The video is perfect and is a nice touch on a throwback Thursday.
The Wizards are using these jerseys to celebrate their 25th anniversary since they did the rebrand, and they will also have a custom court for some games during the season.

The Wizards made the playoffs a few times with these jerseys, so maybe they are hoping for a return to the playoffs by bringing these back.
The Wizards did not announce when they will wear them, but it will be fun to see these jerseys and a custom court during the upcoming 2022-2023 season.
