Quick! What is the least sensical name in professional sports? Well the Utah Jazz of course. Since moving to Utah in 1979 from New Orleans, the Jazz has seemed severly out of place. New Orleans’ two decade long thirst for basketball was quenched when the Charlotte Hornets relocated in 2002. This left a vacancy in the basketball hotbed that is the Tarheel State. Along came Bob Johnson who was granted an expansion franchise and aptly named it after himself – the Bobcats. Now what clearly makes too much sense to happen is for these three franchises return their names, colors, logos, and uniforms, back to the rightful cities. The Jazz belong in New Orleans. The Hornets belong in Charlotte. After all there are Bobcats in Utah.
