Washington Wizards unveil 2024-25 City Edition uniform
The Washington Wizards have introduced a fresh new look for the 2024-25 season with their “Beyond Boundaries” City Edition uniforms. Building on the “boundary stone” theme introduced last season, this new uniform celebrates Washington, D.C.'s historic legacy and boundary-breaking spirit, with an emphasis on a future without limits. With a bold "hydrogen blue" base and thoughtful details that connect the past and the present, the Wizards’ latest threads have both a compelling story and a striking appearance.
The “Beyond Boundaries” uniform pays homage to Benjamin Banneker, the African American mathematician and astronomer who, in the 18th century, placed 40 stone markers around Washington’s original boundary. Last season’s uniform honored Banneker’s work, and this year’s design extends the theme with updated colors and patterns. The timing of the uniform’s unveiling on Banneker’s birthday highlights the Wizards’ commitment to honoring his legacy.
Six stars appear down the side of the jersey, with three representing Banneker’s triangulation of the first boundary stone, tying back to his mathematical contributions. The blue ripple effect on the trim further symbolizes the movement and energy that defines D.C., radiating out to the greater DMV area.
One of the most noticeable elements is the unique “hydrogen blue” color—a shade that has never before appeared on an NBA uniform. According to the Wizards, the color represents the energy and flow that D.C. brings to the region, capturing the city’s vibrant and evolving character. This “hydrogen blue” is complemented by the ripple effect pattern along the trim, creating a visual link to the powerful impact that Washington has had and continues to have on the surrounding areas.
The jersey’s typography also connects to history. “District of Columbia” is written across the chest in a typeface inspired by 18th-century map lettering, echoing the city’s historical roots. The same font style is used for “DMV” on the buckle of the shorts, grounding the uniform in both city and regional pride.
A remix of the Wizards’ City Edition logo, featuring a boundary stone replacing the Washington Monument, appears on the shorts and connects the uniform’s theme back to the team’s identity. With their new City Edition threads, the Wizards emphasize that "no boundaries can contain us,” merging the city’s groundbreaking history with a modern look for a team that represents the heart of D.C.
The Wizards will showcase the “Beyond Boundaries” uniform 19 times this season, debuting the look on December 1 in a home game against the Dallas Mavericks on a themed court. Fans can look forward to seeing the Wizards celebrate the energy, resilience, and history of Washington, D.C., every time they take the court in these powerful new uniforms.
