I think if anything it'll be a clue for the new City Jersey. I would be surprised if the Jazz walked away from the sunset jerseys with the new look.

You'd be surprised ... https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=53263109&itype=CMSID

Yeah. I am pretty confident we're getting a sneak peek of something with that ASG logo ...

I would be "okay" with that. The alternate white jersey does fix the problem the NBA had in Oakland in 2000. But, honestly, I prefer a uniform ASG jersey in the NBA. I like when they are just a little over the top. Just put effort into it, tie them into the host city or team and/or go back to color vs. color with a blue vs. red matchup.

This ... works. It totally goes with the whole "remix" 75th anniversary theme. I love the subtle ASG tributes to Cleveland. It's a good look for an ASG. Too bad the jerseys are sh**.

Isn't that much every professional sport in a nutshell?

Considering all of the 2021-22 jerseys have been unveiled or leaked and the recent leak of the 2022-23 Suns' jerseys this might be a good time to start this thread. First off, here are the Suns leaks ... Here is a fans' mockup from the leak ... A few other rumors or news ... The regular City Jerseys will return. It'll be interesting to see if any teams keep their 75th anniversary City Editions next season. The Pacers, Grizzlies, Pistons, Blazers, Bulls, Celtics, Spurs, Kings, Thunder, Wizards, Timberwolves, Hornets, Warriors and Knicks could definitely pull it off considering the look and colors aren't far off their current full-time looks. Speaking of City Jerseys and the Suns, last year the Suns were testing fan interest in an Aztec-themed City Jersey for the 2022-23 season. It got some pushback so I am not sure if it is a go? The Jazz are switching from navy, green and gold to black, volt/yellow/gold (whatever you want to call it) and white. They'll keep the Jazz note within the identity, but it seems like new logo sets and not just a recoloring is happening. There have been some rumors of the Cavs rebranding. Not sure of the details, but I think I heard they're eliminating blue from the logo? Though you wouldn't really know it's there in the first place with the current look. It'll be interesting to see if the Earned Edition comes back. It seems like it's been an every other year "thing" since Nike introduced them. And, of course, there's the NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City and whatever sh** jerseys Nike comes up with for the game.

Well, it's an ASG there isn't much officiating to be had. But, honestly the NBA is the only Top 4 sport that can go numberless on one part of the jersey for a game like this because players' mugs are the most marketable due to the nature of the sport. Doesn't make sh** jerseys like these excusable, but I get it.

GO BROOKLYN KNICKS!

I don’t remember the Knicks playing on this court before?

There are some good hardcore fans. Everyone in the community knows who they are.

We'd need a new arena. The Maverik Center is too small and Vivint just isn't a good arena. But, with the city bidding on the 2030/2034 Winter Olympics ... who knows? I'd love to see SLC get a club. Bring back the Golden Eagles.

You just KNOW that they're going to screw this up. The NHL will bypass Quebec and Houston interests to sell them to a group wanting a NHL team in Biloxi, Mississippi because ... SUN BELT!

As hideous as that jersey would be that you described I agree.

Here are some of my thoughts ... 1) I would have much rather had a 100% throwback or reverse retro-esque batch of jerseys. Most of these "mixtape" jerseys are extremely forced and trying too hard to be unique (looking at you Miami with your ransom note and yellow trim). 2) There are some jerseys that I kind of like and IMO could work as an alt (with a tweak or two of course) .. Detroit - I'm more so intrigued with the use of teal on the blue and red. It kind of works. Boston - Nothing offensive about it and I like the name plates on the back. I could see the Celtics keeping a throwback-ish alt. in this style around for a while. Toronto - I am not crazy about the Drake colors, but I love the nod to the Barney jerseys and '19 championship. Minnesota - The two tone colorway kind of ruins it for me, but eliminate that and it would be a Top 10 jersey for me. New York - Get rid of the Nike NYC and MSG logos and I think it works as an alt. Maybe add some blue into there, but I love the simplicity of it. 3) The jerseys that just don't work IMO are ... Atlanta - I hate the two number font look, which don't match with the text fonts at all. No cohesion at all. Houston - I think I would be okay with this if the number was in a different font. I get what it's representing, but it's so jarring ordinary that it kills the jersey for me. Dallas - The Dallas text is too mushed together and small that it really looks like an after thought (which it very well could have been) on that jersey cut and design. San Antonio - The fiesta colorway feels and is waaaay too forced. I feel like it would been better executed on a black jersey as well. Sacramento - The Sactown script, especially that "S" looks really amateur. I also wish the names were under the number on the back. And, where's the baby blue? Charlotte - The hive to pinstripe is supposed to be cool, right? It's just waaaay over designed. And, why isn't there a Bobcats nod? Or am I missing something? Oklahoma City - The design isn't THAT bad. The lack of color would be excusable IF they didn't have that huge ass Love's ad taking front and center! Brooklyn - Maybe I am used to the black and white Brooklyn Nets now, but the R,W,B look feels odd to me. Maybe if the blue was baby blue or royal blue? It just feels dull. 4) As forced as the Miami jersey feels to me, I think it works within the program. It's crazy and out there enough that the mismatched numbers and fonts work. But, just for this year. We don't need to see this return in any shape or form. 5) I am bummed that the Jazz, Pelicans and Suns didn't participate. I think the Pelicans could have done something that nodded to the Jazz and Hornets. I would love to see if there was a Jazz prototype out there. A Jazz note jersey in the '90s colors would have been interesting. 6) I wonder if we're going to see a mashup design of past ASG jerseys? I have a feeling we might. Could be interesting if they decide to mashup past Cleveland ASG designs or ASG designs in general.

I am too. I would have been more than okay if they regulated their City for their Statement Jerseys this year. If anything I think both are better.

I see the point you're trying to make, but I feel like it's still closer to the SD Clippers font than the 76ers. Needless to say, the NBA has never had a good track record with producing accurate throwback jerseys. They either have the wrong font, wrong sized font or placement on the jersey. Some examples ... SIDE NOTE: I betcha the number system on the current Clippers Remix jersey are coming from the saved files of the 2003 throwbacks seen above.

I'm VERY reluctant of the rebranding, but knowing the Note Logo is staying helps it sit better with me. I think it helps knowing Ryan Smith grew up a Jazz fan. But, I can't knock it until I see it.

I agree with most of what you're saying @monkeypower ... and honestly, as a lifelong Jazz fan, I think it's more important to keep the "note logo" than what are the team colors. The note is what connects the past, present and future and that should remain.

It's not suppose to be a straight throwback jersey. It's a "remix" of different design elements from the team's past.

I honestly think it's just a "vintage" thing or the anniversary season.

I think once all is said and done with the unveiling of the "mixtape" jerseys, we'll all have wished teams went with straight forward throwback jerseys like they did 25 years ago.

I feel like with the "mixtape" jerseys this year we won't be seeing that this year. Everything I've seen so far kinda sucks.
