lilgump Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thought this was insteresting as I was reading around on ESPN.comQ: Rate those new gold uniforms. A: I like them better than the blue [road uniforms]. But I really want to bring black the red, white and blue. I don't want the [old] Bullets name; I just want to go back to [the Bullets'] red, white and blue. I talked to [management] about it and they said it takes two years [to make that kind of uniform change]. Hopefully we will. you can find it herehttp://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?pa...mp;lid=tab2pos2its below the first name article, the one on one section interview with Gilbert Arenas.What does everyone think. I find 2 interesting points to this article.1. He like the gold/black better than the blue.and 2. He wants to go back to the redwhiteblue.Thoughts? Do you think the ownership would really change colors just for one player? The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

uniguy22 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I actually really like the Wizards jerseys. Except for that alternate. My high school basketball team had kind of the same style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 i'm the complete opposite of him.i'd love to see them go back to the bullets name, but keep the current color scheme, with the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The current colors are fantastic, but I think a D.C. team is almost obligated to wear red, white and blue. They could switch back, and if another team decided to adopt the Wizards' current scheme down the road, I would have no issue with it. It's not like Washington has a long, illustrious history wearing the current scheme and are forever synonymous with it.Whatever they do, they need to scrap their logos YESTERDAY. The primary and the DC logo are beyond awful, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshadow1031 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've never been a fan of the the new colors or name. Red/white/blue just fits DC so much better and the name is just... meh.

Milo Meningocele Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 By the way, I was watching the Pistons at Washington last night:Has it been mentioned before that the Wizards' uniform trim is copper-ish, yet their floor features a yellow reminiscent of urine?

Just point and laugh at Brenda Haywood. She did it.A color switchback requires a name switchback. Gold fits the Wizards. Red, white and blue fits the Bullets.Let's just forget the last ten years even happened (logo/uniform/color wise). Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.

hawk36 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I agree that a move back to the Bullets unis would be great. I understand the PC reasons for not being called the Bullets but why the Wizzards? Is there any specific reason for Wizzards in Washington DC. I know I'll get raked over the coals by the traditionalists but I'd love to see them:1. Use an updated Bullets look (similar to what the Sonics did)2. Drop the nickname altogether and simply be Washington DC3. Place the name DISTRICT on the jerseys accross the chestI'm telling you, they'd be a top seller.

Brian in Boston Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The most pertinent question is this: Who gives a rat's ass what Gilbert Arenas wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDwas Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The most pertinent question is this: Who gives a rat's ass what Gilbert Arenas wants?Are you kidding me?Gilbert J. Arenas is an NBA superstar.He is the most popular athlete in DC in years.He is the perfect role model.He is everything the Wizards organization and the city of Washington could have asked for...and a helluva LOT more.He can do whatever the hell he wants.So...do you want to listen to the 81-year-old owner who hasn't won in 28 years?Or do you want to listen to the 24-year-old face of the franchise?Advantage: Agent Zero.

Jamikel Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Their current scheme is absolutely perfect for a team called the Bullets. Besides, red, white, and blue, are waaaaaaaaaaaay overdone. But personally, I'm holding out hope that they change their name to the Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Red/white/blue actually isn't all that overdone in the NBA. You have the Pistons, the Clippers, kind of the Nets, and barely the 76ers. The presidential seal colors are okay, and they do match their fellow tenants, but "Washington Bullets" in red/white/blue is where it's at. I never bought into that "the Bullets name glorifies crime in DC" nonsense, personally. Come on. No it doesn't. (I also heard that it was because Abe Pollin was friends with Yitzhak Rabin, who was shot and killed, but that explanation is harder to believe.)

IceCap Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 They need to go back to both the red, white, and blue scheme, and the Bullets name. Use a modernized version of this logo (obviously one of the biggest changes would be to replace "BALTIMORE" with "WASHINGTON").:And bring back these uniforms (with an updated wordmark to match the updated logo): PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
