"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Donuthole]

On its own, the Jazz note is one of the cleanest marks in the NBA. It works so well on its own. I love that they've embraced it.

They embraced it so much they left it off 3/4 of the jerseys. That’s my biggest gripe. Gripe #2: that particular highlighter yellow is ugly. Gripe #3: Should have gone Yellow/Navy-not black. The Pittsburgh vibes are super gross.

Excellent then, because it's actually on 3 out of 4 of the uniforms

The yellow color is the biggest question mark for me. If it's a bold yellow, this is a win. If it's a neon yellow I like it much less. Personally, I probably would've gone with black / white instead of black / yellow on the black jersey, but the yellow does pop off the black.

Sorry, a little note on the leg does not constitute “embracing.” But you knew that.

I love simple looks. These are simple, but still hideous. the massive number is too much. The highlighter marker yellow is brutal. The whites are the best of the bunch.

The purple mountain jerseys are fun from a nostalgia aspect, but too many reminders of the cartoon NBA jersey era. Sooooooo bad.

I heard somewhere that they were going for a straight white and black scheme, but somebody (the NBA?) wouldn't sign off on it without an accent color, so they went w yellow. And then added the purple jersey as their official throwback.

I wonder if yellow has anything to do with us being the beehive state. If so, it's a little embarrassing.

Lol. Imagine self-loathing to the point that you say stuff like this.

Yellow/gold was part of the original colors for the New Orleans Jazz. So it’s not the fact that they included yellow that’s annoying, it’s the particular shade (highlighter yellow) that misses the mark. Also, I don’t know what’s embarrassing about being the beehive state. It’s not like its the nutmeg state or the show me state.

If you look at the old Stock & Malone era jerseys, purple is most prominent, followed by yellow from the Mardi Gras scheme.

I do hope / agree that the yellow would be best if it's closer to the gold / yellow from these older jerseys and less neon / Oregon yellow. But I'm also willing to be a bit patient. The yellow seems more gold on the black jersey.



One thing I'm interested in. This post was back from February...

1) Glad that the monstrosity of the Navy slanted JAZZ logo didn't happen. Just horrible.
2) I need more details around the purple and the UTAH state basketball mark. That has extreme potential.
3) The other two jerseys (white and yellow) appear to be as is.

Phew! Non-sequitur can sleep tonight!!

“The yellow jersey represents the spotlight designated to the greatest performers in history, a nod to the fact that Utah embraces being in the spotlight with all eyes watching."

Welp. Nothing seems to be happening for the Jazz. They gonna try and run it back. This season is gonna be a disaster, I fear

a disaster and/or a complete snoozefest and another first round exit. i guess they still have time to make some moves, but i won't be holding my breath.

[Sizzle]

Not making a move is definitely better than making the wrong move.

That's about the only positive thing I can say about yesterday though.

I mean, brand new coach. That's a fairly big change.

Yeah Quinn probably put a cramp in draft time, since they haven't settled on a coach and don't know what his philosophy is going to be going forward. I mean... we have great players but Q didn't see a way forward based on his style. I wouldn't be surprised if this group, which admittedly has only been together since the All Star break, gels and starts playing better. OR they could collapse with a new coach that's not Quinn and be mediocre.
