Not sure how I feel about this. Too many teams have the red, white, and blue color scheme. 76ers, Hawks, Nets, and now the Wizards...Wizards returning to retro uniform colors in 2011-12
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Wizards are turning red, white and blue.
Team President Ernie Grunfeld said Thursday the Wizards will change the colors of their uniforms for the 2011-12 season.
The switch is spurred by new owner Ted Leonsis, whose Washington Capitals also wear the colors of the U.S. flag. Leonsis has said the desire for new colors was among the top suggestions he received from fans after assuming control of the team earlier this year.
The Wizards, who open training camp next week, will spend one last season in their current colors of slate blue, black, gold and white.
