According to CBS Sports, it looks like the team that was in existence in name from 1988 to 2002 will be returning to the front of jerseys in the Queen City after all...
The HQ guesses you could call it "bringing Hugo back..."
It was something that the team had considered thinking about...
In an interview with the The Charlotte Observer back in November, current Bobcats-soon-to-be-Hornets major domo Michael Jordan said he was open to the idea of reclaiming the Hornets surname for the team in his town.
"It's definitely an interest down the road, but right now it's the New Orleans Hornets," Jordan told the Observer. "We would definitely entertain the opportunity. That's as much as we can say right now. We've heard the community ask the question, and we would listen."
It also would be important for a bad team to try and find ways to reach out to the community... and this isn't a bad way to start...
Like the fans hadn't already thought about it...

The process should take about 18 months...
