Charlotte Hornets unveil new uniforms

The Charlotte Hornets today unveiled the uniforms to be worn by the team in its return to NBA action for the 2014-15 season. The white home and purple road uniforms are joined by a teal alternate uniform that can be worn in either location.

The home and road uniforms feature the word “Hornets” on the front, while the alternate jersey says “Charlotte.” Each of the uniforms feature several elements tied to the history of the uniforms used by the original Hornets, including the use of stripes, the crossover-style V-neck collar and the placement of a logo on the waistband of the shorts.

Fans will be able to begin pre-ordering jerseys in August at the Hornets Fan Shop. Jerseys are expected to arrive in late September.
