The dictionary definition for the word statement is, “a clear expression of something in speech or writing.” That happens to be quite fitting, considering a freshly-dressed Charlotte Hornets squad is looking to make a new kind of statement both on and off the court this season.
Revamped purple Nike Statement uniforms for the Hornets will officially be unveiled at the organization’s external Media Day on Monday, Sept. 30. Coincidently, this year also marks the 25th anniversary of the franchise’s introduction of the original purple classic jerseys, which will be worn on a handful of Retro Remix Nights throughout the season.
