The Pittsburgh Hornets brought some of their past with them when they returned to play in 1961.  The Hornets emerged from five seasons of inactivity when the Duquesne Gardens were torn down and the Civic Arena was under construction.

The wool jerseys had a red base with with arm trim with six stars and a white belt around the hemline. The jerseys featured tie-down collars.

A full circular crest finally revealed the rest of the helmeted hornet’s body. Uniform numbers were four inches tall in the front on the upper right of the jersey.  Rear ten-inch numbers were made of white twill.

The letter P on the shorts appear only during the 1961-62 season. The next two seasons, the shorts were basic red with a white stripe.
