FinsUp1214 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Dang it, no surprise throwbacks for the Jazz tonight. It would've been the perfect night for it. Well, maybe 50th anniversary of 1997 instead? EDIT: Yet the scorebug for Root Sports is using the '97 logo. What. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll gladly take the W, but that was indeed weird. It wouldn't completely surprise me if Utah had planned to wear those but for whatever reason couldn't (past the deadline, too many uniforms, etc.) I'd say there's a good chance that they bring the mountain throwbacks back next year.

Old School Fool Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I wouldn't mind them using the mountain jersey as a throwback, I would definitely like to see it again, however I have no desire to see the mountain identity return on a full time basis now that we got the music note back.

ColorWerx says no, but the shades look different to me. With the move to the LCA for next season, I wonder if the Stones will be emphasizing red more in their color scheme. LCA itself is predominantly red because of the main tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought a "best of both worlds" approach would be the best route to go; J-note logos and wordmark with mountain color palette. Of course it could do without black, and maybe pick-and-choose between light blue or turquoise to simplify, but something like that has always been my dream look for the Jazz. But otherwise, I've long wanted an occasional mountain jersey throwback alternate just for the nostalgia rushes. It was the first Jazz uniform I remember, and the one with the best memories to it. I loved those teams from 97-00 more than I've loved any other team in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine with all the effort they put into putting the '97 stuff everywhere - even the scorebugs - that they didn't at least consider throwbacks. I'm starting to think it was talked about, but got nixed for whatever reason. Its really too bad, cause throwbacks and Karl Malone were the only things missing from an otherwise awesome reunion night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJosh Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not sure if this has been discussed but heard Jazz were getting rid of the green seats after this season. Thought I should share incase it hasn't been brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Lebron wore protective eye glasses during the game last night vs. WSH, due to getting his eye scratched in the game before. Is this the first time he has worn glasses or goggles in an NBA game? I know he has worn protective masks before but I don't recall him ever wearing glasses or goggles in a game. I'm also trying to figure out whether the yellowish tint of the lenses intentionally matched the yellow jerseys (which is kind of cool, never seen that before), or if they just happen to be yellow.

Yeah, I guess if he ripped of sleeves of his jersey mid-game after missing shots in the past, I guess throwing his glasses after missing a shot was just something waiting to happen.
