The Charlotte Hornets unveiled their brand new “CLT” jerseys on Thursday … and, unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for the internet to lambaste the team with sophomoric sexual jokes.
Social media erupted at the sight of the front of the uniforms … giddily giggling over the fact that at a quick first glance, the “CLT” could look like the slang term for a part of a woman’s anatomy.
“I’m ordering mine custom w/ ‘Found It’ on the name plate,” one fan wrote.
The @Panthers are debuting a new uniform/helmet combo tonight.

“A CLT vs Cream City game would’ve been legendary,” another posted.
The NBA org., though, clearly was proud of the kits nonetheless … explaining the “CLT” is actually an abbreviation used throughout their home city — including by Charlotte’s own airport.
It is the first time the Hornets will use the abbreviation on their unis — on previous alternate jerseys, they had stitched “CHA” on them.
Charlotte says the jerseys will be worn for 10 home games and nine away games … and, yeah, something tells us there will be jokes aplenty in the stands at all 19 contests.
