"The Washington Wizards unveiled their City Edition uniforms Monday, a nod to the iconic gold alternate look the franchise wore from 2006 to 2009. Instead of duplicating the previously worn all-gold uniforms, the jersey -- which debuts Nov. 16 against the Brooklyn Nets -- includes a black stripe in the middle with a white one above "Washington" across the chest. Those elements are taken from Washington's 2021 "mixtape" City Edition look."
"Inside the "Washington" across the chest is a silhouette of the Washington Monument. The belt buckle includes a revamped Wizards logo. The D.C. hand logo is featured in white with a gold outline on the right side. In another reference to the 2021 City Edition design, a "DMV" insignia -- referencing the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area -- appears on the left side of the shorts. The 2021 uniform marked the first time "DMV" appeared on a D.C. area sports team's uniform."
"The black-and-gold uniform design had been a request from fans and players since the City Edition series began in 2017, according to Wizards senior vice president of marketing Rebecca Winn. "When Nike directed us to 'remix' a former City Edition, we immediately thought of the classic Wizards uniform first worn in 2006," Winn said in a news release. The Wizards will wear the uniform 29 times during the 2025-26 season."
The Washington Wizards introduced a black-and-gold City Edition uniform that references the franchise's 2006 gold alternate and the 2021 mixtape City Edition. The jersey debuts Nov. 16 against the Brooklyn Nets and will be worn 29 times during the 2025-26 season. Design features include a central black stripe with a white stripe above the chest wordmark, black stripes outlining the neckline, shoulders and numbers, and a black side panel on the shorts and waistband. The chest wordmark contains a silhouette of the Washington Monument, the belt buckle carries a revamped logo, a white-and-gold D.C. hand appears on the right, and a "DMV" insignia is on the left of the shorts. A matching City Edition court will be unveiled later.
