City
Coming in last place is the Jazz’s City jersey. NBA teams debuted their City jerseys much later on into the season, which is why it’s in last place. The Jazz wore these beautiful, money-making jerseys nine times during the regular season. They also wore them twice in the playoffs.
In addition, when the Jazz wore these jerseys, they changed their court design. This was another creative move by the Jazz and helped the City jerseys become a huge success. The two most memorable moments in these jerseys, in my opinion, were Game 3 of the first round against OKC and Jae Crowder‘s debut. Ricky Rubio dropped a triple-double in a Game 3 win, and Crowder helped the Jazz knock off the Portland Trail Blazers in his debut with the team.
Jerseys are simply what the players wear on the court, but they’re obviously huge sellers and it’s important that the Jazz put out four successful Nike uniforms. Can you imagine a gold out in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, rather than Game 6 of the first round? It would be unbelievable, especially in Utah with their rowdy and passionate fans.
Here’s to hoping the Jazz can get there next year.
