The Charlotte Hornets are entering the D-League in style.

On Tuesday, they announced what the official nickname and logo will be for their affiliate, and everything appears to be on the up and up:

The Greensboro Swarm not only makes perfect sense (it's one term for a group of hornets, for your information—we'll also accept a "nest"), but the logo looks good! They didn't deviate too far from the original look that's already pretty awesome, and kept the same colorway.

Good for Charlotte. This team should do wonders for their organization, and let them develop their own talent how they see fit.
