Labeling the purple uniforms as the “return,” the Jazz also revealed three other jerseys and concept, referring to it as the “remix.”
The new black and yellow look alternating look also features a white jersey. While fans seemed to appreciate the Jazz going to back to the old purple, they didn’t seem to care for the new highlighter rebrand.

If I were a Utah Jazz fan, I’d be in full meltdown over this.
All the dynamic fonts and designs and ideas evoking Utah and Jazz in the team’s history going all the way back to New Orleans and they come up with this? They look like practice jerseys. pic.twitter.com/dpBhi5EAtp

As a nonpartisan neutral party and noted fashionista, my view of the new Utah Jazz jerseys is that there's a fine line between "clean and streamlined" and "boring and simplistic," and that the team has indeed crossed it. Basic colorways. Basic fonts. Just basic. Way too basic.

Not to be dramatic, but if I don’t like the Utah Jazz rebrand then I’m going to dress up like Cap’n Crunch, walk into a Navy recruiting center, and ask for a brochure.
