Utah Jazz rebrand: Purple returns in a big way.

ChristVic

After the failed Utah Jazz rebrand in 2022 went up in bright yellow flames, the organization swiftly decided to pivot once more, unveiling a new rebrand today. This time, the responses appear to be much more favorable. Ryan Smith and the Jazz recognized the fans’ affinity for purple as the team’s main color. Hence, they hurried the release of throwback purple mountain uniforms alongside the black, white, and yellow rebrand two years ago. They also introduced a purple jersey featuring mountains for last season’s city edition uniform. Despite their efforts,…

There’s an entire offseason to get to, and opinions will change depending on what the Jazz do, but this was an interesting snapshot of what Utah Jazz fans think of the team right now. According to the majority of Jazz fans, the team will be in the 30-40 win range. It’s a pretty depressing thought. Like the last two seasons, the Jazz might end up right around the 10-pick in the draft again. Not much better this season, but also not much worse. We’ve heard rumors of some players being…

Just In: “A player from each of the Utah Jazz’s Northwest Division competitors that they could benefit from having.”

The Utah Jazz require defensive assistance urgently. They ranked last in defense last season and struggled with some of the league’s weakest defenders. While they had reliable defenders in Walker Kessler and Kris Dunn, their efforts weren’t sufficient to propel the team towards the playoffs. Additionally, there’s uncertainty regarding Dunn’s future if the team chooses not to re-sign him, which could further weaken their defense. Although Kessler is a solid defender, he alone cannot elevate the team’s defense from the bottom ranking. They need additional support. We’re looking for as…

When Donovan Mitchell was traded from the Utah Jazz, he likely thought he was leaving the team behind for good. This was probably a key appeal of his move to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer of 2022, as it offered him the opportunity to work with new coaches and spread his wings. However, it appears that things might come full circle. Johnnie Bryant, a former Utah Jazz assistant coach now with the New York Knicks, is a leading candidate to replace the Cleveland Cavaliers’ former coach, J.B. Bickerstaff. Bryant,…
