The NBA unveiled all of the team’s City jerseys today, and the Charlotte Hornets will be returning to an old favorite.

The jerseys are mint with alternating gold and granite pinstripes. They originally wore a version of these in the 2020-21 season. They’ve changed the front wording from ‘Buzz City’ to ‘Charlotte’ and replaced an alternate ‘C’ logo on the waistband with a ‘704’ logo.
Along with the uniform comes a court. It’s the same court that the team has used during its other Mint City branding games.
We’ll see that court 10 times over the rest of the season. We’ll also see the Mint City uniforms on the road seven times.
The Hornets will wear the City Edition uniform for 10 home games and seven road games this season, beginning with the Saturday, November 16, contest against the Milwaukee Bucks at Spectrum Center. Additional home games where the City Edition uniform will be worn include Saturday, November 30, against the Atlanta Hawks; Saturday, December 7, against the Cleveland Cavaliers; Saturday, December 28, against the Oklahoma City Thunder; Monday, December 30 against the Chicago Bulls; Friday, January 24 against the Portland Trailblazers; Saturday, January 25 against the New Orleans Pelicans; Friday, January 31 against the Los Angeles Clippers; Saturday, February 1 against the Denver Nuggets and finally on Friday, February 7, against the San Antonio Spurs.
This is being called the final chapter of the Minted Uniform Series, meaning the team is going to move in a different direction after this season. I have no idea what that will entail.
