Yesterday, the Washington Wizards updated their Twitter profile picture to feature the blue and gold Wizards logo used from 1997 through 2011. To accompany this change, they posted two sizzle reels of footage from those years, the first highlighting the logo and the second featuring game footage and clips of fans donning retro Wizards gear.
Today the Wizards posted another video on Twitter officially confirming that the classic white, blue and gold jerseys would be making a return to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Wizards name. The team, formerly known as the Washington Bullets, underwent a name change in 1997 due in part to the prominence of gun violence in Washington in the 1990s.
