Robinhood, the financial services platform renowned
for pioneering commission-free stock trading, has been selected by the
Washington Wizards as the official brokerage and jersey sponsorship partner.
This multi-year agreement signifies Robinhood’s first foray into the NBA
sporting world.
The collaboration will see Robinhood’s logo
displayed on the Wizards’ home and away jerseys, starting from the 2023-24 NBA
season. This step aims to introduce Robinhood to the fan base of the NBA
sporting team.
Baiju Bhatt, the Chief Creative Officer and
Co-Founder of Robinhood Markets said: “Robinhood
is proud to join with the Wizards and show the District what our customers
already know; Robinhood gives you the tools and confidence to invest in a way
that’s right for you.”
Beginning with the Wizards’ game against the Indiana
Pacers on October 25, 2023, and extending through the 2025-26 season,
Robinhood’s logo will adorn the upper left shoulder of all Wizards’ jerseys.
Fans will get their first look at these new jerseys during the opening game at
Capital One Arena on October 28.
The partnership will be formally celebrated with a
special ceremony during the first quarter break, and fans in attendance will
receive a free “Wizards x Robinhood” branded t-shirt.

the sporting sector, the platform is grappling with regulatory challenges in
the US. In August, the company ended its partnership with Jump Trading.
Jump Trading was the pioneering company to support
Robinhood’s entry into cryptocurrency markets in 2018. It was an
early adopter, having been in the industry since 2017. However, Jump Trading recently pulled back from
