HIROSHIMA is a city of distinct solidarity and resilient spirit, overlooking the serene Seto Inland Sea and opening up to the beautiful scenery of the Ota River. It deeply resonates with Charlotte where the Hornets moniker originated from being feared as a nest of hornets by enemy forces during the fierce Revolutionary War in their shared history of cultivating a unique strength where people unite firmly to withstand devastating warfare and relentless outer pressures, refusing to back down.

The indomitable spirit of this land, which has endured intense historical conflicts and catastrophic war damages only to rebuild from the ashes, profoundly mirrors the sharp, agile movements that dominate the court and captivate all who watch.Its crest integrates the Mitsumori-nijukikko-ni-kenhanabishi crest of Itsukushima Shrine harboring protective prayers, the Daki-hana-gyoyo crest radiating noble pride, and a honeycomb motif representing the franchise's definitive symbol of unbreakable unity.
