Wale Reaches Out To Kanye To Design New Uniforms For The Wizards

In October of last year the Washington Wizards took a page out of the Toronto Raptors' playbook by employing a rapper to be a part of their organization. The Wiz gave DC-native, Wale the title of 'creative liaison' with the hopes that he could help provide some more excitement for their already entertaining squad. 

Speaking with ESPN The Magazine, Wale delivered some more information as to his plans for the future of theWizards and it could include some new jerseys. 

"I want to be a shot in the arm to DC basketball," he said. "My job is to provide a spark, at all costs. I'm not going to do anything corny, but I'm talking to Kanye about designing new uniforms. I want to see the phone booth rocking every time I come here. I want to create the 'Lake Show,' create what the Bulls had. I want to take the personality of our stars—John [Wall], Otto [Porter], Marcin [Gortat]—and create what Kemp and Payton had, what LeBron and D-Wade had. That's the vibe I want."

Look, I can remember that fuzzy reception on Fox 45 watching Calbert Cheaney and Chris Whitney and those teams lose to the Phoenix Suns by 15, 20. But now? Now we have a team to be proud of. And even if you're coming to a game for the wrong reasons, like trying to win a pair of shoes or something, I want you into it. We want to sell this place out.

The Wizards certainly don't need any help creating any more of a buzz considering they already have one of the most exciting back courts in the game and, at 29-13, are currently the #2 seed in the Conference. Washingtonrecently decided to go back to their 'Bullets' inspired uniforms, so another change seems unlikely- though a Wale xWizards x West collab would definitely get the people talking.
