2021-22 Nike NBA City Edition Uniform: Washington Wizards
The 2021-22 Washington Wizards Nike NBA City Edition Uniform remixes the franchise’s six-decade history and pays homage to an organizational pillar who powered the team to some of its most legendary seasons — and left us too soon a year ago.

Wes Unseld helped define the franchise’s days in Baltimore, its move to Washington, and its 1978 championship season. The red stripes atop a blue base pay homage to the classic Bullets uniforms from the ‘60s and ‘70s, and Unseld’s iconic 1968 season — when he earned both the league’s MVP and Rookie of the Year honors.
- The anthem sports his autograph, uniform number and five all-star appearances.
- Below a red belt, the shorts feature a wide red panel on each side reminiscent of the late ‘60s.
- The royal blue base color and jersey number set are an ode to the teams of the 2000s, and gold makes its return to the uniform set, trimming the edges of the jersey numbers.
- The “Washington” wordmark across the jersey’s chest is a remixed take on the look that highlighted the team’s memorable “Stars & Stripes” run in 2016-17.
- On the left short leg, a brand-new DMV logo in gold, white and blue acknowledges the franchise’s history across the entire D.C.-Maryland-Virginia region for the first time.
- And the monumental basketball on the belt buckle and “D.C. Hands” logo on the shorts bring us back to the present.
The jersey honors a team that’s firmly rooted in its history, with sights on yet another rise.
