Charlotte Hornets will bring back Hugo as team mascot

Not only are the Charlotte Bobcats bringing back the Charlotte Hornets name next season, they're also bringing back Hugo as the team's mascot.

In the team's previous iteration, Hugo was one of the league's best mascots. Seriously, look at this adorable dude:

There's also an interesting wrinkle with one of the alternate Hornets logos unveiled on the weekend - not only is the Hornet smiling (which is fantastic), but it also appears to be wearing the Retro Nike Air Jordan XI Concord. Michael Jordan, of course, is the owner of the franchise.

No word if Hugo will also rock the Concords, too.
