New ticket sales are up 59 percent from last year and the Bobcats are also in
the NBA's top 10 for new season ticket sales for next season.
The rebrand is also creating opportunities for new sponsorships and
merchandising initiatives. The sales in team stores have doubled this summer
from where they were last year.
The Bobcats will officially become the Hornets again for the 2014-15 season.
雖然夏洛特山貓隊上賽季贏球不多，但是因為山貓隊已經競標成功並將改名回黃蜂，俱
