Overview

  • The team announced the Cherry Blossom set will return as its City Edition uniform for next season, with images shared in a Trae Young post on X.
  • Wizards chief marketing officer Hunter Lochmann said the organization worked with Nike and the NBA to bring the design back.
  • The uniform features pink jerseys and shorts with a blue ombré and cherry blossom graphics, a nod to Washington’s spring festival tradition.
