They prob won't go back to the bullets.... but anything (minus the Red____) has to be better than the wizards.

The organization renewed the Bullets trademark in 2013. Since the federal trademark registrations have been maintained and renewed, the team continues to use the Bullets mark in commerce and, from a trademark standpoint, there should be nothing impeding a name change.

They wore the Bullets jerseys and even replaced the logos and name for one night last season. All the TV graphics read Bullets. Still no indication that a change is coming.

Didn't they change the team names to the Wizards from the Bullets for PR reasons? They didn't want to have any association with violence and/or guns?

After Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1997, Pollin, who had a close friendship with Rabin, made the decision to change the name, citing a moral obligation to remove the association of bullets from his basketball team.
