Raddest jersey addition to the Jazz kit collection

The Fesenko goes to… Utah’s gold Statement Edition uniforms.

Yeah, I said it! I like the gold ones better…and you should too! #HotTakeAlert

Don’t get me wrong, the Jazz’s gradient City Edition uniforms are awesome in concept. And, really, I kind of dig them. But that big ol’ UTAH splashed across the chest in the most generic font imaginable does nothing for me. Also, the I-15 thing is lost on almost everybody (and I freaking hate I-15).

I’d still like to see a J-Note or something, somewhere on there, as well. The Statement jerseys hit a home run in that department; it’s a bold, new look without abandoning the team’s history completely.

I totally understand wanting to have our own identity and the City jerseys have a cool color scheme to be sure. But you can’t just take the Jazz out of this team. Can’t we have the best of both worlds?
