Throwback: Charlotte Hornets brand returns to Queen City

Throughout the Charlotte Hornets’ history, the team has seen many changes. One of these changes was when the team rebranded into the Bobcats, and then when they rebranded back into the Hornets almost ten years later.

May 20th, 2020, marks the six-year anniversary of the Hornets returning to Charlotte. Six years ago, the team rebranded itself back into the Hornets; this movement had a lot of support from fans.

Before rebranding back, Charlotte had not been known as the Hornets since the 2001-02 season. After that season, the franchise’s brand would move to New Orleans, and Charlotte would not have another team until 2004.
