I get the concern, but I'm kind of the mind that the proverbial ship has already sailed when it comes to NBA branding. The fact that the Jazz last year comfortably vacillated between the primary purple/yellow/green to red-rocks-rainbow to a kelly-green-yellow alt says it all when it comes to the lack of uniformity in NBA uniforms. Sure, I suppose it can get worse. But, and apologies for being a downer, I've now come to expect it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb1322 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The Jazz going black and white just to “simplify the color scheme” is probably one of the worst reasons that could be made for this decision. They can honor one of the most diverse and colorful states by choosing a new color scheme or by looking toward the past. Not even regarding Utah, Jazz is supposed to a type of music that invokes emotion and soul. Not something black and white represents. This just feels like the easy way out. There is no creativity or branding involved here it’s just wiping the slate clean. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The “UTAH JAZZ” wordmark at the practice facility seems to be new, as well - I don’t think I’ve seen that font before. Seems interesting to me that a completely different font would be used prominently at the practice facility now. Paired with that Ryan Smith tweet and D-Wade hinting at some new “fire” or whatever he tweeted a couple months ago, I’d say this *could be* a soft lead in to another rebrand for possibly 2022-23. If so, then I’m not sure how I feel about this. I do really like black and white in a vacuum, but I also struggle to see how it would theoretically improve the Jazz brand in any way, or represent Utah in any fashion. I’m very glad that Ryan Smith is indeed aware that the Jazz’s current brand is an absolute circus, I just don’t think simplifying to black and white is the right answer. It’s just going to add one more scheme and convolute the historical brand further. I’d much rather them settle back on the original colors or mountain scheme, never wear navy or redrock again, and solidify the brand that way. Preferably the mountain scheme to tie stronger to Utah’s geography. Granted, I do like black and white enough that the right branding could possibly sway me, but for now I just don’t think that’s the answer. We’ll also have to see if it actually happens, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The next logical step here is to have the Jazz distribute Crayons and coloring pages featuring black-and-white uniforms and let fans create their own color palates, which Nike will then use as inspiration to make "Fan Edition" alts. You heard it here first. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Ransom note-ing a word mark is one thing (and a bad thing, too), but ransom note-ing jersey numbers? Awful, awful idea. Wouldn’t that pose some legibility problems? I feel like I’d have to double-take all the time to see what number is what in action. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there evidence of Dwyane Wade making ego-driven decisions in his capacity as a minority owner (or in general)? Is there a story here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
