The Jerseys

Full disclosure, I HATED the City Edition jerseys when the first leaks came out. Like many other fans, the design reminded me of a urine test. If I recall correctly, Nike claimed the jerseys were one of the most innovative designs they had ever worked on.

Innovative? Sure. Cool? I don’t think so.

That was until I actually saw them on the team. The Southern Utah inspired jerseys and complementary court design (complete with a silhouette of Delicate Arch) looked fantastic. Jazz fans seemed to agree as stores couldn’t restock the new-look uniforms fast enough.

Another addition to the jerseys this year was the jersey patch. Huge shout-out to Qualtrics for sponsoring the 5 For the Fight patch on Utah’s uniforms this season. For a team that did so much good on the court, it was only fitting that its jersey patch symbolized doing good off of it as well.

Throw in Utah’s above-average gold Statement jerseys, and it was a good year to rock Jazz gear.
