The Charlotte Hornets unveiled this season’s version of their City Edition uniforms, dubbed _Hoopers Paradise._
The uniforms are classic Hornets colors yellow and orange with blue and white trim. They are an homage to the birds-of-paradise flower, which was given its official name (Strelitzia) after Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. I recognize some of those words in her name. I might can see the connection.

The Hornets will wear the uniforms 12 times between now and the end of the season. The games:
* November 15 vs Thunder
* November 29 vs Raptors
* December 18 vs Hawks
* December 31 vs Warriors
* January 24 vs Wizards
* January 31 vs Spurs
* February 19 vs Rockets
* February 20 vs Cavaliers
* March 6 vs Heat
* March 21 vs Grizzlies
* March 26 vs Knicks
* April 10 vs Pistons
I personally like them. The City uniforms are supposed to be fun, so I like that they went completely away from the Hornets color palette. It’s a nice change of pace for a few games. Plus I’m a sucker for very bright, almost obnoxiously bright colors.
