Where does the Carolina Hurricanes tie come from?
The tie comes from a 2019 post by Bunch of Jerks, a Carolina Hurricanes fan group. It congratulated "Carolina Hurricanes fan and Bunch of Jerks shirt owner Zion Williamson," and it is the group describing him that way, not Williamson himself. That is a background tie, not a fandom he has stated in his own words. The post appeared in 2019, the year the New Orleans Pelicans took him first overall.
Does it line up with where Zion Williamson is from?
Williamson was born on July 6, 2000, in Salisbury, North Carolina. His family moved to Florence, South Carolina, when he was two, and he later attended Spartanburg Day in Spartanburg, South Carolina, before a single season at Duke in 2018-19. Of those places, only Salisbury is in the same state as the Hurricanes' name. Nothing here shows him saying why he follows the team, or whether he still does.
Questions people ask

He has not named a team himself; the only tie is a 2019 post from a Carolina Hurricanes fan group calling him a fan of that team.
What team did Zion Williamson root for growing up?
Nothing shows him naming a childhood team, so no growing-up fandom can be stated.
Has Zion Williamson said he is a Carolina Hurricanes fan?
No, the label comes from the Bunch of Jerks fan group, not from Williamson in his own words.
