Charlotte’s 1st game as the Hornets is a black tie event

Charlotte’s team name is once again the Hornets. Tuxedos for everybody!

It’s the Charlotte Hornets’ debut and there’s a -- WAIT FOR IT -- buzz around Charlotte, because a) nostalgia and b) “Bobcats” was never a fun name for anybody. So their first game back is a classy event:

Tuxedo T-shirts. They're formal, but they let everybody know that you like to party.

Plus they have a hornet as a lapel pin!

Even Hugo the Hornet, now back in his hometown, got in on the dressy spirit:
