Well we only have one white guy on the team and it won't be for long.

Well that's easy. Just don't sign any white guys.

Actually, Ernie's the perfect GM for that kind of approach.

Really? Ernie "Vesely" "Santorasky" Grunfeld?

Those blue & gold unis were atrocious. I don't get the nostalgia over them.

I loved the new unis when they were first released, but it has kind of waned. They aren't terrible though.

I don't think the reds have held up after just a year, but I still do like the whites. Wouldn't mind a redesign on just the reds, whether they switch to a blue scheme or not.

See, I'm thinking Ernie is perfect because he pre-decides what TYPE of player the team needs or doesn't need and then goes shopping for that type. Convince him the Wizards don't need any more white players, and he won't get them. Simple.

Maybe blue with Fire Flames around the border.

But maybe thats asking for too much...

Flames? They're a sports team, not a '73 Trans Am :|

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

I like the red white and blue(although that stripe in the middle is annoying and makes it hard to read names and numbers), but my personal favorite are the Orange Bullets ones. I have a Jamison one of that color and style, autographed and framed hanging on my wall.

Some sporty flames would surely make the team faster. It would fit right in with their plan of building a team around the ability to run and jump.
