🏟️NEW KITS, WHO DIS’?🏟️ This was the scene at Bank of America Stadium, as Charlotte FC unveiled “The Fortress Kit” in an exclusive launch party for season ticket members. The pattern pays homage to ‘The Crown,’ with silver details indicative of armor. @wsoctv | #ForTheCrown

In a statement, a #Hornets spokesperson said this, in part: “We are proud to back the Berman family and be a part of this larger group that is bidding to bring the WNBA back to Charlotte.”

NEW DATE: The season opener between the Charlotte 49ers and App State has been moved to Friday, Aug. 29 - one day later than its originally scheduled date of Aug. 28, school officials say. The two are scheduled to face off in the Duke's Mayo Classic at BOA Stadium. @wsoctv

48 hours later… The #Hornets welcome Mark Williams back. “After the other team aggressively pursued Mark, we made the difficult decision to move him. We have always held great respect for Mark’s talent, work ethic, and character.” @wsoctv | #HiveMentality

Here’s Miles Bridges on the finish… #Hornets | #HiveMentality

What. A. Finish. #Hornets | #HiveMentality

He’s back. #Hornets | #HiveMentality

A lot of new faces on the #Hornets roster coming out of the trade deadline. Head coach Charles Lee addressing the moves pregame: “Jeff and the front office did a good job of executing deals…that are going to help our team… Some tough phone calls to have to make though .”

RT @daringantt: With a four-man class, Luke Kuechly and Steve Smith left waiting for Hall of Fame call. But Kuechly will be an automatic…

Had to get through my own Q & A with Hickory native and #Eagles OL Landon Dickerson, justttt to make sure I was truly about that Carolina life. Verified.✅ What stood out even more? His tremendous pride in the wealth of talent coming out of the region. #SuperBowl | @wsoctv

A public service announcement from Weddington’s own and Eagles RB Will Shipley, ahead of #SuperBowl : “Shout out to the 704, baby! Y’all raised me…” @BigDubFootball | @wsoctv

SUPER BOWL LIX: Jordan Davis (#Eagles) and DJ Humphries (#Chiefs) are years apart, and yet their football journeys are intertwined through alma mater @ToCreek. “When somebody believes in you and you don’t believe in yourself, it can change your life tremendously,” Davis said.

About last night… #Hornets | #HiveMentality

RT @hornets: Mark your calendars for our next three games that will air on @wsoctv and @TV64! ➔ vs Bucks on 2/5 ➔ vs Mavs on 2/27 ➔ vs War…

THIS was #Panthers TE Tommy Tremble in 12 degree weather! 🥶❄️🧊 Tremble took the plunge, with his mother and brother, raising money for BrewAble - a non-profit creating meaningful employment for people with intellectual & developmental disabilities. They raised over $18K.

Hornets head coach Charles Lee on LaMelo Ball missing the cut for #NBAAllStar2025: “It’s unfortunate.” @wsoctv | #HiveMentality

Gameday. If you can’t make it to the Hive, you can watch #Hornets vs. #Clippers TONIGHT on TV 64! Tipoff at 7 PM.

The NBA just released All-Star reserves… No LaMelo. #Hornets | #HiveMentality

A young man destined for greatness… Shimei Ricks-Cook of Fayetteville St. University is this year’s recipient of the Rick Bonnell Memorial Scholarship. The award honors the late Charlotte Observer sportswriter, who covered the Hornets from its inaugural season until 2021.

UPDATE: The #Hornets announced LaMelo Ball will be OUT against the Clippers Friday, after an MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis of a left ankle sprain. Perhaps an encouraging sign, Ball will be re-evaluated in one week. @wsoctv
