The Charlotte Hornets unveiled a new Classic Edition jersey on Wednesday to celebrate the franchise’s 35 year anniversary.
The jersey features a teal silhouette with multi-colored double pinstripes, paying tribute to the jerseys the team wore from 1997-2002.
“We’re pleased to introduce a new Classic Edition uniform to be worn as part of our celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the Charlotte Hornets inaugural season,” said Hornets President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield. “Throughout our history, the Hornets have been recognized for fashionable uniform designs, and we know our fans will be excited to see the look that our team wore from 1997-2002 back on the court in Charlotte.”
The Hornets will wear the uniforms for eight home games this season.
