Kansas City Wiz / Kansas City Wizards
November 9, 2019
The Kansas City Wiz (1996) and Wizards (1997-2010) are a pair of abandoned brand identities from Major League Soccer’s Kansas City franchise, one of the 10 original clubs that began play in 1996. The club was owned by Kansas Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt for much of the Wiz/Wizards era, including during the team’s 2000 MLS Cup championship season. The franchise re-branded as Sporting Kansas City in 2011 contemporaneously with the team’s move into the new $200 million Livestrong Sporting Park.
