The Charlotte Hornets have taken their "Buzz City" nickname and planted it squarely on the front of their new alternate uniforms, which they unveiled Friday at their draft party.

Forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist modelled the new duds in front of those in attendance at Time Warner Cable Arena.
The jersey's primary color is black with neon blue lettering. The main talking point, though, has to be the words "Buzz City" being predominately featured, which is one of the least intimidating monikers in the league.
It's not the ugliest uniform around, as the Atlanta Hawks new color scheme may fit that bill. What the Hornets have is a sleek, cool getup that people wouldn't be opposed to wearing in public.
Eyes everywhere approve.
