Did NBA's Charlotte Bobcats plaigarize Bandits' logo and colors?

Look around their site... the logos and colors are almost exact. Although they call their purple "bobcat blue"... I dunno...

The full logo they sell on shirts looks way too much like the Bandits' logo.

Your right, it kinda does. It does'nt matter though the name is stupid as it is. Its like a high school team. But hell if the blue was black i'd think the bandits joined the NBA.

LOOKA UP the comp that dezinged the the logo it might of been the same as did the bandits ...

The font is wrong. The concept is close but it isn't plagerized.

I remember a post on lacrosse-network a while back that some other team called the Bandits had a logo that was almost the exactly the same. I can't remember the sport, but I think it was some minor league hockey team, possibly a roller hockey team...this is from quite a while ago so I don't remember to much detail.

Yeah, but this isn't some minor league team. This is an NBA team, where this logo's going to bring in tons of cash. It just seemed all too similiar for being a brand new professional franchise.
