No more gold jerseys:

Anyone hoping we can get some black jerseys finally?

I'd prefer a name change, but oh well. Wouldn't mind seeing them do a revival of the red blue and white. There's gotta be something we can do add some color to the mix.

I agree with the poster that said we should just slap Wizards on the Zephyrs jerseys. Those are TIGHT!

I want them to come up with a white/red/blue jersey, like the old Bullets jerseys.

Agreed, i just recently got a Zephyrs adidas track jacket at Champs..its MONEY!

Also, as much pull as Arenas has with the organization, why cant he get this done?

I really like the idea of gold, just as an accent, rather than the uniform's main color. Switch our colors the black and gold, drop the blue. Use the Zephyrs template (as mentioned) for the home, and switch the white to black for the road. Simple, sleek, unique. What's not to like?

I like those throwback Baltimore Bullets unis -- the orange ones. I'd be fine with the Zephyrs unis too. In fact, I'd be fine with going back to Zephyrs as the team's name. "Wizards" was a bad name from the start.

I'm in the minority, but I actually liked the gold jerseys. I bought a replica pair of the black shorts to play ball in.

I'd actually be disappointed if the Wizards went with black unis full time. Everyone clamors for black unis, but it's no guarantee of aesthetic success:
- Grizzlies (SAR era): ugly unis
- Jazz (end of Malone era alts): terrible
- Bulls alt: decent
- Heat: solid

I'd actually prefer a blue/gold color scheme with no black trim at all, but that's just me.
