I hate rating this logo so low but it was something that shouldn't have happened. Charlotte had their team with a popular logo that made Zo, Mugsy and Grand Mama household names in the 90's. But in 2004, Charlotte was awarded an expansion team and the team (some say the owner) chose this logo. My main problem with this logo is the bobcat is non descript and bland. Bobcats have a very distinct fur pattern and especially unusual face patterns. The logo shows none of that. To me this is just a cat. Could be any cat. Bobcats have big ears as well. To me if you're going to pick a bobcat for a logo, then make it a bobcat, not a housecat. WAYS 2 IMPROVE
There are rumors this whole identity may change since Michael Jeffery Jordan has taken ownership of this team, but for now they still are going to be known as the Bobcats. It seems a lot of teams come up with alternate logos that seem to outshine the main logo. The Bobcats are on this track. I like this logo. I think the 3rd logo combined with arching letters around the edges could be a winner. That looks like a bobcat. It shows the fullness of the cat's face, has more character, and blends nicely into the standard basketball in most NBA logos. A complete overhaul may be in the works though so hang tight.
