Uniform Sneak Peek

I have an educated guess, simply based off what we know. These leaked templates, the Buzz City logo has been pushed extremely hard around the city, MJ seems to like purple over teal, pinstripes are back (blue/black colors are exclusively pinstripes), & they announced yesterday that they will wear the original throwbacks at some point.

Home-

'Hornets' White; purple/blue/black pinstripes

Away- '

Hornets' Purple; teal/blue/black pinstripes

Alt-

'Buzz City' Purple/Teal; unique design, no pinstripes

Throwbacks-

Original Charlotte Hornets Uniforms (5)

When they said the new uniforms were going to resemble the originals only updated I was hoping that meant they would say Charlotte and be white/teal. But since they're gonna have throwbacks it makes sense to switch it up with "Hornets" across the chest and use purple as the alternate. While they will still resemble the originals they will be modern and unique, giving a nice contrast against the throwbacks, making those even cooler for special occasions. Think about it, if they stuck with the originals and just did very minor tweaking it would diminish the throwbacks.

Uniform lineup-

Away-

Primary purple road uniform. Unique "Buzz City" alternate for 4-5 select road games; holidays, marquee games, etc.

Home-

White primary home uniform. Original Charlotte uniforms on 4-5 "Throwback Nights". Wear the original throwbacks and honor the original Hornets, bring in guys like Muggsy, Gill, LJ, Mourning, Rice, etc. Not sure if feasible, but would be insane to also have an original court made up for these nights.

Just my .02

Road games-

Purple uniforms standard. Buzz City alternate for 4-5 special games (holidays, at New Orleans, etc).

Home games-

White uniforms standard. Original Charlotte uniforms at 4-5 "Throwback Nights"honoring the original Hornets. Bring in guys like Muggsy, LJ, Zo, Gill, Rice, etc. Not sure if feasible, but would be sick to have that mid 90s court made up to use for these games.

I'm sure the uniforms are going to look stellar, and I understand they're trying to push the whole 'Hornets' thing, but they should've featured a 'Charlotte' away jersey. Just makes the most sense.

The original jerseys had 'Charlotte' on the Home and Away jerseys. Back then they wanted to push 'Charlotte', since Charlotte was a relatively unknown city. The Hornets out Charlotte on the map.

I could see them throwing in the old Charlotte uniforms on throwback night, but overall no complaints here, I can't wait to see them.

I really can't believe people are bitching about the Jersey not being completely the same as the ones used 20 years ago. Lol

The name, mascot, colors and records came back. STFU already with the complaining about everything not being completely the same. Geez

As for the sneak peak itself, looks good. I like the lettering and it saying Hornets is fine with me.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
