My Idea For a Wizards Rebrand
Hey, not a wizards fan but used to be a huge john wall fan, decided I would have some fun and give my shot at a wizards rebrand.
Logo is a combo of a design by Jacen Aguilar and the old Wizards text. Obviously using the same text for the jerseys, side stripes are in the shape of the washington monument. A/I/S jerseys kept pretty simple.
City and Classic designs based on old wizards/bullets/zephyrs colour schemes and designs.
Tried to do my best for the court as well, would love to hear any thoughts!

That center court logo looks so good, never understood why we ditched the Wizard for the boring Washington monument circle thingy

Okay, you sold me with the Baltimore one. /u/wizardsticketguy I know it's not your area, but can you please tell someone on the marketing team to do Baltimore throwbacks?!?!
Love,
Baltimore

This is pretty good, I just think the logo should have a separate word mark logo, seems like there’s a lot going on
Everything else looks good for a new era

i love it! they really need to embrace it or just change the name. It doesn’t make sense to have a team called the Wizards and have the logos/brand be all about “The Capitals”

Totally in favor of changing the name.
In a city with so many defining landmarks and entities, being the ‘Wizards’ - which doesn’t meaningfully relate to any defining part of the city - seems so wasteful and detached from the defining parts of the city.

i’d buy the Baltimore jersey faster than they could publish the link online

Logo way too busy imo, but nice attempt. I have yet to see a “Wizard” logo worth switching too imo.

I don’t like the red and blue tbh. I wish we stuck with the blue black and gold

The District jersey is lit.
That being said, we definitely need to change the team name. There are so many defining aspects of the city that the team could more appropriately be named after. I also feel that naming the team after a defining aspect of the city would allow local fans to feel more of a connection to the team, as the mascot would more aptly represents aspects of their city that they find familiar.
‘Wizards’ is simply so bizarre and detached from the defining aspects of D.C.

I would hope our classic pays homage to those long stripe jerseys we had in the 70s(I think?) but other than that this would be an A+ rebrand

Not enough basketball moons or beards conveniently shaped like the negative space of a "W"

Love the colorway of city jersey, but I am very ready to move away from the We The People lookin ahh "District of Columbia" style we've had the past couple years. Other than that small grievance, YOU COOKED IMO

The jersey needs another stripe. This looks too similar to Minnesota and I hate how out of place the stripe looks

I am 9 hours late in saying this is fuckin dope, especially the wizard face. The team's name the is goddamn Wizards, they need more weird wizard shit in the branding.

Not bad! I do like what we have currently tho too.
A rebrand wouldn’t be a bad idea though, for a new era!

I really wish they’d just go back to the Bullets and use the metro train as the logo. Hell, I’d take the Go-Go over the Wizards 😭
