Don't like it. The elements are OK by themselves, but the trim on the shorts don't match the trim on the shirt.

Actually, I can see the red piping down the side of the shirt. I'll withhold judgment until they release better photos.

Looks really ugly needs a white stripe on the front and it will look complete.

I don't mind a navy alternate...too much

However, the red shoulders which go from the front to back looks like they forgot to add that third stripe somewhere, considering that the home whites and the Monumental Red jersey have that stripe in the middle on the front which really makes that jersey unique.

So I was surfing on the alternate jerseys and stumbled on...

Los Wizards jerseys for Latin American Heritage night.. really?

What better way to celebrate Latin American culture than to tokenize it by putting a single extra word on the Wizards jersey? How about allotting jersey money to giving Aramark the night off and serve everyone in the arena some delicious Chicken a La Brasa? :nod:

Think the top of the jersey they should have swapped the red with White and accented with more red throughout. Overall it isn't too bad. I like the fact it says WASHINGTON in front :P

Agree. Missing the white stripe across the front for the full Red White and Blue effect.

I'm not a fan of the horizontal stripes on any of the Wizards jerseys. I'd rather just see a solid color like the Bullets in the mid 90s.

I like the shorts, but I agree with those who say the top looks weird with the red shoulders but no horizontal white stripe. Though it'd make it an alternate that's less interesting than the normal jersey, I'd rather just see solid navy if they want to go the stripe-less route.

Looks like the Wizards' alt has the "dc" secondary logo at the beltline. I can't post the pic here, so follow the link.

eh.... very underwhelming, and it does look unfinished.

i was hoping for something different, a new design that abandoned the horizontal stripe all together and tried something new.

my straight up re-colour of the original jerseys looked better.

oh well, maybe they'll grow on me.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

I like the DARK BLUE! It will give the team a look that says "DON'T MESS WITH ME!" :D

I'd rather they went with something maybe all blue with red stripes and white stars down the sides and white lettering.

It just looks like the regular unis but the factory messed up the colors and sent out a bad batch. The red shoulders just look strange and it seems unfinished, like they really did a rush job. Something totally different would have been nice.

I heard Durant and his team designed these.

Maybe they'll grow on me, but those look putrid IMO. Agree w/ it needing the stripe.

You can get a better look at the alt as worn by the Wizards' official team rapper.
