Your annual look at the Hornets promotional calendar, hitting all the highlights (ie: the days that things are given to you for free). So if you’re still looking at which games you might want to attend, mark down these days.
Oh, and just FYI, I am excluding the games where the giveaway is Thunderstix. No particular reason, other than that I personally think they suck:
- 10/17 preseason vs. Pacers– Hornets schedule magnets (everyone)
- 10/30 home opener vs. Warriors– Opening Night t-shirts (everyone)
- 11/6 vs. Raptors– Hornets jersey keychains (first 10,000)
- 11/17 vs. Clippers– Go Green bag (first 10,000)
- 12/4 vs. Timberwolves– Emeka Okafor bobblehead (first 10,000)
- 12/16 vs. Pistons– Honeybee posters (first 10,000)
- 12/23 vs. Warriors– Hornets Christmas ornament (first 8,000)
- 12/30 vs. Heat– “BEE a Designated Driver” T-Shirts… ho ho what a great pun (first 8,000)
- 1/2 vs. Rockets– Mardi Gras mini-basketball (first 4,000 kids)
- 1/8 vs. Nets– Elvis Night. No giveaway listed, it just made me snicker.
- 1/29 vs. Bulls– Mardi Gras youth arm sleeve (first 4,000 kids)
- 2/5 vs. Sixers– Chris Paul Mardi Gras bobblehead. I must own this. (first 10,000)
- 2/10 vs. Celtics– Mardi Gras beads (first 10,000)
- 2/21 vs. Rockets– Mardi Gras youth jerseys (first 4,000 kids)
- 3/22 vs. Mavs– Hornets team poster (first 10,000)
- 4/9 vs. Jazz– Mardi Gras youth shorts (first 4,000 kids– hell, these kids are gonna have a whole freakin Mardi Gras outfit by the time this season is over)
Rocking out
I like those schedule magnets. Got one last Saturday when they played the Thunder. Only 1 Bobblehead night this year. All-Star balloting begins too early in the season.
Oh wait, I didn’t see the CP3 Mardi Gras Bobblehead. I must own this one as well.
Why don’t I see that CP3 bobblehead listed on the promotional calendar?
It says Chris Paul bobblehead. Did I get the date wrong? … it’s there. But it said Mardi Gras bobblehead last night when i wrote this. Hmm… I wonder if they’re not done updating the list.
I see it now. Didn’t seem to be there before.
thunderstix are the worst. i’m always annoyed with them because they get in the way, and the arena is louder when people use their hands for clapping. Shows they’re genuinely interested in making noise anyway without the stix.
Which game is Hornets Hype night?
@ Chris
ALL OF THEM.
