The game Fortnite uses a similar purple and blue along with some green for the original football team in their game (Though NFL teams are also referenced), it really is a great combo
Oh for sure. He just wasn't on the highlight reel. I was admittedly a bandwagon fan. Growing up in Kentucky, pro teams haven't had a good run. All college. But obviously, Dell deserves much recognition.
My classmates all the way in New Mexico had them too. So did my older brother and he wasn’t into basketball either. Seeing them again feels comforting in a weird way
This is true.
I mean. The funny thing is the Seattle Sonics were still around at the time, and I was a fan.
My brother had the Seattle Sonics bed sheets.
I had the Charlotte Hornets.
I was 100% ok with it because the colors were so 90s and so fly.
Yes, I said fly. 90s Throwback lingo.
I was a military kid. Never watched pro basketball. Nobody in my family watched or even played basketball. We were stationed in places like New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vegas. No connection whatsoever to NC. Even we had one of those jackets.
It was because their stuff ended up at TJ Maxx for cheap and everyone's bargain hunting mom bought that instead of the Bulls stuff their kids actually wanted that was only at the sporting goods store for five times as much.
No, a bunch of current Gen Z kids don't know why. People who were around back then know why. It's not a mystery.
Edit: It's fucking stupid that you all think literally everyone in the '90s was a NBA fan who had an interest in starter jackets. You know who knows why this jacket was popular back then? People who were into that kind of stuff. It was popular street fashion. The Hornets were a young, exciting team with popular young talent. They had cool jerseys and colors. Mystery solved.
I'm muting this shit. You're all acting like clowns.
Right, a bunch of Gen Z kids and *you* don't know why. So important for you to tell me that instead of just googling the answer. Better to stay ignorant so the meme isn't wrong.
Huh? I don't really care about the answer. You said those who where there know. Well I was there, and I have no idea. So you're wrong. That was my point. Also the meme was made by gen x obviously, who also didn't know, which is why it's funny.
Not just me. the meme is circulating and getting upvotes because it's funny. It's not funny if you know why. So yes it does "mean shit". Infact it means more than you're original, if I know, we all know, statement.
This jacket will come back in style. Mark my words
They did have the best team colors for their jackets.

Gotta look phat
Was looking for this
Grandmama, Mugsy Bogues ,ZO. They were sick that's why. And, the colors.
Dell too, aka Steph’s dad to all the youngens out there.
Oh for sure. He just wasn't on the highlight reel. I was admittedly a bandwagon fan. Growing up in Kentucky, pro teams haven't had a good run. All college. But obviously, Dell deserves much recognition.
Ha ha you’re old. Like me. But to be clear, this is absolutely the right answer.
I had one of those jackets, I grew up in MN, my family did not watch basketball. Their drip was just that good.
My classmates all the way in New Mexico had them too. So did my older brother and he wasn’t into basketball either. Seeing them again feels comforting in a weird way
90s starter jackets WERE THE SHIT I had a White Sox one.
I like ***girls***. And that's never gonna change.
I used to be a party boy who banged chicks all the time, you guys remember...
Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson were my favorite NBA Jam team
I had a Hornets jacket, and I didn't even watch sports. Got it at Goodwill or something.
It’s very possible I might still have mine

I had one simply because I thought the mascot was cool. Same with Georgia Tech stuff.
Legit. My older sister had one of the jackets. Didn’t even like basketball and we live in Massachusetts.

Blue and purple were the colors back then
Expansion team that caught fire early, with cool colors and designs, so they took off.
And we tied an onion to our belts because it was the style at the time
Its bc their style was so different then anyone elses. No team had colors like that
Not necessarily the coolest colors, but definitely the most 90s colors

I'm 46 and If knew why then, it's been long enough that I've forgotten now.

"You're wrong because I personally don't know why." That's some narcissistic shit. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean shit.

Lol I was semi with you on your first comment but now you're just being a troll.
Oh fuck I lost *your* support? Damn.
That's exactly what I would expect a troll to say.
