Will they make a return? I believe and hope they will. If not they just need to re-brand completely because the Bobcats are worthless. Sure would be nice to see the real Hornets and the Supersonics back in the NBA though! http://blogs.charlotte.com/inside_the_nba/2013/04/nickname-change-to-hornets-coming-soon.html

Seattle already said if they bring an NBA team back, they will buy the Sonics name and history back to them.
Better than Pelicans... Oh wait. Sorry, but Charlotte Hornets were hardly relevant to the NBA. Never made it past the second round.
I'd just as soon stick with Bobcats. Going back to Hornets causes essentialist problems. The Charlotte Hornets of today wouldn't be the same Charlotte Hornets that left the city.
Living in Carolina right now and even when I was in BEaumont , I always loved the Hornets as a franchise.
Bring back the Charlotte Hornets. Glen Rice, Zo, Bogus, Grandmama, Eddie Jones, David weasly... Miss that franchise.
I loved that team.. Glen Rice was a deadly shooter!! I loved 90s basketball!! It's crazy to know that there will be a Glen Rice Jr. - Tim Hardaway Jr. Etc etc gonna root for those guys
Dropped my kid off at basketball practice last night and saw a guy wearing a purple Charlotte Hornets Larry Johnson jersey. Coincidence? I think not. Except it probably is.
The Browns immediately changed their name when they left Cleveland, so you never had Browns playing anywhere else. Chris Paul is a famous former Hornet, but not a Charlotte Hornet. That's a pain in the ass. Maybe the source of some interesting trivia questions 20 years from now. But, why not just move forward instead of back? The old Hornets were pretty cool, but they're dead and gone. Calling this new franchise the Hornets won't bring Grandmama back.
It's not about bringing him back. It's about bringing Hugo back and the purple and teal. It's their team. Can you imagine if New Orleans were the Rockets and we had a new franchise named i dunno..the Houston Astronauts...and they were awful. Would you not beg for your franchise to take back the Rockets name and history?
