Charlotte Hornets Jerseys
The Charlotte Hornets range covers everything from a light everyday layer to a heavier display piece. What follows is a plain breakdown of which is which.
Colourways change with the season, so the product grid is the live version of the catalogue. Sizes run S–XXL across men's, women's and youth cuts.
Short answer: How do you choose between the three Charlotte Hornets jerseys, and what size should you order? Work out how often it gets worn first and what size you actually need — that one answer rules out two of the three builds before you compare anything else.
Key facts about Charlotte Hornets
The franchise opened in 1989 and held teal-and-purple for most of its existence,… — the line that settles it on Charlotte Hornets.
Charlotte Hornets jerseys: three builds, one colourway
| What you are choosing | How it feels | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Light printed build | Breathable mesh, flat graphics, relaxed cut | Weekly wear, game days, layering |
| Mid-weight swing build | Softer fabric, structured shoulder, taped seams | Everyday wear that still looks sharp on a hanger |
| Heavy display build | Denser mesh, ribbed trim, embroidered detail | Collectors and display |
| Youth cut | Scaled proportions, lighter fabric | Younger supporters, smaller sizes |
The teal and purple colourway on Charlotte garments is the one to check against the product photo; the rest render slightly differently on screen.

Full breakdown
Read this before choosing an era
The franchise opened in 1989 and held teal-and-purple for most of its existence, including the period after the club moved to New Orleans and then returned. The later designs replaced purple as the accent with a deeper navy-teal. Teal is the through-line; how much purple sits beside it is what tells you which chapter you are looking at.
Frequently asked questions
7questions
1What sizes does the Charlotte Hornets range come in?
S–XXL across men's, women's and youth cuts, with S–XXL Big & Tall on selected builds. The size selector on each product page lists what is actually in stock.
2Which Charlotte Hornets build should I buy for regular wear?
The light printed build. It is the most breathable and the easiest to wear for hours, and it survives washing better than the heavier alternatives.
3Are Charlotte Hornets jerseys teal or purple?
Both, in most designs — teal is the base and purple is the accent. Later designs reduce the purple and lean on a deeper navy-teal, which is the quickest way to tell a newer cut from an older one.
4What size Charlotte Hornets jersey should I get for a 6 foot player?
A 6 foot player usually lands in a large in the mid-weight build. Measure chest width across the flat garment and double it, then match that number to the size chart on the product page. If the chest measurement sits between two sizes, take the larger one: the mid-weight build has less give than the light printed one.
5Can I wear a Charlotte Hornets jersey over a hoodie?
Yes, and the light printed build is the one to pick for it. It sits closer to the body and does not bulk up at the shoulders, so a hoodie still fits underneath. The mid-weight and display builds are cut wider through the chest and read better on their own.
6Is there a Charlotte Hornets jersey that works as a gift without knowing the size?
The custom name and number route is the safest one. Choose the size from the chest measurement rather than from height, and leave the name field open if you are buying for someone whose spelling you want to confirm.
7What colourway should I get for a Charlotte Hornets game day?
Home colourway is what most people reach for on a game day. The colourway itself is fixed by the team, so the only real choice is the season design, and those rotate year to year.
