CAVALIER Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I would've just done the basketball note in black.when I see that symbol I believe that it rightly belongs in New Orleans, LA from whence it came.Hardly anyone remembers the New Orleans Jazz because they failed. The Utah Jazz, however, have been a success. Let it go.NEVAH!!!! I am from the south we are still fighting the war of northern agression...lol.....I just remember going to jazz games when thye were here as a kis and growing up watching Malne and Stockton wonderng what the heck happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 He was around 5-6 years old before they moved, so he MAY have seen them during their final season in NO.The Jazz moved in 1979. Not that it really matters, but he would have been 3 when they moved.The purple patch with green and gold trim is in the shape of the Jazz music note logo (a ?J? in the shape of an eighth note) and inscribed with Miller?s initials, ?LHM,? in white block letters. The music note logo is representative of the team?s logo, colors and jerseys which were worn at the time Miller originally purchased a 50% stake in the team on April 11, 1985, and the remaining 50% on June 24, 1986. The Jazz wore the music note jerseys until the 1996-97 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The colours, logos, and history of the New Orleans Jazz belongs to the Utah Jazz. They have every right to call back to their former identity whenever they see fit. You guys have the Hornets now. Let it go.

goforbroke Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think its funny when NOLAers complain the the Jazz stole their colors and ran, but when they got their team back and had a chance to rebrand the hornets with new colors they never did. Granted they tweaked the teal and added gold so it sort've worked itself into Mardi Gras colors, but if they really cared they could have done it right away and changed the team name and everything.As for the patch, I like it only because I like the old Jazz logo --- but I think its more JAZZ and less Larry Miller. you can barly see the innitials.

There are many, MANY, who would change it if they could.However, we don't own the team so that kind of ends the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 15 years the Jazz honored their history and complimented New Orleans by keeping the colors, and for 25+ years they've kept the name.... whereas the Hornets moved to the city and stayed there and yetdidn't rebrand themselves with a city appropriate name and color scheme. In fact, their new uniforms are much closer to their Charlotte unis then anything they've worn since moving the New Orleans. So instead of ripping on the Jazz using a NOLA identity, you guys should be peaved at the Hornets for not doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Shamrock Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I am of the opinion that it would have been nice to see the Jazz name and colors left behind for a future team in New Orleans. Of course, they weren't, and the Jazz have done pretty well for themselves in Utah. It is a nice patch to honor the guy who basically saved the team for Salt Lake City.What I don't get, is the idea that the New Orleans Jazz were a total failure. They were in the city for five seasons, and did pretty much what MOST expansion teams do. They were poor to mediocre in a short time span. Given time, they likely would have succeeded in NOLA. Consider that once in Utah, it took the team another five seasons just to make the playoffs............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Jazz at 35: Team finds a palace but struggles to build a kingdom in Salt Lake CityEra 2: Name gameNobody has ever thought the nickname Jazz ever fit Utah, and the fact that the team did not change it when it moved to Salt Lake City - despite sponsoring a contest to pick a new nickname and team colors - helped fuel speculation that the team did not expect to stay long. Owner Sam Battistone once explained that he wanted to keep the name to one day remind critics in New Orleans that he could find success elsewhere with the same club, but there was another reason, too. The struggling Jazz simply did not have enough money to buy the new uniforms that a name change would have required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Whatever. The Jazz are in Utah now. Sure, it's a little wacky (no more so the the Lakers in LA IMO), but there it is.
