If the Hornets do change their name, can I change my name with it and still keep the 78?
New owner Tom Benson wants to change the name of the team and rebrand the organization.
I'm cool with that. Give the name back to Charlotte where it belongs.Benson said he is also trying to change the name of the NBA team to better fit the ambience, culture and charm of New Orleans.
"We need to find a name like (Jazz)," Benson said, referring to New Orleans first NBA team that relocated to Salt Lake City in 1979. "Whether we can get that or let us use that, you've got to know we're working on it. We'd like to change it tomorrow. We have not gotten that approved, but we're not letting up on it, either. Because we've got a good relationship with the commissioner and his people and we're going to be on them daily to do something."

I'm gonna be pissed if the new name is anything other than Looters
I saw an interesting article a LONG time ago about name shifts in the NBA that need to happen.
Memphis Hornets
Utah Grizzlies
N.O. Jazz
the new orleans jazz would be bad ass. but i don't see utah giving the name up.
and the grizzlies should change their name to the memphis blues.
The Dome Sitters
Crisis
Broken Levies
New Orleans FEMA Trailers
finally...
New Orleans Sons
These are all good, if they wanted alliteration they could even go with "Dome Dwellers"
I don't think those names would sell alot of merchandise.
I found this mildly entertaining
New logo
I wonder if that guy would be the mascot if his salary was unlimited Heineken
But is Lootee even alive anymore?
that doesn't roll off the tongue well though
No Grizzlies in Utah though, so the name would be just as re ed there as in Memphis.
New Orleans Storm Surge works way better.
This can be their new mascot. Not an animal or something, just a bunch of black people stealing that they need to survive with .
Sons they need to beat up those Mormons and take back the Jazz name. That way Charlotte can have their original team name back, and Utah can get their own .
