Washington Wizards Alternate Nike NBA City Uniforms 2022/2023 "5"

Fine and Performance Arts Center (12:00 P.M)


     First introduced in 2016, the City Edition uniforms is updated each year. While some teams have stuck with the same design for multiple seasons, others continually switch it up. These uniforms represent the stories, history, and heritage that make each franchise unique. This honors the inherent bond between the court, community, and culture. The design team at Nike collaboration worked closely with each team. Last season, the Washington Wizards and Nike design team came up with a Washington Wizards Cherry blossoms uniform.  The bloom city edition uniforms pay tribute to the city's iconic cherry blossoms. Washington, D. C's cherry blossoms represent hope and new beginnings. The planting of cherry trees in Washington, DC originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the people of the United States from the people of Japan. DC's cherry blossoms bloom around the last week of March into the first week of April. This idea for the uniforms relates to visual communication. The uniforms have a very great meaning to it. The design on the side of the jersey and shorts with the cherry blossoms on it was a very great design. Also, the primary Wizards ball logo is displayed prominently on each side of the shorts. It connects the cherry blossoms pink to a deep blue, symbolizing the water of the tidal basin the cherry blossom trees call home.

  Donell Pettus VDCM 230 (Intro To Comp Graphics) October 13th, 2023 Direct Effect Innovation "7"  The Washington Hilton- 1919 Connecticut Ave NW Washington, DC (10:00 AM)        On October 13, 2023, the Direct Effect Innovation hosted an event at the Washington Hilton on 1919 Connecticut Ave. This was a competition between schools around the world competing to make a pitch to the marketing judges for their brand. They had a book for all the students that participated.  This book was colorful. It seems like the book was covered with shining stars. I was very amazed how the front cover was different than the back cover. Both covers had greats designs on them.  The design team did a great job bolding the name of the book and making the fonts the main focal point. I want to say thank you to Direct Effect Innovation for inviting me again. It was a nice experience.
