The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[DarrellsMyHero28]

People always laugh at me when I say that.

I really could care less about the team being called the Wizards. I just hate the colors. I will say this though, if the Wizards changes colors and/or names, the Mystics have to do the same.

Considering that Leonsis owns them as well, it wouldn't be an issue.

Yep. That is why I said any change should be for both teams.

I really think a player like Enes Kanter is what this team could use. However, I can't help but think about what is going on in Portland with Greg Oden. Dude had so much potential, but he just can't get on the court. Same thing with Yao too. He had his run, but now dude is just done. I guess Shaq was able to avoid any long lasting injuries in his prime because of his thick build. Kanter kind looks built, but I just don't know.

With all that said, he is worth the risk.

Giants, Cardinals, Steelers were first the Pirates. I believe when Colorado got an MLB team, they named it the Rockies...like the NHL team that left town to NJ.

Its not that rare. That's why I think Senators is a good idea. Do the Nationals own the name? Or do the Rangers for MLB? If its the Rangers, it shouldn't matter. If its the Nats, aren't the Learners minority owners in Monumental Sports?

Yes, the Rangers own the name and yeah, the Lerners are minority owners in Monumental Sports.

So the New Jersey Devils used to be the Colorado Rockies? I did not know that. Are you sure that's true?

When the Expos moved here there was talk about naming them the Senators as the two previous vaseball teams were. But the District scrapped that. See their license plate: Taxation Without Representation. There are no DC senators.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

As I remember it, Senators was the supposed new name. They had something worked out worked out with Texas. But part of the future stadium deal was that they didn't name them that because of the representation issue.

That is just stupid. The Nationals kind sounds good now, but when they first announced it I was like

The best, or worst, thing they was forget the "o" on the jersey. The word "Natinal" is too funny.

The Mystics already changed thier colors.

I heard the name Mystics isn't on the new uni's. Instead they have some company name? They pimped out the uniform for sponsorship dollars. I haven't seen it yet but it's on the internet.

And Ted announced at the beginning if the season that the Wizards are going back to red, white and blue next year.

As far as the name goes, imo it's Bullets or bust. Anything else is unacceptable and we might as well stay as the Wizards.

They sure did put the sponsor on the uniform. Jesus...



I guess if you need extra cash and you're going to do it, better to do it with a team that nobody really cares about. I'd be livid if he did that with the Wizards uni's.

That's all we can do. Just keep drilling it home. I think if he realizes how much the fans really, truly want it (and how much money he can make off of merchandising) he'll change it. There's an online petition going around but I think just simple emails from fans can do more.

106.7. Is the one that bothers me the most. They're supposed to be the radio home of the Wiz and they'll have shows right before the Wizards broadcast begins where the host has no clue. Bitching about not keeping Adam Morrison for example. It's beyond embarrassing.

you mean like when Chad dukes suggested the wizards change their name to Warriors? Let that sink in for a minute. lol

Yeah I hard that. The sad thing is, Chad Dukes is one of the more knowledgeable on air personalities at the station when it comes to the Wizards. Let that sink in. What a disaster

Kevin and Rock's suggestion was the Regulators.

The Mystics jerseys are pretty nice. I am surprised it took them so long to put a sponsor on their jersey. I think a couple of WNBA teams are already doing it.

It was a picture on the internet with the Wizards logo in red white and blue.

Here it is
