Jan. 17 is What If? Night presented by Novant Health, and for one night only the Checkers are rebranding as the Queen City Grits!

The theme of the night poses the question - what if the winner of the name-the-team contest in the 50s was Grits, as suggested by one local fan looking to honor the southern delicacy.

As part of the rebrand, the team will be wearing specialty Queen City Grits jerseys for the night, with the game-issued and game-worn sweaters being auctioned off online. Replica versions of the jerseys - along with a full line of Queen City Grits merch - will be available at the team’s merch store.

Fans can purchase a special package that includes a Queen City Grits shirt and a ticket to the game for just $55. Click here to purchase!
