BREAKING: The Washington Wizards have just unveiled their stunning new City Edition uniforms, set to make their debut on November 16, 2025, against the Brooklyn Nets. This redesign pays homage to the franchise’s beloved gold alternate look from 2006 to 2009 while incorporating fresh elements that fans have eagerly awaited.
The new jersey features a striking black stripe at its center, accompanied by a white stripe above the word “Washington” displayed prominently across the chest. These design elements draw inspiration from the Wizards’ 2021 “mixtape” City Edition jerseys, ensuring a modern twist on a classic look. The team will wear this eye-catching uniform a total of 29 times during the upcoming season, amplifying excitement among players and fans alike.
According to Rebecca Winn, senior vice president of marketing for the Wizards, the decision to remix the classic design stemmed directly from fan feedback. “When Nike directed us to ‘remix’ a former City Edition, we immediately thought of the classic Wizards uniform first worn in 2006,” Winn stated in a recent news release.
The new look is not just about aesthetics. Inside the “Washington” lettering, a silhouette of the iconic Washington Monument adds a local touch, connecting the team to its D.C. roots. The revamped Wizards logo is featured on the belt buckle, while a “D.C.” hand logo with a gold outline appears on the right side of the jersey, representing the team’s identity.
Additionally, a “DMV” insignia, symbolizing the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area, makes its return on the left side of the shorts, marking a significant nod to regional pride. This is particularly notable as the “DMV” designation was first introduced on a D.C. area sports team’s uniform during the 2021 season.
Fans have long requested this black-and-gold design, making its introduction a highly anticipated moment in the Wizards’ history. The franchise’s commitment to honoring its past while embracing contemporary styles resonates with the community, fostering a deeper connection between the team and its supporters.
A matching City Edition court is also expected to be unveiled at a later date, further enhancing the overall fan experience during home games.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on the Wizards as they debut this fresh look, embodying both nostalgia and modernity. Be sure to mark your calendars for November 16 as the Wizards take the court in their new uniforms, promising an exhilarating season ahead.
