I like simple. I like the Jazz set and some of this Cavs set, but both could be improved greatly with a few small tweaks. 
 

kinda seems either Nike or the NBA or both are pushing for simplistic designs?? Or the last two rebrand teams were both outliers?

I still think the Jazz should try copper as the primary color. Earth tones are kind of underutilized in sports and a copper-centric look would be both distinctive and appropriate for the market.

 

Replace the green color with purple and these would be wonderful. 

In a interview Ryan Smith (the Jazz owner) talked about being envious of the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls how they are all identified by their color scheme. 
 

Assuming this means the Jazz try to get into that territory in 5 years, what would their color scheme be?

purple, white, light blue?

purple, gold, green?

something else? 
 

personally I would like a purple, white, black, copper, with maybe a little light blue too. 

I’ve been to the Jazz team store twice since it was announced on Friday and I think people are buying merch just fine. 
 

Yeah everyone hates the jerseys but half the merch is black/white or white/black which everyone wears. I bought 3 shirts. A black with yellow, a yellow with black and my daughter wanted a black/white one.

A black, purple, and white set would have strong Sacramento Kings vibes, IMO. 

Thats true. They would have to add some teal/copper probably

If only the whole rebrand was centered around this! 

I REALLY want to see some people's mock ups  based off this jersey. Tweak the colors slightly. Make a white version, a black version and this would be a perfect set.

I'm kinda shocked they brought back the exact same mountain jersey they had 2 seasons ago. And i'm assuming they jumped some hoops to get that in again, due to the backlash of the black/yellow.

As for the black/yellow/white "remix", I like those. But having the same striping from the current set is meh to me. I'd prefer no stripes to just a flashy silver (powder snow).

But overall I like it all. The all-star logo on the black court is a nice touch.

As I’ve asked before: How long does Jazz brass have to wait to rebrand again?

Could be wrong but I thought it was at least 2 years. 

I also remember reading that statement jerseys are supposed to be worn for 3 seasons but not sure if teams are held to that.

New Jazz gear. You can see the new draft hat here too.

To me, this just confirms the Stockton/Malone era throwbacks

I would think these are different. Probably a modern take on those jerseys since they just had the throwbacks 2 seasons ago or whenever it was.

So now I'm confusing. What Jazz gonna unveil tommorow? Rebrand? City? Both?

 

They will unveil it all from what I understand. The black/yellow/white and the purple. They may focus more on the purple because of the backlash to the black/yellow set.

New draft hats. Looks like all teams minus the Jazz. New Era Cavs draft hat

The plot thickens…

 

 

I’m as stoked as anyone about a purple note (and the supposed purple mountain court inside), but between the black/yellow leaks and now purple looking more and more prominent, this is starting to look really disjointed and odd.
 

The only theory I have is this: black/yellow leaks were so unpopular that they felt like they needed to overhype the supposed purple city edition as a peace offering of sorts during the rebrand reveal. The black/yellow stuff is likely going to get blasted, so maybe they figure they can soften the blow this way. 
 

Again, that’s just theory, but I don’t know why else you’d prominently feature a color at the arena that isn’t even a primary color of your new rebrand.

This sounds pretty spot on to me. Nearly everyone hates the black/yellow/white so lets focus on purple that nearly everyone loves.

I'm still excited to see the full black/yellow/white set and get a look at the shorts/stripes.

Well unless this is the city uniform it’s referring to, the only place the peaks would be, given the leaks we have seen, is on the shorts. That’d be a double edged sword, as it’d be a nice homage to Stockton/Malone but Denver’s already beat us back to having peaks on the shorts (even if we had them first). Bad timing to bring them back now, unfortunately.
 

I guess the silver lining here (if this turns out to be true) is that the uniform won’t be as plain as the jerseys would suggest. To be clear though, peaks wouldn’t save this thing. Everything else is still wretched.

Not quite. The white leak has gray/black stripes on the sides. Those could be peaks.

They posted a video with Clarkson getting a sneak peak and all he says is "wow" "that's nuts" "this is crazy" all of which can be taken as bad reactionary statements

Haha yeah not a great reaction. He also said he gives the look a 100/10. But it’s Clarkson sooo

Jazz make an official date. 6.17 for the new look.

Part two!

 

 

woof on that lakers one

You know all these were leaked months ago right? Casey is just mocking up high quality versions.

Thats pretty much where I’m at. My fanship for the Jazz is never going away, but my excitement for and hope in this team has dropped significantly. And it’s a combination of multiple things: chronic and severe underachievement, ownership and management that gets more questionable by the day, the likelihood of next year’s team either underachieving again or being really, really bad if they firesale (not sure which is worse or better, honestly), and a tone-deaf rebrand that’s almost hilariously bad. All of this leaves me feeling almost embarrassed to be a fan right now. 
 

Does that mean I’ll stop being a fan? Nope, never. I’m with the Jazz for life. But what I am stopping is allowing myself to get excited or have high expectations for this franchise until I see a tide turn, when and if that happens. I guess one positive I can glean from the franchise’s mess right now is that I could watch or go to games and just enjoy being there without having any expectations whatsoever, which is a stark contrast from expecting too much and getting let down too often every year.

I completely agree with this sentiment. 
 

Also on the bright side maybe ticket prices will drop back down haha. 

I have seen quite a few “Jazz” fans say they will no longer be a fan when these jerseys come out and I just don’t get that. 
 

Maybe it’s just a compound of a disappointing few seasons, bleak future, and now a bad redesign, but teams go through ups and downs, to have their aesthetic be the straw that broke the camels back seems a bit much. 
 

But to each their own. 

I’m fairly certain the Jazz are keeping their city sunset jersey yet again. 

New photo of the Jazz jersey coming soon. Looks like a gray-ish looking stripe down the side? Probably their powder blue or whatever they call it. 
 

A random twitter account said the new Utah Jazz jerseys will be released on June 17th. 
 

I just hate how the feathered C isn’t the font. They have a font. Then they have another font for the C. Not a fan.

So a random guy just bumps into the owner, and starts talking about the uniforms, and the owner just goes sure here’s my phone you can see them all. I’m very skeptical that’s a real story.

Go to his twitter haha. Seems outlandish but he got pictures with the owner and described in detail everything he said and saw more or less. 
 

Although it sounds like some of it was concepts to me but we will find out. 
 

And I think the jazz realize the black/yellow/white isn’t what people want. Although if the 2 year thing is accurate this would have been in the works before he even took over the team or maybe right when he took over. 
 

It’ll be interesting to see how long it lasts knowing they want to go back to purple already. 

More Jazz rumors. Guy on twitter (@davidkentclark) ran into the Jazz owner and asked about the yellow/black/white. 
 

The owner showed him a ton of pics on his phone. White and yellow jerseys basically confirmed. Said he saw a few iterations of black jerseys but the leak seems to be legit to me. 
 

He saw 2 court designs, 1 diagonal wood, gray/dull color to it with lots of black. 
 

Also said he saw some jerseys they are working on for the future that are purple mountains (but new mountains) and a new purple note jersey. 
 

Oh and the dark mode city jerseys will be back next season. So the full set will be white/yellow/black.
