![]() ![]() The iconic pinstripes return in purple, green and blue, commemorating the first team in league history to wear them on a jersey. On the front of the jersey, the numbers are styled in the way of the current Hornets font, right justified on the front as a throwback to the Bobcats jerseys from ‘04-’09 and ‘12-’14, and the player name on the back honors the classic Hornets font.
