10:28 AM ET 06.03 | The Charlotte Bobcats appear to be contemplating a change to their uniform colors, but a team spokesman says that has nothing to do with a potential nickname change. Pictures circulated on the Internet Friday night of a Bobcats cap tied to the 2012 draft. Most of the cap looks like the Bobcats' current blue primary color. The bill is a new, lighter shade of blue. The only orange in that cap is the small "Charlotte" stenciling. There has been a grassroots effort of late, lobbying the Bobcats to acquire the Hornets nickname from the New Orleans Hornets. Hornets owner-to-be Tom Benson has said he wants to change his franchise's nickname once the sale closes. That closing is expected soon, once an arena-improvement bill passes the Louisiana legislature.

New Orleans can give the "Hornets" moniker back to Charlotte and then rename themselves the New Orleans Hurricanes.

Or give 'em back their original name, the Jazz and make Utah pick a name that makes sense. Because when I think of jazz music I always think of Salt Lake City!

Agreed, give the Jazz back to NO, give the Hornets back to Charlotte, and let Utah become something new...(Mormons?)

The Utah names sounds good to me.
I would like to see N.O. get their original name back.
And how about the Charlotte Bobcats?
