Rebrand?

It's unbelievably stupid. No idea why Ryan/Company hate the Jazz name so much to the point where they are willing to put that kind of garbage concept together.
 
Is there another team in the league that doesnt have there actual team name on any of their jerseys? Seems like a soft-sell to change the team's name in the future.
 
I'm not going to make a big deal of this, but last season the Jazz were using Colin Sexton in virtually every marketing piece, treating him like a face of the franchise.
 
It's kind of wild reading normies reactions that people really like these. I guess the last rebrand was a huge success because it collectively lowered the expectations so much that these seem good to most.

Lol I was just about to make a post saying that the internet seems to love these.

The white ones especially I've seen called maybe the best jersey in the league now.
 
@YoungJefe can you help us out with some mock ups of the black jersey without the mountains and different colors for the note?

Maybe just a white note, a white and purple note, and I'd love to see the blue, yellow, green, blue note that should have never gone away.

Wow, real "Get off my lawn" crowd up in here.

Should change the name of the site to "People bitching about the Jazz.com"

Yeah, of course people should all have their own opinions on what they like but feels a bit too much of a spoiled children vibe.

"I want it my way and only the way I want it" and if it's not exactly and only what way is met with disgust.

There is an in-between where you can like them but not be your favorite and have your own ideas for improvement (which some have).

Also, it just feels flagrant there is no jersey with "Jazz" on it.

There is a KSL article about this very thing, I'll try to find and link it.

But it is intentional and it gave reasons, even if you or I disagree with those reasons, atleast there was a reason given

New KSL link
*Edit Fixed link to correct article *

This is some of what the link says
"Notably, the new jerseys do not feature the word "Jazz," instead the organization chose to go with "Utah" or the J-note logo. That is purposeful.

"Utah is so important to what we're doing," Barnes said. "I think, specifically, now having Utah on the front of our uniforms is important. We're one of the few teams in the NBA that represents an entire state and not a city."

Nothing wrong with calling out something that is mediocre. That's the only way that there is ever any accountability. Unfortunately I don't trust the jazz to get this right because they seem to be obsessed with designing something new rather than going to back to things that were already really good. It is probably an ego thing with Ryan Smith thinking his team can come up with something better. So far they are 0 and 2.

Yeah, it's stupid. Jazz is not a city. The Jazz are the team that has been in Utah for as long as they have been in Utah.

If they want Utah to be on half hte jerseys, fine, but have one with "Jazz".

How dumb is it to go with New York based design company with zero attachment to the jazz? Ryan Smith's ego entered the equation with that hire rather than going with a local designer that could have done better.

It least it’s identifiable and potentially iconic. Just writing ‘Utah’ across the front is something any college could do.

I feel like we already have an iconic logo with the jazz note. For some reason Ryan Smith wants to shy away from it. Same goes for the first city addition jersey which was great. Some people just love tinkering with **** that doesn't need to be messed with.

I didn't even think about the J note that you and others have said on the black ones, but yeah I can see that now.

My first thought was more the color scheme. I thought the black jersey was a perfect opportunity to use the DWill era light Carolina blue, you see it in the white jersey and I think it'd pop on that black jersey if used just a little to highlight.

Especially since SAC uses black and purple.

Completely agree. I’m really digging the baby blue trim and that’s another missed opportunity on the black uni’s.

On a side note, with this new rebrand, I can almost promise you that Ryan will inverse it for the new hockey teams permanent colors. We’ll see baby blue and black as the dominant colors with purple as a highlight/trim color.

Ryan is huge on “creating a brand” and he’s definitely gonna tie in the hockey team so when you think of one, you think of the other. They share ownership and an arena, so it makes sense. I’m just nervous he botches the hockey uni/logo. Thus far, his track record in this area is sketchy at best.
 
Nationwide opinions are extremely positive and loving the rebrand.

Meanwhile on Jazzfanz.com: "RyAn SMiTH weARS A BackWArD hat SO I hATe him!!!"
