Time for a Name Change?
I think so. Washington should go back to being the bullets. And keep the orange Uni's.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
I hope so, but there was a reason why they changed it to the Wizards.

Political Correctness.
The team didn't like being the "Bullets" in the murder capital of the world.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
I don't think it is disrespectful for a team name to be the Bullets. The Bullets uniforms are soooo much better than the Wizards and the Wizards have done nothing but lose, the Bullets were winners.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
Bullets would be awesome, and wearing those orange jersey on every home game would be awesome aswell!
On away games they should wear black / orange ones!!!

Re: Time for a Name Change?
I don't think anyone wanted to switch, and I don't think anyone would put up much opposition to switch back. Heck, we could even just start using the orange retro uniforms as our current jersey, what with few people seeming to recognize it and it's relatively modern-ish look.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
I'd be happy with some new uni's. It seems like every team except the Bulls and Wizards change uni's often.

I think noone could imagine how it would look like if a Bulls player would wear a jersey other than the classic! They will never change it, it is a symbol of the great years with MJ!

So it's about winning in the uniforms then? In that case I hope ours become 'classics' as is within the next 7 years. That would mean that we won a lot.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
Do the Bulls still use the black jerseys? When they first brought them out, I thought they were the sickest jerseys I had ever seen. Come to think of it, I still like the black Chicago uni's.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
Well I don't think they could go back to the Bullets because the reason they changed is not to represent the high murder rates in DC. But they should definitely change the name and theme. Because the "Wizards" is probably the worst name in sports.

Re: Time for a Name Change?
I don't really mind being the Wizards, but I don't like our logo/colors/jersey. I think they all need a complete overhaul.
