Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte invented the Hornets, lost the Hornets, then got the Hornets back when the city refused to let the name belong to anyone else. These Charlotte Hornets rivalry shirts are built for Buzz City, the fanbase that brought back the teal-and-purple identity after a decade of being the Bobcats and never wanted to talk about it again.

Anti-Heat gear is the top item because Miami has been the Southeast rival Charlotte has run into in the playoffs more than anyone else and the bad blood from the 2014 and 2016 first-round losses still travels. Text or box, censored or fully explicit, in Hornets teal, purple, and white. Anti-Hawks designs cover the Atlanta chapter of the Southeast hate, anti-Magic tees handle the Orlando rivalry and anti-Wizards designs round out the Southeast Division grudges.

Charlotte Hornets fan gear for Buzz City. Wear it to Spectrum Center in Uptown, to bars in NoDa and Plaza Midwood, to watch parties anywhere across the Queen City and the Carolinas.

Larry Johnson dunking on people in the original Hornets era. Alonzo Mourning blocking shots before he was a Heat icon. Muggsy Bogues at 5'3" running an NBA team. LaMelo Ball doing things that don't appear in normal scouting reports. The teal and purple coming back to Charlotte because nothing else fit. Buzz on.
