The Hornets’ classic court for 2018-19 is so good you’ll want to grab your Starter jacket and hug Grandmama

HUGO AT MID COURT!

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

The Hornets are rolling out a special court design in honor of the NBA being 30 years in Charlotte during the 2018-19 season, and it’s perfect.

OK, perhaps I should have said almost perfect — because the Spectrum logo is the only off thing about the design. But they’re the sponsor, and the building is named after them, I get it.

There’s so much to love about the classic Hornets’ court.

  • Hugo at mid-court.
  • The basketballs at the top of the key.
  • The two-tone paint gradient.
  • The key being a hive design.
  • That swoosh that leads to Hugo telling you that he’s the dude who runs the place.

Who knows if the Hornets will actually make the NBA Playoffs this upcoming season, but they’ll look stylish as hell doing it.
