I would like to know the origin of the Charlotte Hornets team name and
the team colors.  How was the "hornets" chosen?  Who was involved? 
What other names made it to the final selection?  How were finalists
identified and then the final name chosen?  Also, how did the team
choose teal and purple as team colors.  Did they represnt some
qualities?  Were other colors considered?  Finally how much say did
the NBA haev with these decisions?  How much say will they have if
Charlotte gets another team.
