For weeks if not months now fans of the Washington Wizards have been buzzing about possible changes to the team logo. Some want not only a new logo but a new/old name in reverting back to the ‘Washington Bullets’.

While I doubt the Wizards ownership (or the NBA) is too excited about a move back to the ‘Bullets’, especially in light of the Gilbert Arenas locker room gun incident last year, the team has acknowledged they will be making significant branding changes to the team which will include a logo change.

Today, we were reading WithLeather.com (a sports blog gem from Uproxx), and stumbled across what may be either good detective work on the Wizards new logo, or just wishful thinking. Here is what Withleather had to say about what they found (photo of possible logo after the jump):

It’s no news that the Washington Wizards have been in the process of reverting back to their franchise’s classic red, white, and blue color scheme, because I guess that’s what you do when you play in the nation’s capital. But now one image of a piece of NBA apparel seems to have unintentionally leaked what might be the new Wizards logo. Of course, this is just the old logo with the blue and gold swapped out for blue and red.
