The jerseys, which feature Charlotte Hornets colors and primary logo on the crest along with a modified Checkers logo on the shoulders, will be available for auction immediately following the game to benefit the Checkers Charitable Foundation and the Charlotte Hornets Foundation.
Other Hornets Night merchandise, including hats, t-shirts, pucks and more, will be available for sale beginning with the Checkers’ Black Friday sale at their EpiCentre office and continuing throughout the game. Those who make a purchase of any kind at the EpiCentre on Friday will receive two free tickets to the Checkers’ game against San Antonio on Sunday, Dec. 21.
Festivities for the first-ever Hornets Night will include appearances by Hugo, the Hornets’ mascot, and the Honey Bees dance team. The first 1,000 fans to arrive will receive a commemorative puck. Fans who run the Charlotte Checkers 5K on the morning of the game (registration is still open) will receive a free game ticket.
