No it wasn't! We kept our name and color scheme. No rebrand involves. However, I do believe I was wrong about the rules. When uniforms are changed, you have to wait a year or two to change them. We got our yellow alternates two years after our old uni change

it was a total redo of the look.

remember the blue color was changed (from teal to "creole" blue) and purple was pretty much done away with completely

team wordmark was changed

while the dribbling hornet was still the primary logo... it essentially moved to the back burner (with minor changes to it) with the fleur-de-bee becoming the main 1... also the new NOLA trumpet logo took an integral spot in the look

uniforms were overhauled (which is the main reason we couldn't have a 3rd uniform for a year)

got a new court design

while the name itself wasn't changed... the brand was... in essence the Hornets did go through a post-Katrina rebrand after coming back home
