<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A new chapter in Hornets history was unveiled today at the Alario Center when Tyson Chandler emerged from the locker room wearing a familiar home white uniform with a new twist &ndash; a Fleur de Bee patch. Designed by Hornets Executive Officer of the Board Chad Shinn and consultants from the NBA and Adidas, the patch will be worn on the team&rsquo;s home and road jerseys this season and illustrates the passion the entire organization has for the people of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans.

Long associated with the Crescent City, the fleur de lis has taken on additional significance post-Katrina as a symbol of the region&rsquo;s recovery. As an adaptation of that famous symbol, the Hornets&rsquo; Fleur de Bee speaks directly to the connection this team feels with the city and its proud heritage.

&ldquo;The patch is a symbol of the pride we take in this community, and demonstrates our desire to become part of the fabric of New Orleans,&rdquo; said Shinn. &ldquo;We are constantly looking for ways to best connect with our fans, and we felt very passionately about adapting one of this city&rsquo;s most treasured symbols to a mark this connection.&rdquo;</div></p>

 

Someone must have had a long night on Bourbon Street when they came up with this idea and thought it was clever.</p>

 

so is this the New Orleans Saintly Hornets? what's up with this?</p>

 

I like it!!!</p>

 

It's a nice concept. It's just a patch they'll wear on the uniforms, right? Not a new logo, correct?</p>

 

I reckon it looks sick.

 

it reperesents the city, we see those Saint looking logos all over the place.</p>

 

I love it. Its symetric(something I want in a logo), nice colors(regular NO colors) and the design is sick.</p>

 

Looks pretty good with me it represents the city.</p>
