The only guy who’s ever pulled off a Wizards jersey is John Wall. Everyone else immediately looks like they’re washed anytime they put the uniform on.

They absolutely need to do a full rebrand with a different color scheme, logo, jerseys, the whole nine yards. It’s way past due at this point.

100% new era and some good young guys

Change the name, logo, colors… everything 

Brother we’ve been asking for a rebrand for like 8 years now lol

Always. Gotta be one of the worst brands in the league. Should riff on the 2000s stuff go blue and gold, much more unique than Red

Absolutely. No reason why AJ looks washed and he hasn’t even played a minute of basketball for them yet. The branding is to strong in a negative way.

Move back to the Navy,Black, and gold and im all in

Wear pointy wizard hats and cloaks during warm ups.

Just add even the slightest detail that does justice to their name. The logo pisses me off the most

A team called the wizards, but you’d have no idea looking at their logo and jerseys apart from the away jersey that just says Wizards in a plain font. They could be doing so much more

Yes, and they should use cherry blossom pink as a main color.

Yeah, they should switch back to being the Bullets.

I really dislike the logos that are just circles with the team name curved around the outside.

I get the Wizards one is the Washington Monument made to look like a wand, but it looks so bland alongside the most common team colors across American sports

Prevailing opinion being to bring back the widely-mocked blue/bronze look with the bearded logo should tell you all you need to know about public opinions on graphic design

Yea bring the actual wizard in the blue robe logo back. Shit was so hard. Red white and blue is always ugly

It is objectively the worst logo in sports

Embrace Harry Potter.

Maybe a hot take but I think this is dramatically overrated and it won’t really make a difference at all. Lots of teams waited a long time to be consistently good, and people adopted the old styles once they became good. Spurs, Suns, Bulls, Knicks are all classic jerseys that took decades before being associated with victory.

If the wizards are good the logo will be seen in a better light 

They should go black and gold like those Arenas era ones

I feel like DC should abandon the city then team name approach and fully embrace its iconic city nickname: “Chocolate City”. Would be breaking new ground in sports naming and its merch would be legendary one way or another.

They 100% should. They should go back to the Bullets name OR anything other than wizards lol

Yes, I don’t know why I just realized how ugly their uniforms are. Maybe seeing AJ in them just made me finally realize after all these years that those things are disgusting.

Need to go back to being the Bullets. Wizards is a shit name, they’ve developed no culture since having that name. Needlessly performative in a country that does nothing about gun safety. Most all these team names are more violent than the pellet you need -to go in the tool you need- to do something unnecessary.
Washington is no longer the most violent place in America. The crack epidemic has long since been over. I feel changing the name to wizards is like rich people patting themselves on the back for shit they did nothing to stop.

Yes but not because the jerseys are bad just that it’s been 15 years lol …everyone jumping on the bandwagon to hate on the jerseys are corny, because in 2040 everyone is gonna call them sick throwbacks

They’ve needed one for years. They’ve had the same jerseys since the bobcats were a thing and the Nola hornets. I would love the Arenas era logos and unis to come back but I doubt they’ll do it.

More wands and crystal balls

Commanders got Jayden Daniels and locked the fuck in for his third year. Yes please god return us to Wall’s rookie year

Yes

Raptors need to rebrand too

The jersey needs to be redone definitely. I don’t understand why the owner agreed to these jersey designs. The only good design is the cherry blossom jerseys.

absolutely

Are there others who think the logo looks like a butthole or is it just me

Why stop there

Yes, to the Washington King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards

“becoming the new face of the franchise.” Bro he hasn’t even played a game yet. 

Absolutely. Pretty boring branding all around.

I don’t know if this one is a hot take, but I don’t like the warriors branding either. I much preferred their old logo and jerseys from the early 2000s and prior.

Yes. The whole branding has been shit since the day we changed our name.

Absolutely. They’ve always looked goofy, they more than any other team need to blow it up visually and try something new.

I’d go with black and gold, like their duracell uniforms or the ancient Zephyrs throwbacks. No other NBA team uses that color scheme. Just stop being red-white-blue for the sake of being red-white-blue, that shit is so lame if you don’t already have a strong legacy with it.

Easily one of the most random brands in all of professional sports for better or worse. There’s no reason an adult pro team should be called the Wizards especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with the city. Wizardry suddenly became popular in the mid 90s so I get why they went that way, same as Raptors probably riding on the mass popularity of dinosaurs in the mid 90s). Even the original KC Wizards of Major League Soccer rebranded long ago.

White/ black/ gold

White magic wizards at home, dark magic wizards on the road.

As someone who is more of a Capitals fan, I suspect that Ted Leonsis is waiting for Alex Ovechkin to retire before rebranding both the Capitals and the Wizards.

Yes they needed new uniforms the second they released these monstrosities

100 percent!

Dustin Porier logo

They should start by changing the name back to Bullets or to … anything else.

For sure

Wizards is dumb as shit and has no relevance to anything as far as I’m aware, I actually really like their color scheme for the most part(they should lean into the cherry blossom stuff more) but they need a rebrand and name change.

Picture

The pink cherry blossom jerseys were sick

It’s…BULLET time…this is America

Go back to bullets

Picture

Yes. I think they have to get rid of the name. It really has to be the worst name in professional sports. A weak old frail dusty wizard who that has nothing to do with Washington DC.

Almost every other team in all of sports has some sort of reason for their name. Even if they moved and the names don’t make sense now (Grizzlies, Lakers, Jazz etc) it was still rooted in some sort of reason.

