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.
It was the style at the time
I think it was a popular team color combo in music videos
Hornets Starter jacket in like 93.
I'm a white kid in rural Tennessee. Haha absolutely loved it.
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.
Purple and turquoise fucking slaps is why
Best team logo at the time too.
Lotta Rockies and Florida Marlins fans in the 90s for that reason too
