Hornets To Wear Classic Edition Uniforms In 2017-18 Season
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Hornets will be wearing the vintage pinstripe uniform on three occasions during the 2017-2018 season.
The Hornets and seven other teams will be permitted to wear “Classic Edition” alternate uniforms and the Hornets will be the only team with Jordan Brand uniforms.
Clothier Alexander Julian designed the original uniforms in 1988.
The current design will be teal and feature the original Hugo logo, a crossover v-neck and mutli-colored pinstripes in royal blue, light blue, purple and green.
Charlotte will wear the classic uniforms for three home games in 2017-2018:Â November 15 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, December 23 against the Milwaukee Bucks and January 13 against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
“Since we brought the Hornets name back in 2014, our fans have practically been begging for us to
wear a version of the original Hornets uniform,†said Hornets President & COO Fred Whitfield. “We could not be more excited to give them what they want and to see the historic pinstriped, teal Charlotte uniform back on an NBA court.â€
The Hornets Mobile App is running an enter-to- win contest in which five users will be
selected to win a Classic jersey of one of the five Hornets starters and a pair of Jordan Super.Fly 2017 shoes.
