The name WIZARDS will be changed to BULLETS in the next year

[Inliten1]

What about the Washington Patriots?

Maybe some of the New England Patriots' good karma will rub off, maybe.

And it would go along with the Red, White, and Blue team colors that Ted intents to bring back.

[dangermouse]

i hope its red, white and blue with a twist. too many red, white and blue teams already.

I like the new trend of sports team names that are abstract nouns like "the Liberty," "the Magic," "the United," etc ...

In that vain, I think a good name for this franchise would be "the Indignity."

I don`t think Bullets is a very good name to go back to.

"The Gentrification"

It's so perfect.

The Mystics got new colors. I expect our colors next year to be the same.





In this picture you can see the DC logo on their warm-ups.

The Suck.

"Teh Suck" would be awesomer.

That new mystics colour scheme is good, and is actually what i had in mind when i said red, white and blue with a twist. it looks good, there wouldnt be another similar looking team in the league, maybe apart from the atlanta hawks, but heres hoping they go back to primarily red and white.

I don't think our resident Hawks fan would be too happy if those were our colors.

The Nets have the same color scheme (red/navy/silver/white). And, now that they're de-emphasizing "New Jersey," they're using their red "Nets" jerseys w/ white numbers almost exclusively on the road.

But overall, I think it's more damaging to the Wizards' brand to have another team in the same division w/ the same colors (the Hawks). And that's ignoring all of the other teams w/ red/white/blue colors that use royal instead of Navy (Sixers, Clips - with red road unis - and the Pistons).

[keynote]

oops. wrong thread.

That's one of my favorite color schemes actually, but yea, it's identical to Atlanta's, which is pretty lame.

I agree. I really want Black/Gold/Silver since no team in the league has Gold in their color scheme.

Here's John Wall's shoes in that color scheme. It's very important to consider how our star player's shoes will look

[pancakes3]

has anyone gotten these shoes yet? how are they? i'm due for an upgrade in a few months. they look bulkier in that pic than they do in the commercials...

[keynote]

If you're going to use them to play ball, then I'd personally recommend that you stay clear of Reebok (I've had horrible experiences with them in the past). But, admittedly, I haven't read any performance reviews of these new ones.

Here's one guy's review:

This is cool...Abe changed it for the right reasons.

But it was time to bring it back.

[lupin]

I think their name should be The Generals - a guaranteed win for all of their opponents.

If you want to know what the Wizards color scheme will be next year, all you have to do is look up in the rafters at the Verizon Center. I just noticed this year that they changed all the retired jersey banners of the Bullets and Wizards to Red, White and Blue. The colors are essentially the same as the Caps colors and very similar to the Hawks. Even the Earl Monroe banner, which was previously orange, is now red white and blue.
