Fanzz is the official merchandiser for the Utah Jazz. Rudy Gobert jerseys are currently only available in the main store in EnergySolutions Arena
You’ve been asking for them all season long. The wait is over, Utah Jazz fans. You can now get your official Rudy Gobert jersey exclusively at the EnergySolutions Arena Fanzz store today.
Moments after Enes Kanter and Steve Novak were shipped off to the Oklahoma City Thunder the tweet exploded onto timelines featuring the new Rudy Gobert jerseys. Was it coincidence that the Jazz’s newest starting center was featured immediately afterward? I asked ESA Fanzz stores manager, Morgan Evans.
Evans moved to Salt Lake City from Los Angeles last year and began working for the Miller Group at the City Creek Fanzz store part-time before being promoted to manage all seven Fanzz stores in EnergySolutions Arena, the basketball floor the Utah Jazz call home.
Morgan and Fanzz staff have been working on connecting even better than they already do with fans and customers by starting a localized Twitter account that Jazz fans can reach them at: @fanzzESA on Twitter. You can also find and Like them on a new Facebook page, as an alternate way to stay in touch and find out about great deals and new merchandise.

Many fans don’t realize that the main Fanzz store in ESA is open during the week, and not just during Jazz games. You can stop in to shop for officially licensed Utah Jazz and NBA gear from Monday-Friday, 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
While Adidas, the official supplier of jerseys for the NBA, hasn’t yet shipped Rudy Gobert jerseys, Fanzz has the capability to make their own custom jerseys right in the ESA. As of about noon today they had 15-20 in stock at the main Fanzz store in ESA and were keeping the presses rolling in anticipation of demand.
"I would venture a guess that we’ll be seeing more and more of these being worn at games and around Salt Lake City as time goes on.–Ryan Aston, The J Notes"
Evans tells me Fanzz is currently running a store-wide special for “buy one, get one half off,” which includes the $110 Rudy Gobert jerseys, so you may want to move fast if you want to wear one to the game against the Portland Trail Blazers in Utah tonight.

But never fear, if they’re sold out when you get there; you can place an order before the game and most likely receive your Rudy Gobert jersey before the final buzzer even sounds.
Utah Jazz fans often hold halftime “tweetups,” like-minded fans from Twitter meeting up in person to chat, in front of the main Fanzz store in ESA, located at concourse D on the main floor. Morgan encourages Jazz fans to say hi to him when they attend games or tweetups.
Rudy Gobert jerseys are currently available only at the main Fanzz store in EnergySolutions Arena, but they expect large orders from Adidas to be coming in soon to stock up all the Salt Lake City area Fanzz stores.
You can also order online anytime and have your Jazz merch shipped right to your door.
