Charlotte BOBCATS - name announced

Wed Jun 11, 2003 8:40 am

http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/sports/6052556.htm

personally, i like the name... more than Flight... which sounded like a name for a WNBA team... and Dragons... which would've looked pretty tacky... i reckon they'll come up with a cool Cat logo...

also... it's been confirmed they'll have orange unis...

Wed Jun 11, 2003 8:46 am

pfft...bitch...i was going to post that in the old Charlotte thread...gah! damn you to hell! damn you T.!

Silly Bob Johnson naming the team after himself...

Wed Jun 11, 2003 12:04 pm

Bobcats is probably the best name of the three. Since I can't think of any alternatives, I'll have to say I like the name. :wink:

Wed Jun 11, 2003 3:26 pm

Bobcats is a stupid name. :? makes me think of that tractor thing...i like flight...(N)

Wed Jun 11, 2003 3:44 pm

Bobcats? :? ..that sounds like the name of some oldschool team from the 1960's. Seriously...naming teams after animals is old..and thats a bad choice. Orange uniforms?..how will that look good?..last thing i wanna see are bright colored uniforms like it was a highschool team.

On the other hand..."Flight" sounds like a good name. It sounds kinda newage and steamlined...the "Flights!"...i think dunking when i say that word. They could have gone with some silver and green uniforms (like me site :D ) or something.

I agree with tony though....Dragons would also be very tacky...but less so than bobcats imo.

I would have thought they'd choose blue, same as the Tar Heels.

...the bobcats hire Ray Clay... "Aaaaand Nooowww.... your Charlotte Baaaaawwwwwwbb Caaaatttss!"
and the crowd, bursts out laughing.

I don't really like that name either, and the others are average too.
The orange jerseys are different from anything else in the NBA, I guess it depends on what kind of orange they'll use and what colour they'll combine it with... I thought they would stick with the traditional blue and white. Maybe blue and orange wouldn't be too bad :lol:

here's a name, the Charlotte Spandex... as in Spanded = Expansion :D Yes lame, I know!

bobcats is a crap name...........surely theres is some name out there that is better?

Thu Jun 12, 2003 5:30 am

they also unveiled their logo Image (i thought the logo will be different)

Thu Jun 12, 2003 6:51 am

it looks like NHL or NFL or something.. reminds me of some logo that already exists..

Thu Jun 12, 2003 11:07 am

The name sucks but the logo is not bad...not bad at all.

Thu Jun 12, 2003 2:39 pm

so are they going to change the affiliated WNBA Charlotte Sting name? It is pretty stupid having the sting and bobcats? maybe the claws and bobcats? hehehe... Bobcats.. what a stupid name... definition: common American feral brown small cats (Lynx)... so the name of the team inspires visions of a small and feral team!!! :roll:

Thu Jun 12, 2003 5:22 pm

I agree with Rens, it's not quite like the other NBA logos. It looks old fashioned, "traditional" - but that's not a bad thing.

Fri Jun 13, 2003 1:59 am

Hahahahah we could refer to them as the "Pussies" if they suck :lol: :twisted:

Sat Jun 14, 2003 2:35 am

yeah you can bet your ass that when Shaq catches on they'll be the pussies, the Bulls will be the Cows, and the Spurs will become the Sparks or something...

I think the logo is ok, but yeah it has that old school flavour to it... maybe if it was a bit more three dimensional?

Sun Jun 15, 2003 2:07 am

fuckin bobcats :lol: :lol:

bloody hell, i go away for a while and get all this wierd shit.

bobcats, kobes shoulder its very annoying

Sun Jun 15, 2003 2:54 pm

another team logo w/o a bball :roll:

Sun Jun 15, 2003 9:37 pm

iz okay by me

Mon Jun 16, 2003 6:06 pm

Yeah, I like it. They should get some pretty nice jerseys with that logo.

Tue Jun 24, 2003 8:24 am

I've been out of the loop for a bit, so I just noticed the whole "Bobcats" thing.
If anyone else remembers, there was a CBA team with the same name (just before Isaah Thomas destroyed the league!). It was the La Crosse Bobcats out of La Crosse, Wisconsin, which were previously the Chicago Rockers, I believe, before they moved the team.
So, there's a bit of trivia that no one really wanted!

Wed Jun 25, 2003 12:40 am

very stupid name-bobcats.
all are stupid names flight-lol.
dragons-lol lol lol

Wed Jun 25, 2003 1:11 am

A Bobcat is a little excavator, why would you name a team after digging vechile! The logo is very much like Ohio Uni Bobcats logo IMO.
