The logo features the Hornets' Mardi Gras colors of teal, purple and
gold. It also includes several distinct New Orleans touches, including
brass instruments that acknowledge the city's rich musical history, as
well as a depiction of the wrought iron material commonly used in Big
Easy balconies.

2008 logo. The event was attended by NBA legend Clyde Drexler, New
Orleans Hornets second-year player Hilton Armstrong, Fort Wayne Mad Ants
head coach Kent Davison of the D-League and women's basketball legend
