Might as well just have them play in piano key neckties.

The can’t rebrand for a few years. 5 years is the minimum I believe. There may be a loop hole to get it to two years, but they can’t switch it after the season.The jazz know they suck too lol apparently they wanted to cancel but nike said nah. not sure if I’m interpreting correctly but maybe the black and white will only be used next season and after that it will be another rebrand with a new purple jersey

Apparently = not true. These don't happen without them giving the green light. The players might not like it, but the ok came from the owners.
I read the same article and they wanted to rebrand to black and white. They threw in the volt as a compromise. The colors were their idea. They worked with designers to come up with a uniform which they approved; something of which was pointed out in this thread already with the Lakers gold. They did not anticipate the backlash being what it was.Nah it’s true. This was after the initial leak. The owners wanted to change it due to backlash but couldn’t. Just like how lebron wanted to change his number but had to wait. Even before that, the owners wanted just black and white but nike said nah because the spurs and nets already have that so you have to add a third color. So they added highlighter yellow lmao. This is all from this article
Andy Larsen: The Utah Jazz’s new jerseys are awful — and clearly, the team knows that
The new Utah Jazz jerseys are receiving criticism from the NBA community — and fairly so, Andy Larsen writes. How did we get here?www.sltrib.com
“Purple wasn’t the plan for the franchise’s rebrand, but became the plan after initial public reaction to the black/white/yellow scheme was exceptionally critical. But because they locked in that latter scheme with Nike, the purple jerseys are either the “City” jerseys or the “Classic” set, expected to change every year. That’s why the video also revealed two new other purple jerseys, to be worn in the 2023-24 season.”
“When the team announced the new look on Friday, the focus was on none of these colors, but purple.”
“We’ll see if the Jazz can convince Nike and the league to move on from the white, yellow, and black Association, Icon, and Statement jerseys more quickly than teams are usually allowed to.”
you don’t convince Nike to move on if you’re “ok” with it lol. All signs point to them knowing they ****** up

This does not compare to Lebron changing his number. That's simply an issue of too many 23 jerseys being manufactured. Nike would have to eat the loss. It's why the NFL made players who wanted to change their numbers, buy all of the jerseys on the market.
To add to that imagine rebranding your franchise and then asking the apparel manufacturer if they can nix the rebrand after theyre ostensibly well into the production of millions of dollars in new merchandise. Really arrogant in the day and age of social media to assume their fanbase would ok with such a radical departure from their traditional lookI read the same article and they wanted to rebrand to black and white.

Lol what. Where you getting this infoNike wouldn’t have had to eat the loss on those extra Lebron jerseys. In those matters, the player has to buy out the remaining stock to make that switch if the change wasn’t put in in time

Those have to be the worst and most plain jerseys ever
Whenever teams rebrand they should just modernize their old jerseys (if they exist). Almost all the throwbacks from the 90's are fire, I can't think of a single jersey that sucks and with new materials and more modern tooling, they would all look great.
Even if the Jazz calls the purple uniforms the "city edition", I don't think Nike will produce and sell authentics... considering how the rebranding ended, they'll most likely use old blanks for the players, don't you think ?
By the way, they're actually using pictures of old authentics (not Dri Fit ADV ones) for the swingman items on their shop...
