The short of it is that the owners of that defunct team still collect TV money from the Spurs, Nuggests, Pacers, and Nets. These 4 teams net less TV money than the other 26 as a result.



For realz? What's the connection. Wait . . . were they all former ABA teams?

Yup. All part of the merger stuff.

Again, apologies if this was all covered before. I deserve a wind-up if so for my laziness.

after reading all the suggestions, I go with keeping the name the Hornets. It's really not that bad of a name. Change the color scheme and logo though.

I don't really like the name Knights all that much, but bigdub did some jersey's I like over on HR. LINK



He originally did them in blue and white but the Red, Black and Gold color scheme is really starting to grow on me.

I do like the red and black and gold colors.

The blue one could be good to, if they maybe change it to a darker blue and add some black/dark purple and play off of the knights and "night" theme.

ETA: Not sure I like the font though. Reminds me too much of the Mardi Gras jerseys, which I absolutely hate.

I really love the Breakers concept BigDub came up with. Those red,, black and gold Knights jerseys remind me of Cleveland too much.

Yea, I dont understand the Knights concept at all. Isnt that more of a European thing anyways? Never had knights in U.S. much less N.O. Now Captains (riverboat captains) I could see on that jersey above.

I'm pretty sure the Knights concept is just for alliteration, similar to Washington Wizards.

I don't even want a name change anymore. I love the Fleur de Bee, and I want to see Davis play in a Hornets uniform like Chris Paul once played in.

Spirit and Angels both suck. Neither of them really resemble New Orleans at all, in my opinion. If that's the best they got, keep Hornets until something better than that, please.

That's pretty much where I am. But I'm also pretty sure they're going to make a change.
