Wizards Unveil “Cherry Blossom” Uniforms

The uni looks good overall but I actually think it’ll look better worn casually as separate pieces.

The colors are pretty to me. Nothing wrong with some pink. :wink:

That's a decently close image to what I was looking for, but I've seen the fabric that would have matched almost exactly before.

What do you mean you dont know if the nba would have allowed it?
There have been gradient jerseys in the past

wait the Vice colours? those are fn amazing

Well then you must LOVE the cherry blossom jerseys!

I do like them quite a bit. But which vice jerseys you are talking about, those vice versa jerseys were terrible, but full on teal and pink Miami jerseys were some of the best of all time.

Yeah the first ones were amazing a couple seasons ago. Cant believe they messed it up with that ugly half blue newer one.

It's not the gradient (I don't even think that aspect of the pic I shared is that important). It's actually having either the blossoms or a branch of the tree on their uniforms. Not a single on dotting an "i", but like a whole sweep of them along the bottom of the jersey

It makes sense because Rui...love dude...and the DMV got the Cherry Blossom trees from The Mayor of Tokyo over 100 years ago. I’m from the DMV and it’s always been a thing....

‘Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs every year from March to April, commemorates the gift of approximately 3,000 cherry trees from the Mayor of Tokyo to the United States in 1912. The gift celebrates the friendship between the Japanese and American people. The Cherry Blossom Festival, located mainly around the Tidal Basin, attracts hundreds of thousands of people to D.C. each year. Peak bloom occurs when 70% of the Yoshino Cherry trees are open...’

Dc has a whole cherry blossoms festival- it’s a real thing and a pretty big deal to some of the people in the dmv....

Rui also released his Rui Jordan 8s during the cherry blossom festival...not sure it was done on purpose but the shoes have some cherry blossoms on the insole

One of the few things the team doing right...

Not bad, I like the shade of red.

I only approve of these jerseys if players also play in those pants Kuz is rocking :lol:

So who's gonna pop that cherry? I mean, be the first to buy that gear.

Actually amazing! A bit of Japanese culture to show respect to their Japanese player/fanbase.

One step closer to merging the NBA with the WNBA.

UNis are very nice, its that Kuzma photoshoot or after effects that ruins the reveal. I mean Kuzma is airbrushed like crazy, he seriously looks like Ken doll there, they airbrushed his face and genitalia in the process. I also do not approve that he has no shoes on, seriously who directed that? Photo with Hachimura looks much better. They will probably have special floor as well and its gonna be real nice I imagine. Cant wait to see it in action.

Really like them, especially the shorts.

I'd like it better if they could do more actual cherry blossoms on it instead of just make it pink

Johnny Bball · Post #100 » by **Johnny Bball** » Wed Mar 30, 2022 5:35 pm

I love pink and blue, and since the heat gave up theirs which was best alternate in the league... this is close.

Its not Rui. its this. Went one year, missed it, too early.
