Philly crowds get a little rowdy and they’ll be extra cocky because they beat the Cavs last night. You should be ok if you’re wearing hornets stuff but there’s a decent chance you’re heckled.
I saw the Hornets play in Brooklyn a few years back and that was an awesome experience. Amazing arena and all of the food we had was really good too. Plus that arena is surrounded by anything you want.
I’ll let you know if I get tickets for tonight!
I have my Kemba jersey, and a Hornets cap !
Can't wait !
I already spotted a Staples next to the WFC, Ill be able to make some kind of board !

Just a fair warning, I was once at a Phillies/Marlins game where this 10 year old Marlins fan was holding up a sign, and some guy came down from the top of the section, took the sign and ripped it in half. I'm pretty sure the guy got kicked out but I still felt bad for the kid lol.
I agree that you're probably fine with the Jersey (may get a few comments, but it's not like it's an Eagles game or anything. Be sure to find an usher and complain if you think anyone crosses a line.) the sign may be pushing it though, and I don't want your first NBA game (or Philadelphia) experience to be a negative one. Definitely don't hold it up in the middle of the game and block people's view.
Hope you have a good time and no Philadelphian does anything stupid! It'll probably be a sell out and the crowds have generally been awesome. Wish I was going tonight.
