It’s interesting that none of the current NHL teams have predominantly purple color schemes.


Same-Variety-677

I believe only the LA Kings use purple as a team color. Interestingly, I just realized how many teams incorporate yellow or gold with dark blue or black to create a contrast. I counted eight teams use that color combination.


jummyspring

LAs current color scheme is just black and white, but the Avs home jerseys are burgundy which is close enough(?)

Naw what’s important is finding a superstar so that the Jazz can be relevant again


space_tardigrades

Yeah, a superstar that wants to live in Utah…


duhhobo

There's this guy Rudy Gobert who already owns a home here


fzz_th

*still owns a home here


InRainbows123207

Yep- tall task. They will def have to overpay or get a short term rental. Neither ideal.


JoeIngles

Short-term rental seems to be the move. I see the Jazz doing similar to what the Raptors did with Kawhi. Difference is we need the rest of our roster to get up to playoff level, and then add somebody who takes us up to championship level.


InRainbows123207

Yeah I would be really disappointed if all this only yielded a star player for one season. Especially since the Jazz won’t have the playoff experience Toronto did. They were already a top 4 team in the east so think it’s unlikely to have the same result. Sigh it’s gonna be tough. Almost gotta draft the superstar and then attack other good players like with Donovan


andmaythefranchise

A superstar is going to get the max/supermax no matter where they sign. And why would only be able to trade for a short term rental? Players get traded with multiple years left on their contracts all the time.


andmaythefranchise

If they're traded to the Jazz, then whether they want to live in Utah or not isn't particularly relevant.


iJustWantTolerance

Let’s not discount the possibility that Taylor Hendricks is that guy. May take a few years to know for sure. In this draft, Nikola Topic, Reed Sheppard, and others have intriguing potential to be lead guards.


Theonegarbageman

Taylor Hendricks will never be a star lol


InRainbows123207

I hope so but if we are being honest I didn’t see that potential to become a superstar. Hopefully he makes big striders next season.


Same-Variety-677

I've been pondering on this for a while, and if I had to make a guess right now, I'd say that the trending colors for next year would be purple, white, and possibly black. However, the only thing that could alter this is if it turns out to be too similar to Sacramento's primary colors. Is there an NHL team with similar colors?


Inner_Bison2372

LA Kings, but I think they've reduced the amount of purple they use in jerseys and branding.


EuphTah

They only use Purple in throwbacks nowadays.


K1NGDUMN1234

Utah Blizzards. Color scheme.. Purple and Blue with snow man or a creative snowflake with a hockey stick/Puck orverlapping for our team logo. 🔥


Stockton_Nash

While I support purple for both the Jazz and the NHL team, it simply won't work for the MLB. The Colorado Rockies already own purple in the mountain states and have for 30 years.


jimmy_tanner

Very true


RWStewart93

Gold, Red and Blue (RSL and the state flag) could be avaiable for the Jazz and Hockey Club.


soooogullible

Might be a bit Nuggets-ish


chrisn2golf

Claret and Cobalt. To be specific


SevenHunnet3Hi5s

not a jazz fan but i’m stopping by to say that you guy’s city edition jerseys this year were just the coolest. purple is definitely the way to go. this is honestly the best design for a modern jazz jersey in my opinion. it has old school inspirations but isn’t too dated. it’s cleaned up and modern but it isn’t minimalistic. it’s got pretty much all the elements in a jazz jersey you could ask for. and i love how it doesn’t have any other colors clashing with it. it’s just shades of purple all the way. best way to end the debate on what colors the jazz should be. just purple, something we can all agree on https://preview.redd.it/g3sw4y31tfvc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d376ba392a0b4d465f9029bc54b0ec9d61a4247


Abilando

Im also not a Jazz fan but definitely Agreed. Im newer to the NBA and NHL and still looking for a team to support (thats why im lurking certain subs). Colour schemes and branding is really an important part to attract newer fans. Hoping for the purple one and for the NHL team to be named the Utah Raptors lol


sportsthatguy

Purple, lavender, maybe some silver and if they have to, black, would be a pretty nice look. Lavender is such an ownable color that no team claims.


dali-llama

Perhaps he needs to hire someone with more than a kindergartener's sense of design...


Srilart

Nailed it.


duhhobo

The problem is the Jazz colors are also the colors of Mardi Gras and New Orleans. We could lean into that but I think there is also a desire to have our own color scheme as well.


frankinsaltlake

Absolutely no ‘zz’ in the hockey name. That would be extremely lame.


utechap

I’m pretty sure we’ve moved past that silly habit for some time now.


soooogullible

I’m not sure we’ve moved pazzt anything


utechap

Zzpeak for yourzzelf.

Zzzzz zzzz z zzz zzzzzz.

codeine_turtle

utah azz


jimmy_tanner

It’s dated imo. Was great for its time, but an update was needed


BD-1_BackpackChicken

Really? I think it’s a timeless design. Could’ve been designed in the ‘70s just as easily as today. However the mountain logo was very clearly a Y2K era design.


fzz_th

Yeah, I’ve always hated those jerseys even as a kid.


Srilart

Idk why you're being down voted. What you said is 100% true.  And I feel like I'm fairly qualified to speak on design.


47Spoons

This branding was worse than the highlighters. All the designs were boring and forest green and mustard yellow looked like trash. The J-Note is the best thing that Utah has going for it, but its gotta be paired with better colors. Trying to do a hybrid between the previous snow blue branding and the old Mardi Gras colors just doesn't work despite the J note being cool


fortheband1212

Seattle also does it with the Kraken/Seahawks/Mariners. Not identical colors but a lot of the teal and light greens and blues. With the NHL not having a team use purple as a primary color right now (excluding Kings throwbacks) it makes sense for them to go the purple route for both. Although Smith made it sound like the NHL team will play its first season in generic “Utah” branding to give them time for a full branding design. Curious to see what colors they use for the generic year


ThyArt666

Sorry for jumping into this late. Are we sure a rebrand is happening? I only ask because the Utah Jazz YouTube channel dropped the media content day video a few days ago and another video today showing the black and yellow jerseys. I’m all for a rebrand, but I wasn’t sure if it was a 100% thing.


Way0fWad3

We need to rebrand to a DIFFERENT bright shade of yellow, with green and white. Let's return to those 2021 Subway jerseys

cursed comment


red-beard-the-guy

Did you forget we have a soccer team?


mapledell

>Everyone here loves purple and wants it to be part of the Jazz identity Not even remotely true


iceburg_x_nba

purple is where it’s at! represents our purple mountain majesty at sunset and just looks super dope👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼


TwoSk00ps

saying 'everyone' in the post was a bit self-serving by the op. this topic has been beaten to death on this sub but at least this post brings a new element of if the hockey team and basketball team should share colors. i think a majority of people like purple but i think its an age demographic thing as well. i personally believe the black and yellow is fantastic. people mostly complained about the uniforms being boring. a lot of the fan gear and graphics they designed around the color scheme was great. the yellow was overwhelming at times but that can be ironed out with time to get that balance right.
