    Now if only New Orleans could get the Jazz name back. And Minnesota get the Lakers name back.

    Like Real Madrid, they should put their name in Front of their city name

    Air Charlotte

    And their logo could be Jordan's famous silhouette, why not. I think it's the best idea I've had all day

    Why will it take Charlotte 18 months when the pelicans only announced it 2 months ago for next season?

    good to hear...

    "bobcats" never really did it for me.

    their name/ jerseys/ color scheme always had a WNBA feel to it.

    I like this move. Charlotte Bobcats is a weak name and the colors are downright ugly. Im assuming they are getting the old hornets color scheme back too right?

    Article title is obviously

    " Charlotte Bobcats begin process of changing name back to Hornets "

    So its a little misleading, not a done deal YET. Though I guess obviously initiative has been started up.

    Actually whats more misleading is them saying "changing name BACK to Hornets". Because the Bobcats never WERE the "Hornets" to begin with.

    Still thats probably pissing off old Seattle Supersonics fans even more right now seeing a city get their team and mascot restored and they didnt :p
