Delux247 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I like the stuff delux posted. I would darken the green a bit though, and maybe make the gold similar to the gold they used in the late malone/stockton/losingtojordan era. IT seems like Deron Williams belongs on these boards, he kinda knew what he was talking about Also, i was vote #1234 on that article Wasn't that more copper than gold? Here is a comparison of the 3 colors (the Jazz's yellow from 79-95, the copper from 96-03, & the gold I used [borrowed from the Cavs' current pallette]): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 How about Utah and New Orleans swap nicknames? Utah is the Beehive State, and New Orleans is known for its jazz music (not to mention the Jazz nickname originated in New Orleans). Force each to come up with a new logo and refrain from wearnig the nickname on the front of the jerseys for two or three years to allow for a smooth transition (each would wear its city/state name on homes and roads during this time).I know -- it would only make too much sense.

Hornets should go back to Charlotte, then Bobcats to Utah ... and while we're at it the Lakers should give back the name to Minnesota. That seems to set the Sports World at ease.

Well, look who just opened up Pandora's Box.Awesome. Since we're opening Pandora's Box... Instead of using all these colors, the Jazz need to switch to just black and white. Everyone knows that music notes on pages of music are black. Multicolored music notes! What's next? Honolulu blue lions?!That said, I'm willing to bet there's more jazz music in Utah than lions in Detroit and Bengal tigers in Cincinnati.Edit: While I'm on the CCSLC forum cliches, maybe Utah could just change their name to the New Orleans Jazz of Utah. Okay, I think I've hit them all now, haven't I? Nickname-location discrepancies, nickname swaps, nickname-color discrepancies, and obligatory LA Angels of Anaheim reference.

Let's put this "Utah's name shouldn't be the Jazz" thing to rest, once and for all, at least in this thread.Anyways, I wonder if we have to wait a year to see them, as the case is, a team needs 2 years advance notice to the league to merit a change. I say, make "Utah blue" (navy) the main color with green/gold trim, and a green alternate; I wonder if this Utah blue is the same as the state flag. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Utah is changing its colors, jerseys, and logos again? Weird. I wonder why the are having such a tough time getting a "Jazz" identity to stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojohnny56 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 There would have been no problem with their identity if they just stuck with the original and that is why it makes perfect sense to go back to it. Kind of funny hearing about an identity from a Oregon Fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Utah Jazz (worst name in sports but we'll leave that can of worms shut). I like the look of the logo and the blue, purple, light blue colors. Seems very Utah to me, snow, mountains, etc. Keep the logo and make the uniforms look more unique.Old Jazz logo is the worst possible idea since it emphasizes the horrible name and misconnection with Jazz music. If they are determined to keep the Jazz name, they can at least keep their logo looking more Utah and less Bourbon Street.

Dedalvs Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The Hornets most defenitely belong in Charlotte if you're gonna make the silly argument...The Utah Bobcats--no wait: The Salt Lake City Bobcats! I like it.Seriously, though: The Jazz's old logo sucks, no matter how much lipstick you put on it. I'll be very disappointed if they retire their current logo, both of whose incarnations I thought were fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedalvs Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Top Three, Really???? The Jazz current is horrible.I thought the redesigned Jazz logo (the original when they went to the Finals those two years) was awesome, albeit busy. Their redesign simplified the busy-ness. Much like hawk36 said, though, the current logo is evocative of Utah--almost in spite of their team name. The name has a lot of caché now, so they can't change it, of course (though the Utah Mountaineers would be hilarious), so what they did was they took the logo and made it their own in colors and style. It looks good. The old logo's note didn't even look much like a music note and was completely lacking in style (compare it to the St. Louis Blues' logo which is fantastic). Like the Sixers, there was a reason they changed their logo the first time, and we're going to see that next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The current logo is nice, but the uniforms are bland. The Jazz do need to fix something. If they can't match the uniforms with the current logo then starting again with the note isn't such a bad idea. Also the current/old 76ers logo, while not great, is still a step up from that gold and black mess.
