NDwas Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The Washington Wizards began this season with a very neat (yet small) name format on the back of their jerseys.Examples:But, as of November 17, they decided to make things easier for the casual viewer (without binoculars) and go a bit more traditional.Examples:I personally think the new road jerseys look like crap.

LEWJ Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 ok that's weird. I heard that they were adding the outlines back when preseason is over but I didn't know they were switching the fonts... to a font twice as big. It doesn't look terrible but it would look way better with the font used in preseason with an outline. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starchild Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The outline isn't necessary, IMO. I would've just kept the font as is and made it only blue on the home jersey and white on the road. Would've looked fine, I think.But I think jersey design is the least of the Wiz's problems now that Agent Zero is done until February-March.

uniguy22 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The addition of gold in favour of the bronze have made the Wizards uniform 10X better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J23P Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 i have no problem with the color schemes, but i think the logo and woodmark always was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 The plain gold was hard to see without any good/reflective lighting. The away jerseys look much worse now, though, with a bigger font, bolder outline, and names that stretch all the way across the back. Lame, and a downgrade. Who cares if you can read the names without binoculars? That's what those giant numbers are for. (Plus you can tell the players apart anyway when you watch the game.)

MVP Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 That looks even worse IMO. A simple colour change from gold to white on the dark jerseys would've been just right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDuffy26 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I agree. It's hard to see a dark on dark color, but now we've got a white on dark on dark, which doesn't look too good. I'm a firm believer that the name should either be white or team color, but not both. Interesting Baseball fact: In 1960: Baltimore, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh had 2 AAA affiliates, while Los Angeles had 3 teams...and the New York Yankees had the Kansas City Athletics.Interesting Hockey fact: In 1974, the Buffalo Sabres draft Taro Tsujimoto of the Toyko Katanas with th 183 pick in the draft. It was later revealed that Taro didn't exist, but Taro is still listed as an offical draftee of the Buffalo Sabres in their Media Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I kinda like the new nameplates, but they could at lesat balence the names. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telemundo219 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 They should've kept them like last years (in terms of name plate). The letters should be white and they should have a gold outline and maybe another black outline. College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatManTC Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 other then the size of the names. i dont think it looks bad. i think the outlines keeps the look of the back of the jersey uniform. i am surprised you guys dont dig it. by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The home one is okay, but I'd need to see it with a longer name. The away nameplates are uglier than Daniels's shoes in pic #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delux247 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I still am amazed at what a difference the bronze-to-gold change has made. Fantastic!By the way, anybody know where I can get a pic of just the script on their alternate jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powersurge Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'm probably the only one that thinks that the change to gold was a noticeable downgrade. I really liked the darker and more orange looking bronze color over the more yellow gold color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
