Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the NBA’s existence in Charlotte and the Hornets have a few things planned for the special season.
A few weeks ago the team revealed that they’ll be bringing back their incredible uniforms they rocked during their inaugural season in 1988-89 until the 1995-96 season and they’re not stopping there.
The Hornets will rock the throwback looking uniforms for a minimum of six games this season when they host “Classic Night” at the arena and they’re going to have an incredible retro court to match for those games.
The court was designed to resemble the one they used at the Charlotte Coliseum from 1995-97 that features the original Hornets logo at midcourt with a trail leading to the sideline, free-throw lines as part of basketballs, as well as the teal cell pattern within the free-throw lanes, similar to the design they used from 1997-2002.
Both baselines will read “Charlotte Hornets” in the team’s classic font, while inside the three-point line there will be the secondary 30th anniversary logo which features a white “30” inside a teal cell with the years “1988” and “2018” on either side.
