Hornets to Feature a New Classic Edition Uniform for 2023-24 Season

New threads are on the way for the Hornets.

To honor the 35th Anniversary of the inaugural 1988-89 season of the Charlotte Hornets, the organization will have a new classic edition uniform.

“After having so much fun with our 30th Anniversary celebration five years ago, we’re excited to commemorate our 35th Anniversary next season,” said Hornets President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield in a press release. “We’re especially looking forward to our collaboration with the Charlotte Museum of History to help tell the story of our franchise over the last 35 years.”

The uniform will be unveiled at a later date but the Hornets did show off the 35th Anniversary logo which is a nice combination of the past and the present.

As mentioned by Whitfield, the Hornets also announced that to help celebrate 35 years of professional basketball in the Queen City, they have begun a joint project with the Charlotte Museum of History.

"The “Hive at 35” exhibit will include interactive spaces, a timeline of Carolinas basketball history, and plenty of artifacts, from the original teal-and-purple Hornets jerseys and game-worn shoes to commemorative items from the team’s inaugural season and other milestone events. The exhibit will open to the public on October 10 and will be included as part of regular museum admission. All Hornets Hive Society Members will receive a single-day pass for free museum admission to see the exhibit."
