I like the design as well, and wouldn’t mind it being used on the entire regular set.  The only thing I’d try to do is to work in some navy, indigo, or purple.  I'm torn because I like that look being in the league and want the Jazz to stick more to their Purple scheme. If only there were some team that could theoretically make kelly green and gold their primary color scheme.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my "working in some purple/navy/indigo" comment for when you-know-who gets a team and the purple/navy/indigo differentiates Utah from them. I feel that the 2011-2016 and 2017 green alternates gave a couple decent ideas on how to add some of that shade to green/gold/white: Â Â Â Also, whether navy, purple, or indigo, it was refreshing to see Utah in what should be their "normal" road jerseys against Boston's white and green getup (even though IIRC it's their City jersey, based on their banners, which I honestly don't mind as an alternate): Â AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 That brief "UTAH" green jersey, between the more retro set and the big note logo set, is the perfect green alternate for the Jazz for me. The darker green and the navyish indigo make it work really nicely. The new one might have more historical cred in its color scheme, but it's not working for me otherwise.

FinsUp1214 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 See, for me I just have a really hard time with the navy and forest green together. They contrast poorly and look too dark when paired with one another. Sure it helps the gold and white pop, but at what cost? You lose one or the other colors to contrast issues depending on which one’s the base, and it makes the other color look and seem really pointless. It’s never worked for me and I don’t think it ought to be forced any more than it already has.  The Jazz really need to be using kelly as thier green instead, and I was thrilled that at least the new earned edition ran with it. Given the general mess thier identity is, I’ll take what I can get from them at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they all suck, you can’t even tell there is navy in the top 2 pics because it’s so close to the green, and Vice versa for the bottom pic.

I've been on the "money grab" opinion for years but you may be onto something. It's gotten worse every year. Some teams that didn't really have an identity yet, really got cheated.

O.C.D Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I assume the players are making these uniform match-up decisions and ultimately trying to make a statement by going against historical tradition. That's the only thing that makes sense to me because whoever is making these decisions has little to no concern for color ascetics or tradition. I get major "change for the sake of change" vibes from these match-ups the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe the players don't have input on uniform design and match-ups? Â *EDIT after a quick search online I found this https://basketballnoise.com/how-do-nba-teams-decide-what-jersey-to-wear/ Â It says the players and coaches don't have input on a nightly basis on what they can wear. If the players have zero input on design or pre-season scheduling match-ups then I would be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Didn't it come out a year or so ago that Nike determines the uniform matchups? If so, the amount of times we see the awful City/Earned jerseys would make sense as Nike tries to peddle their stuff. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have OCD and it still drives me crazy. It's only slightly better than the random floating boxes on the Magic's Statement jersey or the Titans pit stains.
