Logo of an old World Football League team, the Charlotte Hornets, who played in the league in 1974 and ’75. This was a sorry franchise that began play in New York but relocated mid-season to Charlotte. Shortly after relocating, however, their uniforms were impounded due to an unpaid laundry bill in New York. They eventually got their uniforms back and, coached by former AFL star quarterback Babe Parilli, qualified for the USFL playoffs. The team was so poorly funded, however, that they suspended operations and were replaced in the playoffs by the Philadelphia Bell.