“The name depicts energy and an omnipresent power, and brings to light what is hoped to be the wise and magical nature of the team.” - NBA . COM

Yes

Yes

We’re no longer politically correct so go back to the Bullets

Yes. They have the worst jerseys in the NBA by a lot

Swamp Dragons

UMD went back to ‘Terps’ on their football helmets a couple yrs ago so there’s precedent in town for back to the future looks.

I mean yea it’s probably time for a reboot, 15 yrs w the same uni and logo is forever in this league lol.

Wizards and Nets both neoverhaul overhauls.

Yes! Please god yes! Their logo looks like a dick. They need to fix it.

They need to change the name entirely. Can’t have the Magic and the Wizards in the same conference.

Back to The Bullets!

1000%. They’re handily one of the most boring brands out there, especially after ditching the crescent moon and Wizard in the logo. They’re not the worst (that title goes to one of the Thunder or Nets), but they do need a top to bottom rebrand, something entirely new, not based on the Bullets or even the old Wizards designs, given the recent NBA trend to blend modern design sensibilities with old school designs (I.e. Orlando, Houston, and Minny).

It’s too weird having two fantasy sorcerer themed teams in the league. Magic and Wizards is just odd together.

Yeah, they need the OG bullet

Jerseys, colors, logo, name, change it all.

Not a Wizards fan but went to many games when I lived in Virginia. Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antwan Jamison in those teal and gold jerseys was awesome. I never understood why they went back to a red/white/blue scheme. Too many nba teams are red/white/blue.

Keep the colors (the DC sports synergy outside the Commanders is really cool), change everything else. You can go back to Bullets or not, but change the Wizards and the logo (no big basketball logo).

Respectfully they need to change the name too. Magic already got the fantasy trope going and the logo/color branding seems so disconnected from the actual team name.

Again?!

Yes, because the current ones are ugly and no other reason

Bullets. Bring em back. And also make everyone do the Dougie like John Wall for the intros.

Yes. At least get rid of those stripes on the jerseys.

Missed out on an opportunity to change back to the Bullets and trade for Ja Morant imo.

With the Wizards name they should completely rebrand into shadow wizard money gang

Of course, it all looks ugly from logo to jerseys. I would even change the name wizards. If they are wizards they are drunk.

“Wizards” is one of the dumbest names in all of sports… so, yes.

Also the “gold” jersey looks like one of the default create-a-teams in 2k.

Yeah, while I like the idea of Bullets modernization, the current iteration is stuck from a decade ago.

I feel like the Blue and Bronze was unique

Back to the Bullets.

It won’t help. Wizards been cursed since they changed from the bullets. If they go back to the bullets it might turn them back in to championship form like the Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld years.

Yes, the Wizards branding just feels like non-committal. (Speaking as a DC transplant who still want the team to do well)

If they don’t want to call themselves the Bullets and stick with the Wizards, then they should go with more Wizard. OK it could be more cartoony and even cheesy, but it feels hard for kids to sign up for the abstract-shape wizard or the Washington Monument. I don’t think the Wizards name is “cool” but may as well make it fun.

Go back to the zephyrs

Rename the team

You mean to say we’ll have another renovation in Washington?

Wizards are very popular in 2026. The problem is the colors and uniform design.

Yes.

Or go back to the actual Wizards stuff (like when Jordan was there).
Now it’s red white & blue with stars, for the Wizards. Doesn’t fit.

All in the cherry blossom theme

return of the bullets

Wizards being red, white, and blue makes no sense. I get they are Washington based, but it still looks awful. They could go full rebrand with a Wizard theme or just go back to 1997-98 style.

The league needs more weird/lesser used colors. Purple, teal, orange, even yellow. “Wizard” is such an open ended concept. Get weird with it.

Wizards should not only go through a rebrand, they should get a new name. You simply can’t make “Wizards” work, it’s dumb. The red, white, and blue makes sense given they’re in DC.

I’ve always thought the “Washington Senators” would be a good nickname. It’d be a nice throwback to DC’s past and align it with the other nicknames in the city. Also, “Washington Monuments” would be a good one.

I mean the name Wizards makes no sense with the DC/red white and blue vibe.

Cherry blossom jerseys were sick. Would be cool if they went with something along those lines.

Washington Zardoz with the shorter red uniform

Go back to the Bullets 💪

Fix the name even, one of the worst names in sports

The biggest issue is that they’re called the wizards. They can change their uniforms as much as they want but until they change the name, I don’t think it’ll ever work well.

I think Wizards is a truly awful nickname for a team. Makes me think to Harry Potter.

I have been a dedicated Wizards fan since we got John Wall in the 2010 draft, and boy it’s been rough. From Jan Vessely, to the magical moments of the 2014 and 2017 playoffs, and the extreme incompetence of Ernie Grunfield.

I’ve been saying we need a rebrand since 2010.

I want us to be the “Washington Momuments”.

Our logo is a the Washington Monument already. We have the Capitols and The Nationals already, it goes with the ethos. Leonsis owns Monumental Sports.

I think a team name should represent the area they’re in. Nothhing about the wizards resonates with the area. We started in Baltimore as the Bullets. Baltimore used to make steel and bullets, makes sense to me even if we moved. The Utah Jazz moved from NO. The Lakers moved from Minneapolis. Still kinda makes sense. Then from there our uniform could be anything from the DMV. Cherry blossoms don’t make sense on the wizards imo. They would on the monuments. We could do a metro map inspired uniform etc. I personally would like a marble white uniform and an obsidian black uniform (Vietnam Veterans)
