Seems pretty unnecessary, but that's just a reflection of the rebrand as a whole Exactly, and it would look much better with black stripes on yellow and yellow on black and white. It might be a similar kind of "chrome" thing they put on the court, but comes across only as a gimmick that doesn't do much visually on the unis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's not so much silver as it is sublimated on the white/black jerseys. It's as close to the base uniform color as they can get. For the yellow uniform, the stripes are either white or the same slight silver as the white uniform. It looks like they want to evoke the previous design while going opting for a minimalist look at a distance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty unnecessary, but that's just a reflection of the rebrand as a whole I’m going to guess that the silver-ish grey, or chrome, as it’s presented on the new court was the original plan for a tertiary color. Black, white, and chrome. When the NBA stipulated another color is necessary to distinguish from Brooklyn & San Antonio, the yellow was added where required, but the chrome stuck around in a lesser role. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, copper is needed for Utah. I’ve seen someone wearing a replica of that and can confirm that it’s wonderful. I think photographs convey that pretty well, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 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. 4 1 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always though the Spurs silver jersey was underrated. Now, some of you might wish this jersey says “Spurs” but I thing the spur works in a similar capacity to Utah’s J-note. The striping is beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just says JAZZ across the front in straight-across single-layer black in not-quite-standard athletic block. It's like something from a sketch comedy show where the other team's jersey just says "TEAM" on it. 7 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm still confused. I've read some places that the purple mountain jersey is going to be a primary, but other places say it's an alt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Salt Lake Tribune’s beat writers spoke on a local show recently about how he was hearing the Jazz were trying to get permission to wear the purple throwbacks in as many games as possible, and wear the yellow jerseys specifically in as few games as possible. If (big IF) that’s true, the throwbacks may not be “THE primary” per se but it’s certainly going to be treated much more than an alternate. It would check out too with how much the Jazz are pushing purple over everything else. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the question of why even make the yellow a thing if you know people will hate it? Seriously, it's not like too many people were desiring the Jazz to massively overhaul their look anyways, the least they could have done is make the new brand feel like a natural evolution instead of being the most nothing brand possible.

DCarp1231 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Worst case scenario is the Jazz winning a title with these before they can get rid of them and opting not to trash them because “good luck” or whatever horrendous superstitious excuse they’d use 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
