And, frankly, they look better. A LOT better! If I was playing a game of pick up basketball - which is sort of comedic in itself - and I had a choice between a 'Wizards' jersey and a 'Kuwait" jersey with matching color schemes, I'm taking the 'Kuwait' jersey every damn time. The Wiz remain just a complete travesty of a name/organization. Absolutely nothing has gone right since Abe Pollin thought it would be a great idea to change the name from the 'Bullets' (a totally kick-ass name) to a name commonly used by teenage travel soccer teams, the Wizards (embarrassingly known as 'The Wiz" for short. Except everybody beats them?).
Change it to the Washington Kuwaits for all I care...change it to the Washington Window Lickers, the DC Slapfellas...anything is better than the Wizards.
All the wizards need is a great draft pick, preferably a local boy from g'town named lubick. They're sure to turn it around after that. Or, they could change their logo to a wizard more fitting to their personality: radagast the brown.
ReplyDeletewait a minute, are these last two posts linked? maybe the taliban corpses were wearing these kuwait jerseys, and just the sight of them made the marines think "the wiz", and have to go.
DeleteKnowing the Wiz they would most likely bungle the logo issue and mistakenly adopt notable Squib Argus Filch.
ReplyDeleteall kidding aside, i really like the new unis for the wizards...they now challenge the minnesota wild for the biggest gap between coolness of unis and crappiness of team name....
