Bring back the New Orleans Buccaneers!!



Would be sweet, but...



Too close? Geographically speaking, of course.


I like Charlotte's new duds, I just hope they make that name switch with N.O. Then New Orleans could change to something  like maybe Blues or Pelicans. Also, "Charlotte Hornets" always sounded so much better.

As for other teams switching names, well... It would be too complicated with all the teams that have relocated through the years. I like the way they honor the teams and their history by wearing throwbacks on certain occasions.

I hope that one day in the near future Seattle will once again host NBA basketball, because the people there deserve it. They bleed green (and gold, of course) like we do, the Supersonics was just a cool team with a cool identity and they didn't leave because people didn't love the team.

The Supes were also a team with a lot of Celtic connections (Ray, X-Man, Russ, DB, DJ at just the top my head) too.



Make it happen, Mr. Hansen!

The Cats? Really? Will we be having the Seattle Gerbils and the Columbus Guinea Pigs? I want to think of some sort of rough thing, not the thing that makes you bolt when choosing a new girlfriend.

I just saw that no one posted a pic of the new look, so here it is:

Pretty simple, which is almost always a good thing. At the very least a much better look than what they had. Could've been better but could definitely also have been much worse (Thunder logo, anyone?)

Reminds me of Dallas' lettering and OKC's color scheme.

Also, should we read anything into the fact that Corey Maggette, Ty Thomas, nor Byron Mullens were chosen to model the Cats' new togs?

So I suppose none of their players will have something like "He Hate Me" on the back then?

  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
After the season they had, as well as their poor luck in the draft lottery, any kind of change might be good for this team.
