Thanks. Friendship is magic!
The New Orleans Limbos. Pretty much describes where this franchise has been for years.
Jazz...if the name wasnt already taken by a team in a city with little/no prior affiliation to said musical style lool
The Brass would fit
I like the Brass. I personally would go a different way with uniforms compared to what has previously been discussed. I would like the colors to be Navy blue, Brass/Gold, and white. (Notre Dameish). I would still do the Mardi Gras unis during Mardi Gras like they do currently. The navy,brass, white color scheme will always look good and would be a nice change from creole/teal. BigDub 81 if you see this I would love to see what you can do with it if it isn't too much trouble
i personally think the hornets are a good name...what type of name is the krew or brass for a sports team??
Hornets aren't a bad name. Its just not too fitting for a Nola Team. Since it will be a new owner, new team just think a fresh start is nice. Brass is very similar to a name like JAZZ. A little different more nola than typical nicknames
But the logo is so darn cool
Brass, Voodoo..or krewe
i like Brass.
but would be happy with virtually anything else. we need a total re-brand.
The Krewe everything else is super Nola cliche....plus we could wear the Mardi gras unis full time
Jazz.
Hawnits
I really think it should stay as Hornets, but Brass is a pretty sick name.
I like Brass best!!
@ATR22, I did a Brass concept that was the same as my Krewe concept. The only thing different was the name. A color change is simple but you would need a 4th color since white isn't technically considered a color in logo design. Mainly because white is either used within the logo or as an outline. Right now you stand at navy and gold. Take the 'NOLA trumpet' logo for instance, replace the purple for navy, gold for a brass gold and now what color would the letters be?
Here's what I was thinking when I posted that.
Home Uniform: White (obviously) with gold/brass numbering, navy outline (maybe other way around, Id have to see it)
Road uniform: Navy with white numbers, gold/brass outline
if that doesn't help you I trust your judgement on a 4th color and if you don't feel like doing it no worries
I would do a three way trade were Utah becomes the bobcats, Charlotte is contracted, and we get the rights to the Jazz and then ceremoniously bury it and stay the Hornets...is that too much to ask?
New Orleans Bourbon Streets?
I don't mind the Hornets name. What I'd like to see is a "reboot" of sorts. It's a black and gold town and wouldn't you know it... actual hornets are black and gold (well maybe a bit more yellow). Why not run with that? That'll give the New Orleans Hornets a touch of home. I'd really like to see something like that happen rather than a potentially lame name change.
BUMP.
I'm watching the all star "rising stars" game and this fool Kenny just said "The Charlotte Hornets are struggling down there" when he was referring to a Bobcats player. Just made me think this rebrand stuff may need to happen.
ETA: Are maybe it shows a rebrand won't change anything since Charlotte is still being referred to as the Hornets. :huh2:
sigh.............................................. ........ rebrand please
Rhythm is cool. Kewe is too. I thought of "Flavor". They could have shirts, unis, etc. that read NOLA Flavor. Be a bunch of god marketing synergies with food, beverage, local tourism bus.
I like Krewe and Brass. Flavor is a little off... Pun intended!!
New Orleans Cajuns. The arena will be the called the swamp and the mascot would look similar to the 49ers mascot. Lol
The Howitzers!
New Orleans Boulders
New Olreans Rampage
New Orleans Cobras
New Orleans Hammerheads
New Orleans Rush
New Orleans Prodigies
New Orleans Terror
New Orleans Plague
New Orleans Swamp Donkies
New Orleans Brass with Navy and brass/gold colors
I was joking before but for me it's Jazz or nothing, Hornets is as good as anything else probably better after seeing what other people suggest.
Oh my glob, some of these suggestions are horrible.
I'm just sick of all the Charlotte gear still being sold. Give us our own identity!
What I did here was I kept the purple/navy the team currently uses, lessened the bright gold for a subtle, richer one and opted for a slate green instead of a bright mardi gras green. The colors also pay homage to the slate green tiles that frame the outside of the arena and as a tie-in to the seating in the arena which share a similar palette.
Even though these would be the primary colors, the team could still get away with the MG uniforms they currently wear because the colors would change to the brighter richer shades. Pending the choice of name, I think this solves the problem of our uniforms and color scheme, each of which are unique in their own right as is our city and it's culture.

The New Orleans Flambeaus, Gamblers, Pirates, Acadians, Breakers, Pelicans, Dons, Dukes, Royals, Musketeers, Fleet, Armada, Rebels, Phantoms, Surge / Stormsurge, Bees(Bc the honeybee is out states insect), Swamp Dogs, Pilots / Riverboat Pilots, Jesters, Revelers, and Blues are some other names off the top of my head that I haven't seen listed that either have a connection to some historic or relevant part of our city or has been a team name of a team that once played here.

nice i like
Those are all good names, I like them. But for now we should be called the new orleans tanks
Brass seems a good name, although Voodoo would be much better if it was available.
Kick some, Brass!
Nice job with the unis bigdub
Pretty nice Unis bigdub. I personally prefer NOLA across the front of the Road uniform. Also, I'm leery about that green (kinda sea-foamy) plus the new cosmetic upgrades to the arena could possibly include a new outside finish as well as new seat colors
New Orleans Blues
