Seems the NBA took over the New Orleans Hornets this week. If the team moves the name "Hornets" could become available!

Anyone for turning back the clock and supporting the "CHARLOTTE HORNETS Purple & Teal?"

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - To get back on the winning track Charlotte's NBA team called on an old friend to be the new coach.

Would bringing back the old name produce the same magic?

JOAT - they said on the news last night that it would cost about $4M to do the branding switchover. I believe LB is getting paid about twice this amount just to leave.

I'm a Charlotte native, and feel that there are many fans in and around Charlotte who would get on the bandwagon if we went retro and brought the Hornets name back, but I doubt many current Bobcat fans would jump ship over the change. The team needs more fans and support, so whatever brings this about I am all for.

The team needs more talent and more cohesive players, not the band of misfits we have right now, but I don't know. Something feels right about bringing back our old identity. Too bad my Rex Chapman jersey no longer fits since I was 14 when I got it.

If the name came open, I think it would be stupid for them NOT to go back to the Hornets. Just the name Charlotte Bobcats has a stigma to it of being something that most citizens do not want, whereas Charlotte Hornets would/does have one of being a town favorite that used to be loved.

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      Ok.  I see that signs may not obstruct others view.  That seems to be a pretty large sign, and since they are in the front, if they were to hold it up, I feel it would obstruct others view. I don't see the point in holding the sign in their laps. If I were in securities shoes, I would just tell them to put it up, so that I don't have to keep a constant eye on them because not everyone listens and will just wait until I turn my back to raise the sign again.  I see no point in holding a sign on your lap where it can not be seen unless you are just waiting to break the rules again. The amount of time they have "gotten away" with this is still irrelevant.  For all we know, someone complained they could not see because of the sign.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      Cows fan with just some info.      Some good points from y'all but some that are poorly thought out too.   Dallas played the last game (Jets, 0-4) with 4 OL starters out, Cee Dee Lamb out, #3 WR Kavontae Turpin out (he's also the League's #1 returner), #2 RB Miles Sanders out (avg 5.8 ypc).  Dak is playing very well as is Javonte Williams and George Pickens.   Cows have a lot of offensive depth and talent and are/were the #1 offense in the League.  416 yards last week and close to another 40 burger.  They suck on D ! DC Matt Eberflus plays a very soft over the top zone.  Russell Wilson (NYGiants) shredded the Cow's D for 450 passing yards  (I think there were 7 plays of 30+ yards).  In the 2nd half of the Fudge Packers game Dallas D never got a stop thus there was a tie (40-40).  With only a D ranked around the middle of the NFL pack Dallas could probably be 4-1.   Their D sux badly.   They did get a few sacks (5) against Justin Fields last Sunday in NJ otherwise they gave up 380 yards against the Jets.   We are very familiar with Rico Dowdle.

      Nothing you or I or anyone does with regards to enjoying or moaning about wins and losses has any affect on the success or failure or shittyness factor of the franchise.
