I love pretty much everything about this new look, except the name Wizards. This is as close to perfect they can get without fixing the name, so I approve. I love the retro-Bullets look.

I think it's horrendous. Reminds me of the Bills uniforms tailored to a basketball jersey/shorts combo.

Seriously. I like the spirit of what they did but I would rather have one solid color from top to bottom. Not horizontal stripes.

Well hey, at least the Bloods can't use them anymore. To much blue to pass for bloods atire. Ditto with the old Wizard jerseys and the Crips.

Seriously, the DC logo looks kinda like a dong.

Other than that, I guess they're okay. I'd probably buy that blue John Wall t-shirt on the right if I saw it in a store and had some money to burn.
Looks like they made it easy to change the name without having to tweek the design too much, so I guess that's sort of a plus.

I like the hidden Washington Monuments on the wordmarks. "d" on Wizards and "h" in Washington.

I also like the "d" on the "dc" logo...nice throwback to the Bullets.

I think we may see the real name return in a few years and this will be the perfect design for them...just change the name on the home jerseys and its done.

The basketball logo is nice too.

I love 'em. Outside of the skins all the teams should use red white and blue since they're in DC. I couldn't like them more. Maybe if they didn't say stupid "Wizards".

SBXVII 05-10-2011 01:22 PM

Re: New Washington Wizards/Bullets uniforms
 
I like the change. I too wish they would have simply done something about the name also. Honestly I'd have prefered the name be "Bullets" again. It was only changed because the owner didn't like the idea of gangs using his uniform. Guess what? I don't think there is a Pro team out there that does not have a gang wearing their uniform.

Get over it. Bring back the name.

I too am happy seeing all the DC teams wearing red, white, and blue. It's a shame the Skins don't but should they ever have to change their name, please change the colors to reflect the Nations colors as the other teams have.

Yeah I liked the basketball logo also. It would be neet to have a hat with just that logo, or with "Wizards" on the outside top half of the ball.

They need to drop the bearded dude. He looks horrible re-colored.

So apparently changing the name isn't so easy because of intellectual property/legal stuff. But it sounds like Ted would want to do it. At least he didn't shut the idea down at all. There is hope. I'd be up for a change to just about anything other than wizards.

Does anyone recall the final list of names for the Bullets? Wasn't the name Wizards voted by the fans for the people?

Love it - wish they could change the name back to the Bullets. Great step.

Well good thing none of the finalist among Dragons, Sea Dogs, and Wizards had anything to do with the KKK.

Not so fast my friend:

[quote]He put emphasis on how he and the organization wished to remain respectful to the late Abe Pollin and Pollin's decision to change the name of the franchise at the start of the 1997-98 season, which all but rules out any return to the name "Bullets" in the near future.[/quote]
Whether it's true or not remains to be seen, but I'd imagine as long as Leonsis is the owner, you won't see the name "Bullets" back in the fold.

Anyhow, I like the retro look and the nuances of the new logos. The Wizard logo looks horrible, but I think that'll be pushed to the wayside before long and replaced by the dc logo.

An old school song to express how I feel about the actual uniforms (not the logo and color scheme). "no no no no no."

Actually, it would have to do more with COST and league fees than copyright and legal issues.

In fact, the NBA has a $500,000 fee to change a team's primary logo. This is why we still have a re-colored, bearded Wizard man, even if the team does not use him as a primary or at all. A lot of NBA teams have primary logos they don't use anymore, with their secondary/alternate logos being emphasized. That fee to change the primary is why.

The Knicks, Hawks, Jazz, Wolves, Hornets, Cavaliers and Raptors are some of the teams not using their primary logos like primary logos.
