The Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets are both celebrating their 30th seasons in the NBA, and fortunately for all of us, that means the return of some tremendous throwback looks.
The Hornets have already unveiled their “Classic” edition uniforms and a retro court. For the six or more nights this season, they will don the old school white pinstripe uniforms, and they look outstanding. On Wednesday, the Magic announced their own retro look, as they will finally bring back the blue pinstripes from the 90s that remain one of the all-time greatest uniform looks in NBA history, via Darren Rovell and the Orlando Sentinel.

It’s such an iconic look and one that they should honestly just go back to for their main unis, but if we can’t have that, then the least they can do is allow them to rock the retro pinstripes as often as possible. This year’s squad likely won’t bring back memories of the Penny and Shaq years with the quality of their play, but we’ll take them at least bringing back these great uniforms.
The Orlando Sentinel says there hasn’t been a determination on how many times the team will put on these “Classic” uniforms, but we can hope the answer ends up being “a lot.” If nothing else, the Classic edition Mo Bamba jersey will end up being very popular with Orlando fans.
