On May 11, the Wizards announced the start of the Geico Jersey Bracket Challenge, a multi-week, four-round competition to determine the best jersey in the history of the franchise. Fans voted on head-to-head matchups between 16 jerseys, ranging from the Chicago Packers of the early 1960s to the Wizards’ gold jerseys of the early 2000s to the different variations of the District jerseys of the last four seasons.

On Monday, the Wizards announced the fans’ champion: the 2016-17 Stars & Stripes alternate jersey. The one-seed Stars & Stripes defeated the three-seed black District jersey from the 2018-19 season, accumulating 63% of the votes in the final round.
