Totally with you on the sheen thing. They got a lot right with these unis, but enough wrong. I really liked out white "Zephyrs" throwback last year. Very classy and cool.

I prefer the old bullets royal blue (more of the AU blue that you see in Tenleytown) to the navy they appears to be going with.

All that said, I think it's going to be an improvement and am psyched for the unveil.

One last personally shameful look back at Wiz unis before Uncle Ted's day of glory tomorrow.

It pains me to admit that I kinda liked the Wizards gold and black uniforms. I thought it was really out-of-the-box and wanted to salute the Wiz for trying something completely different.

Apparently EVERYBODY ELSE on Planet Earth hated them.

My bad.

i really liked them too... but i think we kinda grew to like them because the wiz had a ~ ridiculously high winning % when wearing them

I also know that changing the colors is just a small step in our overall rebuild plan, just 1 of 101 things to do.

I also know that the jerseys and new look and feel will look much better if we can build a winning franchise.

As noted, we could not and did not change the name of the team. We were able - by NBA rules - to change the color motif; add some new word marks and logos; change up how we present that pallet; and bring to you - in one season - a new look and feel.

I thank our partners at the NBA and Adidas for their great work here.

Come back after 11:00 am EST to see the new uniforms.

Thank you so much



I suspect a name change is in out future.

Just turned on the live stream. We'll see what kind of unis are coming for next year.

Not bad at all, but I would have made the #s white too.

I like this a lot too.

I like the "Washington" across the front. (Perhaps the first step in moving away from "Wizards"). I wonder what the shorts look like and what the home whites look like. (Typing this after just seeing FAH's photo post, above).

I don't really like that they kept the old Wizards logo with those colors, which I think was spoiled months ago right? My only complaint really.

Wall looks like he's put on some muscle since the season ended.

Yeah, I'm feeling that look. Good job, Ted.
