Bobcats jerseys at Hornets games?

I was a Bobcats season ticket holder in 2010 when I lived in Charlotte.  I absolutely loved that team and have an authentic, autographed Tyson Chandler white Bobcats jersey.

I haven’t been to a Hornets game in a couple years... is it socially acceptable to wear Bobcats gear to a Hornets game?  Other teams do throwbacks, but I know the re-branding was a clean slate move.

Thoughts?

Heck yeah rock those out, those were some terrible seasons so you earned it.   Tyson was SO bad here though so it's funny lol.

It’s a really funny how I got the jersey, actually.

Me and some friends were bored one Saturday before that 2010 season, and we went to the team store to try and buy authentic jerseys because we were psyched about having season tickets and all that.

Of course, the Bobcats team store didn’t have anything like that for sale.  We were irritated but nobody stopped us when we walked up the steps from the store into the main concourse in TWC Arena.  

Once up there, we saw none other than MJ himself (and what appeared to be a large bodyguard of sorts) walking away from us.  My friend (who was a bit of an ass) yelled “Hey Jordan!” (I was extremely embarrassed)

”How come we can pay tons of money on season tickets but we can’t even buy real jerseys?”

Jordan didn’t say anything to us but he said a couple words to the bid dude.  The big dude walked up to my friend and told him to come with him.  Next thing I know, Robbie (the friend) comes around the corner and has 3 authentic, autographed jerseys.  Apparently the dude had them in a cardboard box and said “I better not see these on eBay.”

Still have mine after 8 years.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
