Ever since the Hornets first took to the court as an NBA franchise in 1988, they have formed a unique bond with the Charlotte fan base. While the team has tasted intermittent success, the fans have stayed loyal. The moniker "Buzz City" was developed to describe the rabid fans in Charlotte who have stuck with the team through thick and thin. The Hornets even put Buzz City on their "Pride" uniform for the 2015-16 season. The pride jerseys are an alternate uniform that teams have the option of wearing up to six times during the season. The enthusiastic display of Hornets fans is perfectly encompassed with the Buzz City moniker. The present and future of the Hornets rests with potential superstars like Kemba Walker. The point guard is an instant scorer when his team needs it and an expert distributor when the situation calls for it. Walker has signed and inscribed "Buzz City" on this limited edition (50) Spalding replica indoor/outdoor basketball in black paint pen. His signature and inscription are deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated's Five Step Process.
