Hornets Team History

Hornets Primary Logo

The New Orleans Hornets have had a long and storied history, dating back to their inception in 1988. As the team has evolved over the years, so too has its primary logo. The original Hornets logo featured a basketball with yellow wings and an orange outline of Louisiana on top of it - representing both the state’s connection to basketball as well as its unique culture. This was later replaced by an updated version that kept many of these same elements but added two horns at either end for extra emphasis.

In 2002, when ownership changed hands from George Shinn to Tom Benson, there was also a change in logos: this time featuring more vibrant colors including purple and gold along with an image of Mardi Gras beads around the outside edge - paying homage to New Orleans' most famous celebration while still keeping true to their roots by maintaining some elements from previous designs such as Louisiana's outline inside the ball itself (albeit slightly modified).

Finally, in 2013 another update was made which included changing up some details like making all lines thicker while also adding more detail overall; such as incorporating fleur-de-lis symbols into each horn design - further emphasizing both Mardi Gras tradition (with purple/gold) but also regional pride due being one of Louisiana’s main symbols since colonial times. In addition, they decided to keep much of what people were used to seeing beforehand: namely having three circles intertwined together within a center circle that represent the unity between fans players & community alike – something that hasn't changed since day one! All said and done current iteration is definitely the best representation yet how far the organization comes from where started out thirty-plus years ago!
