re: I really miss our Hornets colors / brand

this our current colors look like every other team in the league that was my point every team in the NFL NBA or baseball has navy blue was the color the teal was so unique it really pops

I think both cities have good brands now.

The Hornets are a great fit for Charlotte. They were Charlotte's first pro team and the name has a historic connection w/ the city. Their rebrand has been a great win for the city.

And Pelicans is a great fit for New Orleans. It is unique in all of pro sports and reps the region. The logos are badass. They just kind of whiffed on the colors and unis. Red and blue is way too common. They initially said that blue was the primary color and gold was secondary. IMO a gold and blue combo would have been better b/c it would be more unusual, but they went w/ mostly blue and red. Nothing wrong w/ that, just so, so common.

I miss the New Orleans Jazz.

Too bad all 3 organizations could not have worked something out. Utah would have come out way ahead, in terms of extra generated revenue from a rebrand, and the price the Pellies probably would have had to pay.

But I genuinely like ther color scheme we currently have, but Pierre >>>>>> Hugo everyday!!!

If we could have gotten Pierre to jump through that ring of fire or ride out like Hugo did for Dallas, that to me would have been worth the price of admission

Also while we are talking about bringing stuff back

I really miss our Hornets colors / brandI don't really miss the old brand But I do sort of find our jerseys and color scheme to be pretty meh and generic

its the exact same colors as the cleveland cavaliers. kinda boring. name is awesome though

I do miss Hugo. He was awesome. But in this case we had to throw the baby out with the bathwater so that we could come out ahead with a much more fitting rebrand. I think everything worked out perfect for both franchises.

Yah those were too busy

As a general color scheme the new one isnt anything remarkable, but when you factor in the they are the colors on thr new orleans flag i absolutely love them.

I dig the rebrand as a whole. Pelicans was my 3rd favorite name, logos are great, and i think they did a great job of making the uni's a mix of a classic & modern look. Didnt want to see anything like the Spurs, Okc, or, denver alt uni's.

Of course part of me will always miss the Hornets brand due to all of the fun times i had at the arena watching those teams (even the bad). Especially now that I live in north LA and can very seldom make it down.

Half the teams have red and blue color schemes. I agree 100%.
