🏀 Autographed/Signed Glen Rice Charlotte Teal Basketball Jersey PSA/DNA COA — The Authenticated Signature of the Charlotte Hornets' Original Star Forward on the Most Iconic Teal Jersey in NBA History

🏀 There is a generation of basketball fans for whom the Charlotte Hornets' teal jersey is simply one of the most beautiful uniforms the league has ever produced. The franchise launched in 1988 as an expansion team, and the color scheme — teal, purple, and white — was so visually striking and so different from anything else on the floor at the time that the Hornets merchandise became one of the top-selling uniform lines in the entire league almost immediately after the team existed. Fans who had never set foot in Charlotte bought teal Hornets hats and jerseys because the colors were that compelling. Glen Rice wore those colors for six seasons as the Hornets' most accomplished scorer, and his signed teal jersey is a piece of that specific era of NBA basketball — the expansion era, the Charlotte original run, the teal years that a generation of basketball fans grew up watching.

🏀 Rice came to the Hornets as the fourth overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft after one of the most statistically dominant individual NCAA Tournament performances in the history of March Madness. Playing for the Michigan Wolverines and head coach Bill Frieder — and then Steve Fisher after Frieder's mid-tournament dismissal — Rice scored 184 points across six games, setting the tournament scoring record for a single player in a single tournament. The Wolverines won the 1989 national championship, and Rice finished as the tournament's most outstanding player. He arrived in Charlotte with the track record of a player who elevated his game in the biggest moments.

🏀 His six seasons in Charlotte built him into a genuine All-Star contributor — a small forward with the ability to score from the perimeter, find his shot in the flow of the offense, and produce the kind of consistent offensive output that expansion franchises desperately need as they try to build an identity and attract fans in a new city. Rice was a three-time All-Star and one of the most accomplished scorers of his era, capable of the kind of scoring nights that made him unmissable on any given evening. Charlotte fans who watched him play in the teal jersey saw a player who took the expansion franchise's early years seriously and performed as if the games mattered — which, for the fans who filled the arena in those early Hornets seasons, they absolutely did.
