    It will happen. Probably not next year but in the next year or two Hugo is coming home. The B**cats organization has been sending out polls to season ticket holders and casual fans. Choices are Hornets, B**cats, Flight, & Dragons. Hornets has won every single independent poll I've seen by a very wide margin. Several former players & certain local politicians have come out in favor of the name change. Local reporters are also writing very positive articles about the movement.

    Send the name home. Any New Orleans fan who still mourns the fact that the Jazz (the all-time best match between a city and its franchise name) remains marooned in Salt Lake City (making it the all-time worst match between a city and its franchise name) should 100% support returning the Hornets name to Charlotte as soon as they want it.

    Brand confusion would be the biggest reason. I highly doubt next season the name Hornets will be used. I don't think the rebrand for them would be fast tracked. I would be surprised if Charlotte started to use the Hornets name prior to the start of the 2015-2016 season.

    My thoughts exactly. But as far as giving the name back to Charlotte, I don't really see why not. Unless there's some trademark roadblock in there somewhere.

    How will I feel when I see another franchise with our identity?

    Help me out, Atrocitus:

    Old fan. Tired fan. I want to believe.
