New Orleans Hornets Home Jerseys 2008-2009


This is my first post that talks about a team I've blogged about before. And that team is the New Orleans Hornets . :)

The Hornets have not been hot this early in the season, but their new threads are. If you look at the previous design, it was pretty plain, which was a disconnect to what New Orleans (and its popular Mardi Gras festival) was all about. The new jersey design now takes a different route-- it has multi-colored pin stripes and wider bands. The teal color stands out, and the purple is a bit understated. The gold has taken a backseat in this design though. This uniform reminds me of the old Charlotte Hornets unifroms, with the pin-stripes and narrow fonts.

The design will work because it's New Orleans. But if you take this design to, say Utah, it loses its flavor.
