The Bullets initially wore blue and white uniforms with orange trim, but in the early 1970s, orange supplanted blue as the primary color. During this era, the Bullets also wore unconventional uniforms, featuring three thick stripes which ran from the right leg up to the left side of the jersey. Beginning with the <a href="/wiki/1973%E2%80%9374_NBA_season" title="1973–74 NBA season">1973–74 season</a>, coinciding with the team's move to <a href="/wiki/Landover,_Maryland" title="Landover, Maryland">Landover, Maryland</a>, to become the Capital Bullets, they changed their colors to red, white and blue to match the American flag. Those uniforms also featured large horizontal stripes on the chest of the jerseys, and three stars on the side panels of the shorts. The uniforms were kept when they changed their location identifier a year later to the Washington Bullets.<a href="#cite_note-254">[254]</a> The Bullets kept the "Stars and Stripes" uniform until 1987, although they made a minor adjustment prior to the 1985–86 season with additional thin stripes, the "Bullets" logo on the right leg, and thin shorts stripes replacing the three stars. In 1987, the Bullets changed their logo and uniforms, going with red uniforms on the road and white uniforms at home. With the exception of a switch to block lettering and numbers before the 1990–91 season (switching over from the Serpentine font used for both elements, with the player name on back rendered in lower case as well), the Bullets kept these uniforms until 1997. In 1997, the team owner, <a href="/wiki/Abe_Pollin" title="Abe Pollin">Abe Pollin</a>, decided to change the club's nickname from "Bullets" to "Wizards". The reasoning behind the name change was because Pollin did not want the team's name to continue to be associated with any violent connotations.<a href="#cite_note-255">[255]</a> The name change also included new logos, colors and uniforms, coinciding with the team's move to the new <a href="/wiki/MCI_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="MCI Center">MCI Center</a>. The new team's colors were blue, bronze and black. The primary logo depicted a wizard conjuring a basketball with a quarter moon. In 2007, the Wizards made minor modifications on their team jerseys and logos. To accommodate the gold–black alternate jerseys they introduced the previous season along with the design change on the Verizon Center floor, they changed their secondary team colors from bronze to metallic gold, and the player's name on the back of the jersey was changed from white and blue with bronze trim to gold (blue on home uniforms) with a change in lettering; the road uniform name lettering changed back to white with gold trim before the 2010–11 season. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif/220px-Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="49" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif/330px-Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif/440px-Washington_Wizards_wordmark.gif 2x" data-file-width="717" data-file-height="161" /></a><figcaption>The current wordmark for the Wizards</figcaption></figure> On May 10, 2011, the Wizards unveiled a new color scheme, uniforms, and logo.

James Pinder was also an essential part of the team, as he helped to engineer the jerseys to meet the players' standards. The team reverted to its traditional red, white and blue colors, which are the colors of the U.S. flag. The uniforms are based very closely on those worn from 1973 to 1987, during the team's glory years. Leonsis said the throwback to the old Bullets' uniforms was intentional; the only difference between those uniforms and the current ones is the team name on the jerseys. The colors were also used by Leonsis' other franchises, the Capitals and the Mystics, who adopted those colors in 2007 and 2011, respectively. Another Washington-based team, baseball's <a href="/wiki/Washington_Nationals" title="Washington Nationals">Washington Nationals</a>, also use this scheme; the <a href="/wiki/Washington_Commanders" title="Washington Commanders">Washington Commanders</a> (burgundy and gold) and <a href="/wiki/D.C._United" title="D.C.

Along with the white "Association", red "Icon" and navy "Statement" uniforms, a "City" uniform was also released as part of the collection. The 2017–18 "City" uniform featured a white base, "The District of Columbia" wordmark in navy and numbers in white.

In the 2021–22 season, the Wizards were one of 27 teams to wear mashup "City" uniforms in commemoration of the NBA's 75th anniversary. This uniform featured a lighter blue base and red stripes (a nod to the 1973–1985 Bullets uniforms), gold trim and stylized uniform numbers (acknowledging the 1997–2011 Wizards uniforms), the stylized "Washington" typeface (like the present-day uniforms), and a tribute to the recently deceased Wes Unseld along the jock tag. Three mashup logos were also added. The alternate, "Monument", logo on the waist was altered to feature the throwback ball from the 1973–1987 Bullets logo, while the logos on the shorts feature the alternate "dc" logo in the shape of the Bullets logo, and the "DMV" logo modeled after the alternate 1997–2011 Wizards' "dc" logo.<a href="#cite_note-266">[266]</a> The 2022–23 "City" uniform was unveiled alongside the Washington Nationals' "City Connect" uniform; both the NBA and <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball" title="Major League Baseball">Major League Baseball</a> currently have uniform deals with Nike.
