    Those are awful. Cougars would make more sense than Bobcats.

    Flight just plain sucks.

    And Dragons sounds like an elementary school mascot.

    I could live with Dragons - although that is childish as hell.

    The other two are terrible and I'll be sick if they use either.

    Bobcats is ridiculous and Flight sucks too.

    I still liked the Charlotte Venom the most but dats out the freak'n window. Venom allows you time later to pick the mascot (Spider, Snake or whatever) and sounds off da hook too. Oh well.

    agreed... out of the 3 I'd most rather have Dragons - Bobcats and Flight blows goats.

    It'll probably be Flight...It's one of the main things that pertains to North Carolina out of those 3.

    Dragons I do like, but has nothing to do with NC.

    Bobcats could relate to NC but sucks, sounds like PeeWee football to me.

    Flight relates to NC the most but just sucks as a name.

    Spiders was cool and I do like Venom.

    They really need to give this more thought.

    All three of those eat a bag of dicks.

    Bobcats, are you kidding me? As in Bain School Elementary Bobcats out in Mint Hill.

    Dragons, like puff the magic dragon . plus i think the logo would be too similar with the Wizards "wizard', like dungeons and dragons. no

    Flight. that sounds like a wnba team. plus its not like we are known for charlotte douglas airport. yea U Ass Air is here but they suck and are too expensive-like the new teams tickets will be.

    The problem we have is that the team has to be Charlotte___instead of Carolina___. Many more posibilities with Carolina in front. but seeing as how the state has done jack shit for us we should put Charlotte on the front.

    Dragons have a medeival theme with the Queen City and the Knights... That's about the only Tie I can make... and it's a stretch
