  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. It's not suppose to be a straight throwback jersey. It's a "remix" of different design elements from the team's past.
  6. I honestly think it's just a "vintage" thing or the anniversary season.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I think that's why I'm ... okay? ... with it. And, I am in the same boat. I'd have to dig for a reference (which I really feel like doing right now), but from my understanding LHM was content on keeping the purple Jazz note logo, but was kiiiiiinda forced by the league. But, the revenue from a new look was the carrot the league dangled in front of LHM, which for a small market team makes a difference. The same thing happened in 2004 when the team went to navy and baby blue. It was all $$$ and Reebok drive from my understanding. But, that's why you saw the team go back to the note logo shortly before his death and then a return to a more classic color (albeit navy swapped for purple). The team HAS to at least keep the note logo, but I ... think? ... I am okay if the colors change.
  10. JAZZ FANS: FINALLY THE CONVERSATION IS OFF US!
  11. The only expansion I see happening would be poaching UTEP, UTSA and North Texas from CUSA and maybe Tulsa or SMU from the AAC? Where else could they go?
  12. Yeah, I am curious about this too. Will it be just the "Note Logo" or the full "Utah Jazz Logo"? I kind of picture the new logo as something based off the current Utah sunset logo in a roundel (naturally) and the "note logo" as a random secondary logo.
  13. Well and on top of that being in a different city with a different name doesn't help either. But, it would be nice to see the Sixers sport a Nats jersey again.
  14. Granted they kept the navy blue, but they returned to the note logo even before the Canucks and Padres returned to their classic colors.
  15. The NBA has an interesting relationship with the color black. I think it's a great color and one that goes well with mostly any color either as a trim or base color. And, the league tends to lean heavy on wearing the color ... to the point that in the early to mid-2000s the color was banned as a base color for new identities and/or second jerseys. We wouldn't have these jerseys without that policy ... I say embrace the color. It looks good.
  16. I never got this trade proposal. Utah is the Beehive State, based off the honeybee. Hornets aren't bees, they're jerks. I feel like you won't see the Red Rocks Jersey go anywhere. Maybe to a Statement Jersey rather than City, but it fits better within a black, white and yellow set than the current look. I can't be the ONLY Jazz fan who hates the '90s colors? The purple, teal, copper, etc. is just dated. I feel like if I'm sporting those colors I need to own a horse, wear a 10 gallon hat and brag way too much about my belt buckle collection.
  17. Maybe we're switching yellows with the Lakers? At least Lakers fans can only hope.
  18. Honestly, the color change sounds more like the Jazz wanting to keep capitalizing on the sunset/dark mode jerseys. The only thing missing from the color palette is the red and orange. I betcha the Jazz will keep the sunset/dark mode jerseys around in the next set as their Statement jersey so they can experiment more with a City jersey.
  19. I ... I ... don't hate the idea? I just feels like someone took the original purple and decided to play with the shadow and saturation levels until they got to black.
  20. Yeah, but after the 13th time in two days it gets a LITTTTTTTTLE annoying for the rest of us.
  21. That was almost the same experience I had with the Rose Bowl. I got lost driving into LA and took an exit too early, drove through some neighborhoods looking for a good way to turn around and has up and then all of the sudden … BAM … Rose Bowl. Never expected it.
  22. It's just the NBA 75 "diamondization" of the logo.
  23. They played on it against the Jazz a couple nights ago, I'm sure it will since the Mixtape jerseys lean heavy toward that design.
