You serious, bro?

The Hornets nickname in Charlotte dates back to the Revolutionary War, when British General Charles Cornwallis compared the resistance in Charlotte to a hornet’s nest. It has been used in sports by a minor league baseball team (1901-73), an upstart football league team (1974-75) and the city’s first NBA franchise.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police use a hornets nest as their logo. Saying "hornets" has no significance in Charlotte would be as dumb as saying "jazz" has no significance to New Orleans.
