I'd wager that Smith already picked a name and this is fan service and engagement... Blizzard, Venom, Outlaws, Mammoth, HC, and Yeti are the final 6 right? Color wise, enough difference from the Charlotte Hornets to go with a "bee" logo if they opt for Venom.I believe the latest poll ended 6/20 so a name could have been selected and hasn't been revealed officially.
Could be waiting for logo to be finalized and merch made before announcing
Collectors items.Wait... the jerseys weren't available to purchase until now?
That seems pretty ridiculous even recognizing that demand is likely lower given that everybody knows that their real sweaters get unveiled next year.
