBaller]

With the Hornets back in town, do they retake the team history? Because now, the history is a part of New Orleans team

If so, they should retire the numbers of Zo, LJ, Mugsy and Curry to honor the past

[OmniStrife]

I dig. A lot.

esp. the ones without the grin... plus those colors are great.

[Eric Cartman]

When do they start being the hornets again? :bowdown:

[CLTHornets4eva]

When do they start being the hornets again? :bowdown:

July 1, 2014

4 more buzz city nights that include: Wearing hornets original jersey, Jersey Unveil, Mascot unveil, and a surprise. (My guess is that they get the history back and retire jerseys)

Agreed it's a stupid name but nontheless, Pelicans logo is pretty nice,in fact both logos are cool looking ones
