Wasatch Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Anyone know if you that game on Friday is on ESPN? I don't have the League Pass with DirecTV so I doubt I will be able to see these unis unless the game is 1 of the Friday night matchups on ESPN. Probably just have to wait for Sportscenter highlights.BTW the current wordmark is horrible so what's the big deal with using the old one since it's better than the current.I?ll be there so I?ll be sure to take some photos so I can post them on here.

DustDevil61 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 If you're in Utah, the game is also on Fox Sports Rocky Mtn., though I don't know if DirectTV carries it. AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I feel like I?m repeating myself (I probably am), so oh well?.I disagree on the wordmarks being generic; they?re only generic when put on generic looking uniforms. The Utah Jazz identity is in a crisis and is torn in between trying to create a new generic Utah-looking brand, or remaining true to its original roots.Anyway, in a movement to ditch the green alternate, I decided to substitute it for the navy blue.ALTERNATEIcecap79 suggested that I go back to my first concept, so I paired it with the color set of the last concepts I created before this, and this was the result.Also, BringBackTheVet said that when you have numbers that have more trim/outlining than your wordmark, it draws your focus more to them. I do happen to agree with this remark but the outlining on the numbers below is so thin (identical to the 80's Jazz uniforms) that it doesn't really pull the attention away from the wordmark or the rest of the uniform.HOMEAWAYALTERNATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojohnny56 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Let's see if I can strong arm Direct TV into letting me get a free 1 night preview of League Pass so I can see the Jazz old logo in action tonight. That would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhans203 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The Deseret News ran this article today about the retro green jerseys. Let's play a little game called, "Find the Blatant Errors." The winner gets the satisfaction of being validated as an obscure 1980's NBA Jersey nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The Deseret News ran this article today about the retro green jerseys. Let's play a little game called, "Find the Blatant Errors." The winner gets the satisfaction of being validated as an obscure 1980's NBA Jersey nut.Errors? How about calling them updates, or even improvements? The Hardwood Classics are pretty much identical except the logos and numbers and stitched on and Adidas is using a brighter green and yellow. I think these are many steps up from what they wore in the early 80's!There were some very interested player quotes in that Deseret News article. Williams said...Williams is just relieved the Jazz don't have to wear the uniforms Utah wore in the 1990s ? the purple and white ones with the mountains plastered all over the tops and shorts. In fact, he almost feels bad for his shooting coach whose No. 14 jersey in that style hangs in EnergySolutions Arena's rafters."The mountain logo's one of the ugliest jerseys that ever has been in an NBA arena," Williams said. "That's why I said Jeff Hornacek shouldn't have it up there. They should just put the Jazz note for him, too, regardless of if he wore it or not. That jersey's horrendous." Finally, someone agrees with me that the mountain uniforms were horrible! Paul Millsap apparently loves the old note uniforms too..."I actually like those (J-note uniforms)," said the Louisiana native, who was born six years after the Jazz left his home state. "If we can go back to those, that'd be great." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm just pissed off that these are still being referred to as from the 1979-80 season. I've contacted both the Jazz and the NBA about this error, but so far I've heard nothing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbojohnny56 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the pictures Wasatch. While I love seeing the old J note in action the green just ain't the Jazz. Definitely want to see the J note on the new unis next year whether it's recolored or with the old colors but not green as a primary road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ethical thing the NBA should do is return the Sonics to Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
