Too bad we'll be losing the baby blues. I really liked those uniforms.

Heh. Well, considering it won't really hurt anybody to name the position of my source, I'll let you know who it is.
My step-dad was recently hired by the Jazz & the LHM companies to be the head buyer (don't know his official job title.. basically the main dude that oversees what Fanzz buys and how they sell it to their customers) for Fanzz. I want to say his official job title is President or VP of Fanzz.. can't really remember right now, but the Jazz ship him all over the country to meet with other NBA teams and discuss how they sell their apparel, etc.
Another interesting note (no pun intended): As soon as they showed the players the new logo, Deron went off blabbing about it and told/showed a bunch of people he wasn't supposed to. They've wanted to keep it under wraps for a long time, and Deron quickly threw caution to the wind. Haha.

I was browsing the Pro Sports Daily Jazz forum and came across this guy who claims to know what the jerseys will look like. Not sure how legit his sources are but I figured it was worth sharing. He claims our center court logo will look like this next year too.
Here's what he said:
"So, I just got confirmation, that the logo that I posted earlier will in fact be the new primary logo. They just re-colored the old one because of a stipulation that would have levied a fine if they had entirely re-designed it until a few more years had passed. However, the note logo will be featured most prominently on uniforms, etc.
I also saw the new uniforms today, and they use the note logo. White homes, Navy Blue away's, both have side paneling, and they say "Utah," on the butt of the shorts. Neck's are V necks. Reminiscent of the old ones, but with a definite modern look. They look pretty good IMO. I will try to see if I can get a file uploaded here. Right now I only have it on an illustrator file, so I might not be able to upload it to a PDF until later."

You've got to be kidding me.

That logo looks like **** honestly...

I agree ^ Although I feel like if they changed the rest of the floor to compliment the main logo it might not look so bad.

I heard a rumor that the Jazz's primary logo won't change...
Outside of its color scheme (they'll bring in the green and gold). The NBA fines each franchise $500,000 if they abandon the primary logo and the Jazz don't want to face this heavy of a fine. Atlanta was in a similar position back in 2007 or 2008 (whenever they changed their logo). So instead of overhauling their primary, they adjusted their older logo by changing the color and adding a new typeface. This is what the Jazz will do.
The J-note will be used, as it has been lately, as a secondary logo to avoid the fine.
Though expect that secondary logo to get more play on the uniforms than the potentially newly reworked mountains logo currently used by the team.
Again, this is just what I heard. If true, though, it's a disappointment.

Oh sweet Jesus. Epic fail. This organization needs to get a better marketing team. I mean holy ****, that floor logo, and "Utah on the butt" sounds so retarded I think someone needs to assassinate Grand Harrison. If they were going back to the note they needed to streamline the whole thing. They already looked liked they didn't know what they wanted to to do the last few years and now it's going to look even worse now. So you got the old logo floor with the new colors that will probably look like utter ****(are they going to paint the rest of the floor to match it?) and from that other thread in sounds like they may even use the jersey's they been wearing since the last update. Go all the way or stay like you were before. And that doesn't even include ****** decisions they made with the new uniform (Utah on the butt) It's going to look like a jumbled mess. Tacky. '
And yes I'm blowing this out of proportion...but ****.

Looks like you and I were on the same page.
This is totally ridiculous. The Jazz organization sucks at times.

Seems like the reason for this is that the Jazz would be fined 500k for changing the primary logo. Maybe you should chip in to offset that fine.

If they're going to half-*** it, might as well keep the logo as it is.
I've never been a fan of the mountains logo. I thought it was too 90s. With that said, just changing the color scheme on the logo isn't what many fans expected when the franchise discussed the potential of a logo change. It's not a logo change. It's a re-colorization of the same logo this franchise has had since 1997. Now maybe the franchise is fine with that. Whatever. But yeesh. We're now working on the third color scheme in fifteen years. The second in five.
It is ridiculous.
So now instead of getting the logo we all expected, we're getting a rehash of what we've had. Sure, they're avoiding a $500,000 fine. But how much of that $500,000 could easily be made up in sales of a new, true logo change?
If you're not going all in, don't go in at all.
