What's new

We may lose more games than anyone next season but we're going to look good doing it-New court and jerseys

I will say, while the execution was awful (highlighter yellow) I understand Ryan’s intention. The Jazz have always had a throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach to branding and it hasn’t worked. Jazz purple isn’t Celtic green or Lakers gold or Brooklyn black as far as being a strong signifier.

Maybe it will be eventually.
 
The note was one of the best logo's in all of professional sports. Sad to see it take a back seat.
Living outside of Utah, most people have no idea what the note means. It's kind of nice to be able to wear Jazz gear and not have too many strangers try to start a conversation about what I'm wearing. And those who do actually know the NBA so it's OK.
 
I’m just happy they retired the stupid neon branding. I definitely wish they still had the gradient City versions though. That might’ve been one of best jerseys/court that they’ve ever done.
The dark mode ones or whatever they called them were the absolute best we've had in forever. I wish they would bring these back.

They're fine, though I'll be a contrarian and admit I never really liked the mountain jerseys in the 90s, even though it was the jerseys they had the most success with. I still prefer the original logo jerseys or the revised ones from 2010 until the abomination of the highlighter jerseys came out.

Holy **** did those things absolutely and completely suck. How anyone got paid to design those is beyond me. Such lazy uninspired garbage. As much as I don't care for the mountain jersey's in general, they are 1,000,000x better than the highlighter garbage.
 
I still think the black jersey with the Jazz note on the front is the most iconic uniform we have at the moment. I might suggest making that Jazz note a light silver instead of white though.

I do like the idea of NBA teams adopting the long-standing NFL tradition of having a throwback jersey every year, and I don’t hate the old Nike/Oregon Ducks tradition of having a unique off branded version (like the gradient City versions) that they roll out every couple of years.

That's just it, no one was paid to design them, they came straight from the cover of Ryan's 7th grade pre-algebra notebook. Doodles in black on a yellow spiral bound notebook. Man those will look so cool! And man did they actually look like abominations against God and nature.

The NBA has been doing this for several decades. They've called them hardwood classics or classic edition unis, etc. Do you watch the NBA?

I do, but it doesn’t feel as consistent as the NFL model. Maybe it’s just because there’s so many games I don’t actually pay as close attention to the uniforms as I do with the NFL where it stands out more.

I’m also a much more casual NBA fan. I don’t follow offseason announcements for either sport but I come across NFL news a lot more easily with my feeds.
