Gee Phil

I’ve never posted here before now. But hey I’m glad I created such an impression on you while you were trolling Seattle websites you fucking loser.

I love the new uniforms, the creole blue really is better than the WNBA-ish teal! Am I right?

Joe, think more people will “start supporting your own team” once there is something tangible to support…as of yet…no team name…no team colors…no team logo…etc etc

Whats up with the baggy below-the-knee/knee-length shorts? They look like skirts or culottes/coolots (sp?). Understand freedom of movement..at least the “old” Charlotte photo looks like the uniform fit.

You guys really need to get over the Hornets and start supporting your own team. It would be ridiculous for people there to forsake the new team for the New Orleans Hornets.

As for the uniform, yes there is a similarity with the old Charlotte ones. But if anyone is going to be bothered by that, it should only be long-term Hornets fans in Charlotte or New Orleans. I really don’t see how any of this pertains to OKC. In fact, it almost looks like a shot at another city just because OKC has been getting absolutely slammed by the national press on so many levels and for so many reasons regarding the Sonics and this particular news organization.

The Oklahoman just needs to let up and focus on their own stuff, not anyone elses.

i’m concerned about the team name, but all this concern for clothes i don’t get. as long as their not pink, or look like the old rainbow-y nuggets jerseys, i’m cool with whatever.

Ahem, shouldn’t we wait at least for the unveiling of the new OKC name, logos, colors, jerseys and what not before criticizing other teams for their choices?

I’m not too high on the pinstriped jerseys, but Orlando will have very similar ones this season celebrating their 25 years in the league, so it’s not like the Hornets will be the only ones to go a little retro.
I think the new logos, especially the Hornet in the fleure de lille as a secondary logo, are definitely an improvement. The old “Happy Hornet” locked like a crappy comic character, now they cleaned up the colors and it looks much better.
And I don’t like Minnesota’s new home jersey at all (albeit better than on the leaked Kevin Love pictures). But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Sorry to tell you Mark, But there aren’t ANY NBA players playing in Seattle.

Bethlehem Shoals is the hack. His blog is very amatuerish. He must have family at TSN that got him the job.

I think you do a great job, DM. I’ve certainly become a fan. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

DM, I had several points.

1. “Jazzy and cutting edge” is for teams with no history or tradition. That’s why the Lakers and Celtics don’t change uniforms. Do you think this “sets the league back”. It doesn’t.

2. The Hornets old uniforms were awful.
