Black and Gold jerseys --> J.R. Smith most sold jersey 2005

I agree, but I also hate teal for basketball teams. I think a Black & Gold outlining of the basketball court, with a menacing looking BumbleBee (Hornet) would look pretty good.

Anyone have the Hornets inquiry email, where I can send an email to them?

Link it to the main board, so you can get some people to vote on it to help. If you know their email address, let me know, as I want to email them as well.

Here's my letter:

Quote:

I've been on a few Hornets fan sites and it seems that the vast majority of the fans are intrigued about the process of getting new team colors and a maybe newer logo (although still the Hornets). I'm of the opinion, that this would be a very good idea for the franchise, specifically as New Orleans begins to get over its franchise infancy.

Many feel that the colors should be black and gold (yellow?) and I tend to agree with them, because if you look around the League those colors would be the most distinct colors by far and with the current colors they have now, no one wants to buy those jerseys.

Picture a JR Smith jersey in Black 'n' Gold. You're looking at one of the top selling Jersey's in the League if that comes to pass. The current team colors lack pizazz and charm. In the interest of feasibility as well as economic prosperity, you'd have to take real hard look at whether new jerseys would be a good thing.

I think if you get some graphic artists together and look into how well received Black 'n' Gold would be in New Orleans (and around the country), you'd see that you could make some real good money on NBA apparel and get fans excited as you re-invent the franchise.

You should be getting a few letters from others as well, but I wanted to be the first to let you know of this.

If it is possible to forward this to owner George Shinn and CMO Tim McDougall, that would also be terrific.

i say, go back to the old charlotte jersey and colors. one of the best jerseys ever imo. remember how thug it was to have a hornets starter jacket

A good color scheme idea is main color navy blue, outline on name and side stripes neon green, and silver name and side stripe. Have all the writing on it in a really weird cool looking font to make it original.

Good work, HKF!!! Really good work! If they really change the uniforms there should be a little "copyright by HKF" on the jersey because you came up with the idea!

**HKF** · 02-21-2005, 08:47 AM

They responded to me. If you're interested in seeing the black and gold as well, my suggestion is to write them as well and make it known that this is something that people would really want.

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im thinking not quite as dark a gold as the Saints use. More of a lighter gold like a yellow. Like the ones they already have. Basically its drop the fricken teal and add black...

**DwyaneWade4MVP** · 02-25-2005, 12:25 AM

It is really time to make a change now with the face of the hornets gone:
Last years Hornets: Mashburn, Baron Davis, David Wesley...they are gone now so it's time to make a change with a new uniform for the new face of the hornets!
