The Hornets hit the scene in 1988, when a group of local Charlotte businessmen devised a plan to bring the college basketball-crazed city their own NBA team.
The idea was an instant hit—in their first season at the Charlotte Coliseum, the Hornets led the league in attendance and would repeat that feat seven more times in future years. With aces like Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson and Glen Rice on deck, the nineties were an exciting time to be a Hornet fan. We’re repping the glory days with this super-soft tee—in that famous Charlotte teal, of course.
