The Charlotte Hornets are returning to the @NBA (https://twitter.com/NBA). This Grandma approves -> pic.twitter.com/yyTr8inhSj (http://t.co/yyTr8inhSj)


Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is changing his team's name to the Hornets, said a person familiar with the situation.
The person said Jordan will detail the timetable for the change to be completed at a press conference the Bobcats have scheduled for Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the name change has not been publicly announced.

Good move tbh. They should bring back the old honeycomb court from the 90's too.

Baddass

[lefty]

already have a thread on it

[baseline bum]

Don't understand this needing 18 months for the name change garbage. They can just donate whatever Bobcats apparel (that wasn't going to sell anyways) to all those African and Haitian kids whose Patriots 19-0 gear is starting to wear out.

It's so Stern can have time to rig Wiggins to Charlotte and then make bank off the brand-new Wiggins Hornets merch....

they just got a fresh shipment of Lakers 2013 Championship gear. I think they're going to be good for a while tbh.

Lame they have to wait another year tbh.

[AchillesHeel]

Maybe Bobcats get lucky this year and draft Wiggins, start over as the Hornets again and become a solid team? Just a thought.

:cry Magic and Hornets jerseys in the mid 90's

:cry that short lived Magic-Hornets rivalry

Finally! It was bullshit that New Orleans stole the name from Charlotte. "Hornets" has had a strong connection with the city of Charlotte since the late 1700's. Glad to see they got their name back. Maybe they can close the book on what will be regarded as a completely dismal Bobcats era.

[Katherine Robinson]

I was expecting Jordan to rename the team the Charlette Jordans and use the franchise to advertise his product.

I pray for this every night

Suns uniforms are badass, son.

Suns uniforms are badass, son.
Imo, they look like a Chinese bootleg version of the unis the Suns wore in the '90s, tbh....

They aren't as good as the 90's unis, but they're modern and clean, and they look real good on the home court.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Why can't the Houston Texans bring the Oilers back? Texans is fucking lame and simple, with uniforms that reflect that.

Pretty slick logos tbh. Hope they bring back something resembling the 90's Hornets uni's and that honeycomb court.

You know what's funny, I thought they looked horrible at the unveiling but seeing them on the court...it works.

super excited for this

[Rogue]

Charlotte deserves an NBA team that's not as shitty as the bobcats tbh, it really does, even just for its namesake alone. That city got the most beautiful name in this nation tbh, Charlotte (the finest charater our goddess ever portrayed) :cry

A site update is long overdue to include the Pelicans team name and logo.
