Kansas City Wizards Overview
Officially,
it all began on June 6, 1995 when Major League
Soccer Chairman Alan I. Rothenberg introduced
Kansas City as one of the ten charter members
of Major League Soccer.
The
real fun began four months later, when the league
unveiled the nicknames, logos and uniform designs
for all ten charter franchises in a gala event
at the Palladium in New York City on October
17, 1995. A separate press conference was held
at the same time in Kansas City, setting the
stage for the unveiling of Kansas City's newest
professional sports franchise... the Kansas
City Wiz.
Although
early speculation toward the name centered around
the obvious connection with the "Wizard
of Oz", that was never the intention of
the club. Rather, the team wanted a completely
unique name that would create instant awareness
for the team throughout Kansas City, as well
as the rest of the United States. With the "Wiz"
moniker, the club created market awareness.
The
Wiz name originally came to life following a
month-long campaign in the Kansas City Star,
asking fans to submit names for the new MLS
franchise. Over 3,200 entries were received.
However,
things do change, and on November 18, 1996,
the club officially extended its name to Wizards.
As part of the name change, the club also modified
their popular and colorful logo. The team crest
now features the Wizards moniker in a geometric
shape with the familiar soccer ball and rainbow
trail still centered at the top. The team's
primary colors remain Carolina Blue and Black.
