Pinstripes and pleats from the 1980s?
The Charlotte Hornets told fans in an email Friday the team will unveil new uniform designs Monday. The NBA is switching uniform makers for next season, from Adidas to Nike.
The changes could be as simple as adding a “Jumpman” logo patch, as it was previously announced the Hornets would be associated with Jordan Brand, a Nike division built around the marketing power for team owner Michael Jordan.
A remaining question – and it’s unclear if this will be resolved Monday -- is if the Hornets will be one of eight NBA teams allowed to wear “Classic Edition” uniforms as an alternate next season.
