The Washington Wizards will be unveiling their new jerseys and color scheme on Tuesday, and it looks like there will be a major logo change as well. The team is planning on phasing out the current logo, showing a Wizard shooting out of a blue logo, according to a report by Michael Lee of the Washington Post.
While the team has been pretty tight-lipped about the entire re-design, multiple sources have informed me that the current logo - with a wizard shooting out of a crescent basketball - will no longer be prominent image to represent the franchise.
This isn't a huge surprise, given that the team's press release about Tuesday's event mentioned a logo change. But it should make Wizards fans frustrated with the current colors feel better. Lee reports that the new logo will pay homage to "reconnecting with the past."
