Georgia Tech owns the trademark on Buzz. Something us Utahns learned back in the '90s when GT sued the MiLB Salt Lake Buzz which eventually led to the return of the Bees nickname by way of the Stingers.

Ryan Smith does own the team (or maybe just half of it with LHM?), but honestly as a Jazz fan I don't know how against I am of a name change anymore? There are plenty of local names and ideas you could draw from (without proposing the stupid Grizzlies/Pelicans/Jazz name swap trade). Bees Saints Stars Pioneers Gulls Golden Eagles Wildcats Sting/Stingers It's just the Jazz have always been the Jazz, they have a deep history in this state. But, Utah Jazz history is full of eras -- AD/Griffith, Stockton/Malone, D-Will/Boozer, Mitchell/Gobert, etc. Would a new era with a new name be a BAD thing?
-
I’m fine with the color scheme (I mean look at my profile avatar), but I think things would have been better with fans if the jerseys highlighted the J-note more or full Jazz logo on it. I would buy a J-Note jersey in highlighter yellow and black. I don’t know how much the addition of the purple jerseys were because of the demand for them, or just we screwed up with the design?
-
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Let's not encourage them to add any more colors. But, with that said I could totally see the Jazz add a lighter almost neon-ish purple to the yellow, black and white mix.

This rebrand EXUDES excitement ...
-
So the Jazz unveiled the 97 throwback and a remix and the original NOLA purple throwback for next season. Huh. Interesting. The black, yellow and white is an after thought as expected.

The whole campaign is Purple is Back >>> https://www.nba.com/jazz/purpleisback

Apparently the reveal will be online at 11am local time (MT).

I miss the flaming horse. That was a serious misstep when they went away from it.

The thread is simple -- what championship teams wore the WRONG jersey, sweater, uniform, etc. I don't want to limit this to just championship winning teams, so maybe the finalists of that league's championship round (ie-Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Final, etc.). Here are a few examples to get the ball rolling ... Washington Capitals, 1998 Stanley Cup Finalist Cleveland Cavaliers, 2016 NBA Champions Edmonton Oilers, 2006 Stanley Cup Finalist

It’s a shame Sterling tarnished that look. It’s not bad per se … it’s just very very straightforward. I wish they didn’t jump into their current look so fast.
-
The thing is ... it does have a connection with the state being the Beehive State and all. However, the TEAM should lean into its' history with purple and J-note. Stop flirting with full-time Utah looks. We're the Jazz.

It’s a brownish red orange

Logically that makes sense, but the fact that SLC is 200-250 miles from anything remotely red rock is the problem. If they did the current logos, jerseys and courts in black, yellow and white with the current alts. I'd be fine with that. The leaked jerseys are just too plain.
-
My bet on the redesign and new colors was to tie the red rock colors better into the overall branding theme. Yellow and black are bees colors which is the state nickname and the colors are also a hot color on the slopes which ties northern and southern Utah together better. What does it say about JAZZ? Not much. And there lays the dilemma trying to mesh Jazz and Utah together in branding. All the more reason they should have just gone with the Utah Saints when they moved here in ‘79.

Meh. The mashup is underwhelming. However the Utah Basketball logo in Jazz colors is

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.

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.

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! -
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?
