Several
hours ago I made what seems to be an all to frequent trip to Aventura
mall to go shop for some new indoor basketball shoes due to lack of
padding and comfort ability of my old basketball sneakers. As I was
shopping for sneakers I noticed something on the Mitchell&ness
shirt rack in Champs I noticed that they had a bunch of cutoff
t-shirts of many different teams suchs as the
Heat,Sonics,Bulls,Knicks and Raptors. This compelled me to check for
Charlotte Hornets gear and not only did they have Charlotte Hornets
gear they had a Larry Johnson shirt as pictured in the middle I
wasted no time in buying it along with a hat.
When
shopping for some new basketball shoes I wanted something light,
comfortable and stylish. This led me to purchase the Adidas Crazy
quick in teal and purple also pictured above. What is it about that
combination of Teal and purple? What did Alexander Julian know about
those colors that we didn't? Maybe it was that something so gaudy
that made such a statement was part of an NBA uniform and when that
uniform spoke it always said boldly “This Is Charlotte”.
It's
been a horrendous 2 season in Charlotte but I like any other
Charlotte basketball fan I am looking forward to the future with a
good young nucleus of players we have building with guys like Kemba
Walker, Michael Kidd-gilchrist, Bizmac Biyombo and now Cody Zeller.
Free agency along with the possibility has me realistically having
hopes for the franchise in the CLT for the 1st time in a
while.
The
2013-2014 Season will be a season of excitement, development but the
2014-2015 season will mark the rebirth of one of the NBA's more
iconic franchises and the return of Charlotte basketball's identity.
Most importantly though it will mark Charlotte's return to the NBA
playoffs and for people like me who play basketball daily that teal
and purple being relevant to today’s NBA will be a great feeling
when I wear the city on my Teal and purple Adidas sneakers.
They said that colors at times represent a message,logo,or history of significance to a place or destination.The originality of its colors..could never be replace by any other color or design.The same holds true to the original "Charlotte Hornets" with there teal and purple colors.They are irreplaceable..So say good bye to the "Bob Cats"..and bring back the teal and purple ...and the hornet logo back where you belong.Welcome back home"Charlotte Hornets.I enjoy the article a lot. Dad.
