So we wanted to try something fun! I’m sure all of you have heard the motto for the B**Cats this year, “Tougher, Faster, Stronger.” With that being said we wanted to hear everyone’s opinion on what the motto should be for the Charlotte Hornets when they return to the Hive!

Just comment on here or send them to us on Facebook & Twitter  and we will then make another post of all the submissions and put them on a poll! The winner will obviously be the one with the most votes and we will do something special with it 😉

With the NBA trade deadline coming very fast and arriving this Thursday at 3pm the B**Cats have some moves they should be making in the near future if they do indeed wish to make this team “Tougher, Faster, Stronger”!
The recent developments with Ben Gordon and his increasing disrespect for Dunlap has caused the organization to consider his welcome “worn –out” in Charlotte.

Link to Gordon flare-up story: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/02/14/3856178/source-bobcats-gordon-dunlap-involved.html

With Gordon getting paid a hefty 12.4 million this year and a negotiated 13.2 million next year. He ironically only averages 12.6 PPG this season and not so impressive 2.2 APG & 1.9 RPG. So the B**Cats are looking to trade him to another team and hopefully get rid of an extra Shooting Guard

.

One of the options being rumored is the possibility of trading him for Kris Humphries of the Nets ( you might know him better as the soon to be X-husband of Kim Kardashian) . Kris gets paid around the same amount as Ben and though he does average a little less baskets per game (6) this season, he could be a much needed boost to our very weak post game.

Another option being explored is the center Andre Bargnani from Toronto. He has a very weak defense and rebound game but has a very good perimeter shot and averages 14.8 points per game. This is also a good deal for the pockets of the B**Cats because he is only getting paid 10.7 in Toronto for next season if they keep him. A problem with him is the fact that he’s missed 79 games in the last two-plus years.
So the question we are coming to you with is “What should the B**Cats do with ‘Ol Ben?”

Information is coming and it is coming fast. We have been on the phone with Charlotte Bobcats all morning trying to find the answer to “If we buy season tickets today would we be able to participate in the survey?”. The answer to that question is YES! 

The other thing I was told, is that there WILL be a SURVEY going out to the CITY in a few days asking the same question. I was then informed that season ticket holders’ opinion will be looked at “differently”. Which I perfectly understand because you do not want to anger the people who are already supporting you. 

I then had a wonderful conversation with the Bobcats’ employee. I told him who I was. I also thanked him and the Bobcats for putting out this survey and I let him know that we are Bobcats fans. He said that he knew about our event last Saturday and that if anyone wanted to speak with him about seasons tickets to call in. He also told me that a lot of the season ticket holders who were calling in were saying that they wanted the “Hornets” name back. 

He was really excited to hear that the Bring Back the Buzz guys were fans of the team and I told him that I would be at the game tonight! We then talked about Haywood not being the answer, Cousins trade rumors and Rudy Gay trade rumors. All and all it was awesome to have some positive interaction with the our franchise.

Last month Steve Jones of Creative Loafing Charlotte wrote an article about why the Hornets should not return to Charlotte. Well, needless to say he received a ton of backlash when we posted it on here…even from his own nephew Jamie Jones. 

Enough to convince him to wanna hear our side. Well, earlier this week I had an interview with Steve Jones (great guy), telling him about our movement, explaining to him it’s importance and everything else. 

Now, Steve just told me that it was posted but also that there where some mistakes that happen when it was given to the editor.

The Mistakes Are as Follows

I am the “Co-Founder”, could not have done this without my brother Evan.

I was originally asked about the excitement ofwww.bringbackthebuzz.com , our twitter, and blog taking off. When it went through editing, that somehow got changed to me being asked about We Beelieve: Charlotte…take back your Hornets! as if it were mine instead of John Morgan’s page (We BeElieve not We Believe…John and myself had a laugh over that one)

It also made Steve seem like he was angry , but in reality he was a really cool guy and fun to talk to.

The important thing is that we got some PR, it mentions the SWARM Time Warner Event, and gets us some ATTENTION BEFORE WE SWARM!!!!!

Instead of giving you a countdown “9 Days image” we figure we’d give you this and ask you to like and share!

The following images are once again by the wonderful graphic designer down there in New Orleans, BigDub. The image on the left is a jersey that one of our followers, Jason Gibson requested for him to make (suppose to look like the current Cats jersey) and I actually really like it.

The image on the right is a concept of what the new Charlotte Hornets 2.0 court would potentially look like. He asked me what I thought should be included and I told him. So if there is something about the court you do not like (it is probably my fault). I told him the honeycomb patter on the court and I was always a big fan of the trail from the stinger at half court….well ENJOY! and share once again Thanks to Big Dub

Jersey and Court concept!

Well for the past few weeks we have been working with Rollin BigDub Garcia (the guy behind all the wonderful updated Charlotte Hornets Logos) trying to figure out a way to redesign our logo. When our first logo was created by me wife she did not have a great deal of time, the attention grew so fast and we wanted to have something out quickly people would identify with and recognize.The first one will always be special to us because it reminds us of when Charlotte first became excited about this idea, and my wife was able to add a personal Charlotte touch by making the big “B” shaped like the #13 for Bobby Phills. Now that we have kind of solidified ourselves as “Bring Back the Buzz” we wanted something that would capture the throwback 90s feel of our first logo but at the same time excite our followers with a bit more of a Charlotte feel. Thanks to Big Dub I feel like we have done that and I hope you love it!
