Well, I just returned from media day and the biggest news has to be the two new alternate looks the Hornets will display on special occasions this season.
Have a look at the pics in the posts that follow.

Alternate look 1:
This is not so much a special uniform as it is a whole new look for the players designed to thoroughly confuse the opponents:
Alternate look 2:
This is a completely new uniform design that reflects the team's new attitude.
You gotta love seeing that "NEW ORLEANS" across his chest!!!
Team Photo!
For Real!
LMAO :lol: :lol:
Baron, the man!
MASH!
Elden Campbell
I guess the jerseys will grow on us. They look a little plain to me at first. How were they in person, say-what?
I believe #55 is Hamilton..the new guy.
Who doesn't?Quote:

I could not find Moiso, so guessed at #11. Any word on why Moiso and Bullard were not in the team picture?
O.K. let me see if I can get the names matched to the players:Quote:

Back row: Stacey Augmon (2), P.J. Brown (42), Elden Campbell (5), Thomas Hamilton (55), Jamaal Magloire (21), Robert Traylor (34), Lee Nailon (54), Paul Silas
Front row: Kirk Haston (35), Jamal Mashburn (24), Courtney Alexander (32), Baron Davis (1), David Wesley (4), Terrell McIntyre (11), Bryce Drew (17), George Lynch (9)
Matt Bullard (50) and Jerome Moiso (6) are not pictured and were not present.
I like the jerseys and I'm really glad they are not too busy or "new wave". Those colors work better as trim, rather than being the dominate color of the jersey (for my taste).
Thanks for the pics. Maybe they should do a team portriat in the clown unis, by an aclaimed clown painter on black velvet.
Here is just a wider shot showing the owners and coaching staff.
I wouldn't call them plain - just understated. They did look good though.Quote:

Team interview & promo areas.
Some of the guys as they move from station to station.
The main practice floor:
The unis do look better in the close up shots. I guess from a distance, the "trim" around the numbers fades into the white. Although, like I said, as long as it says "NEW ORLEANS," I am ecstatic about them!
Who is #55? Is #11 Moiso (although he looks a little small) (i.e. did he change from #6 to #11?) Also, I do not see Bullard. Hmm... Harvey? Inside scoop?
Tracot Traylor looks like he is in shape for the first time i his life. He is going to kill guys. He looks that good he might have a run at PJs starting spot. Remember he has taken just after Vince in a very good draft year. The knock on him was always about his weight and stamina. I know it sounds silly to say he could start but he could scare the crap out of PJ.
Tractor did looks alot slimmer, but is it because he is standing next to 55??Quote:

I think he looks like he is in pretty good shape also. That is great news for him and for the Hornets. However, I do not think Brown has anything to worry about.
Are those white shoes by any chance Baron's new sigs??
Thorton Melon did say, "if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people". Traylor should stick next to 55 whenever a picture is being taken.
Excellent call trav hailton does seem to be carrying as many kilos as two or three wesleys
Believe me, Tractor is BIG!
The guy can be a major force under the basket. Now is the time for him to step up. He says he's ready to play and knows he has to be a force in the paint.
Woah, since when did they sign ShreK???? (#55)
Mosio is not a US citizen. He was excused from the media day to attend to some personal issues involving passports or something like that. I saw him about a week ago and he looks to be in great shape. I know for a fact he has been training at the Alario Center for a while and is working his butt off. I think he will show marked imporvement this year.
Bullard was not there due to failing his physical (bad back). I would be very surprised if he EVER suits up for an NBA game again.
Hey, the trim looks like purple, gold, and green. Ok, well, purple, gold, and teal. It does kind of remind me of the old Jazz colors. Of course, the colors are minimized versus the rest of the uniform, but it's kind of cool.
If you look at the side of the uniform, it does look like Mardi Gras (or Jazz) colors. Maybe they will just change them one year when we are not looking. I don't see any good reason not to do that, but all that said I like the new uniforms more than I thought when I first saw the graphic uniforms a couple weeks ago.
Does anyone know what the new basketball court will look like? I assume it will have one of the new logos in the center.
Thanks for the pictures, and i like the new unifroms especially the words New Orleans.
Hey Say, they let you in as media no problem, huh? Thanks for the pics. I hope Spongey gave you a few well deserved points. ;)
Hey Guys,
Does anyone think that the Hornets will change from teal to green on their uniforms in the future? I think that would be cool. I am not a fan of the teal.
Could happen bayoubengal44, I am not a fan of teal either. But, we will have to live with it this season and the next at least probably. I would think we will see a change in the future though. Had they not done as well in Charlotte with the merchandising of the Hornets logo and teal IMO it would have changed already.
I think Shinn said the NBA would not let them change teal to green this year. Shinn said the NBA said that they made enough changes in one year. They added New Orleans, gold, and got rid of the pinstripes on the jerseys. That was a lot of changes in one year. He said he wanted to change it to green. I look for the Hornets to change from teal to green no longer than two years from now. What does everyone think?
