I guess they had the best 90s colors if you just wanted random sports clothes.

That explains the Charlotte Hornets jacket my parents had.

I thought it was because they went to grad school there but you're right, that was the style of the time.

I was in middle school at the time and I had a kick ass pull over hornets starter jacket. I am from upstate NY.

Yep, someone gave me the hat. Didn't care about basketball but they nominated me to be a hornets fan

I was a Hornets fan back in the 90s, but I also lived in Charlotte, so it was a gimmie. I was pissed when Shinn not only moved them to New Orleans, but took the name with them. Hornet’s Nests are a symbol of Mecklenburg county history and we just let part of that heritage walk away with Shinn. I’m glad we finally got it back.
