The Wizards released their new “Earned Edition” jerseys on Wednesday. They are essentially a red version of their “Rep the District” jerseys that came out in white last season and black this season. As mentioned in yesterday’s piece, they look very similar to the Bullets’ 1990’s road jerseys.
That leads me to a question: Should the Wizards release a Bullets throwback jersey that the players wear on the court in future seasons?
There are several reasons why this makes sense but I will just touch on three of them. First, the jerseys are likely to resonate with many fans who still identify more with the Wizards franchise as the Bullets during their glory days in the 1970’s.
