The Charlotte Hornets unveiled a new uniform for the 2018 NBA season today, and it’s another throwback to a classic design.
The new design pays homage to the white pinstripe uniform from the 1988-89 season that became synonymous with the Hornets identity. Unveiled in a short video through the team’s official app, the uniform appears in an old box TV after a montage of classic Hornets moments capped off by the slogan, “The Original is Back”:

As you can see, the pinstripes run vertical down the top while teal and purple trim outline the edges of the top and shorts.
