Charlotte History

Part of the deal to move the "Hornets" name back to Charlotte is that the Hornets also keep the history of the previous Charlotte team. The Pelicans history and legacy only stretches back to the move to New Orleans, regardless of their name after the move. While appropriate to reference the historical context of the move, teams stats and performance in Charlotte should only appear on the Charlotte Hornets page. ∅BRIT 18:34, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would help if the talk page listed a reliable source for the transfer of the records. As for how to present it in the Wikipedia article, it may be useful to look at the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns article for a situation where a franchise's history was transferred. —C.Fred (talk) 18:45, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the Charlotte Hornets talk page. Some people have put some sources there. Records up until the team moved will be transferred to the new team. And anything after the move will be kept by this team. This is like the Ravens and Browns situation and like the SuperSonics situation will likely unfold. -DJSasso (talk) 18:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is correct, but it doesn't change the actual history of the team. The detailed team history for the Charlotte years should be cut back, but it can't be eliminated completely, as one recent edit did. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:07, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Once the proper sources are identified, the history of the Charlotte Hornets should be removed and replaced with a brief summary of the events leading to the teams relocation.--MarcusPearl95 (talk) 23:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've cut the Charlotte section back substantially, so it now provides some information of continuing relevance to the team: Shinn's founding of the franchise and the choice of "Hornets", the team's early success and later attendence woes, and the decision to move. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:45, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious statement

Paul had made it clear he would only sign with the Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers, or the Los Angeles Clippers

I tried to find some source that Paul was interested in the Clippers specifically (given the Clippers' history up to that point I am highly skeptical) but wasn't able to, just that he wanted New York or L.A. If someone can find some source that Paul was interested the L.A. market as a whole, that would be most excellent. Also, there was no info on the rejected Lakers deal (which is a huge event in this team's history, found some recent columns analyzing the nixed and the ultimate trade) so I added some there. hbdragon88 (talk) 09:51, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The president of this team is not Dennis Lauscha. It is David Griffin, and the GM spot is vacant. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1116802082462478337?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1116802512051478530&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpelicandebrief.com%2F2019%2F04%2F12%2Fpelicans-hire-david-griffin-make-anthony-davis-trade%2F Villageacules (talk) 01:57, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

I would just like to apologize for the mistake I made on a date. When it said that the Hornets became regarded as having suspended operations from 2002 to 2004, I thought it should have said 2014, not 2004, because that was when the Charlotte HORNETS became a thing again. I forgot about the Bobcats, who joined the league in 2004. But someone corrected my mistake and it is all good now. Karl Malone the Mailman (talk) 04:42, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pelicans official colors

@CharlesEditor23 The URL that you provided for reverting my edit (https://cdn.nba.com/logos/nba/1610612740/primary/L/logo.svg) only shows the Pelicans logo. According to their 2024–25 media guide, that you updated the article with, their official colors are:

PELICANS NAVY
PANTONE 289
100C/76M/0C/76Y
10R/35G/64B

PELICANS GOLD
PANTONE 465
13C/31M/63Y/12K
185R/151G/91B

PELICANS RED
PANTONE 186
2C/100M/85Y/6
206R/14G/45B

So, would you please let me know how you are determining the hex code equivalent? Assadzadeh (talk) 22:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Primarily that .SVG logo from the NBA.com URL reference and also Brand.NBA.com (you'll need to sign up for access) are my two sources for determining the hex code equivalents. I only linked to the media guide in the infobox & used it as a URL source reference for the color names & color designation orders (navy blue as the primary, gold as the secondary, red as the tertiary); not necessarily the hex color code equivalents. Does that answer your question? If not, I'm available to try to answer it in a better way. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The NBA publishes color codes so it is a very bad idea to get codes from SVG files. You are supposed to update colors in SVG if they are different from officially published codes. You know this yourself very well. – sbaio 06:59, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@CharlesEditor23 thank you for providing the link? to the guideline sheet and for changing back the HTML color code for red. The guideline sheet specifically provides the hex code (I think this is what you mean by "HTML code"), as opposed to just the Pantone number listed in the media guide. The reason I had initially changed the color was based on a Google search for the equivalent hex code of the Pantone number. However, after further research, I now realize that online converters provide different results. In some cases, they're close, but not exactly the same. So, I'm curious if you've verified the hex codes for the other NBA teams. If not, are you able to provide their guideline sheets and I'll verify them myself? Assadzadeh (talk) 16:55, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Assadzadeh Yes, that's what I meant by "HTML code". I have verified the hex codes for the other 29 National Basketball Association (NBA) teams. I'm in the process of updating the URL references for all 30 NBA team guideline sheets. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 18:05, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I just updated the URL for the Pelicans guideline sheet, based on what you provided, but if I got it wrong, then please feel free to correct it. Assadzadeh (talk) 18:25, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
