Tom Benson, who has agreed to purchase the Hornets for a reported $338
millio
n, wants to change the name of the team to something more identifiable with
the city of New Orleans.
The name “Hornets” moved with the team when previous owner George Shinn re
located it from Charlotte to New Orleans, and when the Jazz moved from New O
rleans to Utah in 1979, the name went with the team then too.
"We need to find a name like (Jazz)," Benson told the Times-Picayune. "Wheth
er we can get that or (they) let us use that, you've got to know we're worki
ng on it. We'd like to change it tomorrow. We have not gotten that approved,
but we're not letting up on it, either. Because we've got a good relationsh
ip with the commissioner and his people and we're going to be on them daily
to do something."
The Jazz organization did not respond to an inquiry from the Salt Lake Tribu
ne asking if it would consider selling the name to Benson.
But Utah coach Ty Corbin said, “I’m sure it’ll work itself out, but we ca
n’t give up our name.”
The Tribune noted that in the Hornets’ first season in New Orleans, one of
the team’s owners said he wanted to bring the Jazz nickname back.
"I’m willing to sit down and talk about it," late Jazz owner Larry Miller s
aid at the time.
The Jazz are now run by Miller’s son, Greg Miller. | c******y
