Charlotte Hornets Patches

Charlotte Hornets Embroidered Patches

The Hornets debuted in 1988, disappeared when the franchise moved to New Orleans in 2002, then returned to Charlotte in 2014 after a stretch as the Bobcats. That back-and-forth history gives this charlotte hornets patch lineup more range than most, teal and purple carrying through the original era and the current one, even though the Bobcats years in between used a different color scheme entirely.

The buzzing hornet mascot logo is fairly detailed, with wing and stinger lines that take careful stitching to keep sharp. It’s the design most fans associate with the team, especially those who remember the original ’90s run before the move to New Orleans.

There’s also a simpler wordmark option in this charlotte hornets jersey patch selection, just “Hornets” in bold lettering, better suited to a cap than the fuller mascot graphic.

Every charlotte hornets iron on patch here is embroidered instead of printed, so fine detail like the hornet’s wings or lettering edges holds its shape through repeated washing instead of cracking. Backing comes in iron-on, sew-on, or Velcro, depending on whether the patch stays on one piece of gear or moves between a few.
