What does everyone think?
I believe it looks ridiculous with that basketball belly.
It looks like it ate a basketball or is pregnant with one.
It would good to me if they had made it's body normal.
I don't know why teams think they have to incorporate a basketball into their logos somehow.
Remember the old Atlanta Hawks logo. I always thought is was perfect. Simple but perfect. Now look at it.

I dont mind the new Hornets logo and do think it's an improvement over the old one. I do think the basketball would have been better suited for the thorax instead of the abdomen area... and I never thought I'd use anything I learned in Entomology 101 in the real world :p

If I'm not mistaken I believe the NBA mandates that every team incorporate a basketball in their logo.

Is this for new logos only? I just don't recall my hometown Bulls ever having a basketball incorporated into their logo?

That would answer my question if it is true.
The hornets belly is still stupid looking to me.

I went on Paul Lukas' site and found this, evidently it's not a rule. Was in the WNBA though. Only teams without a ball are Chicago and San Antonio. Maybe the teams don't even realize they can change it. The belly ball logo is bad, in my opinion.

Thanks for the leg work.
