Hell the current Mardi Gras unis are MUCH better than our regular unis. We have to have one of the worst uniforms in the NBA. They look amateurish and bland (hate the pinstripes). I would think purple, green and gold would be fitting. Like the old Jazz, I would want the road unis to use purple as the primary color.


Completely disagree with you. The Mardi Gras unis are the ugliest to see an NBA floor in several years. It's up there with the old hideos Nuggets unis as all-time terrible. It looks like a banana got stuck between Celtic and a glass of grape kool-aid.

I like the colors we have now, maybe change the shade of "creole blue" to more green though.

I like how blue/green looks on a basketball uni










too many teams have some shade of blue in their color scheme though. As much as I would like Mardi Gras colors, it's tough to have three primary colors and have it look good (see our current uniforms).

with that being said, green and and our current gold would be awesome

something like this

I think the purple from the mardi gras uni is a good base color for the scheme. A full purple uni (maybe a green as well?) featuring some blue accents to Honor our past as the hornets?

I actually like the idea of using the Mardi Gras colors in some way.

Let me throw this out there . . . we go either plaid or paisley. Open your minds. . . .

It's gotta be purple dominant with some gold and green outlines.

I think what they've done with the current "Hornets" colors is pretty good. Changed from Teal to Creole Blue. Incorporated purple and yellow. Maybe mix that up a bit more or somehow add green.
Creole Blue is a pretty sweet base color imo. Accent it with purple, green and gold some kind of way and it represents New Orleans well.

My rebrand scheme I worked on last night.

Nothing serious I feel like if we cant find a better name than the Hornets, (I'm not as opposed to keeping Hornets as some others) We should atleast drop the teal and make the Hornets our own with Mardi Gras colors.

I like it, too. The teal was ugly, but Creole Blue is pimping.
