Purple throwbacks are official!

Obviously it’s a matter of opinion, but I couldn’t disagree more with your take. Yes, we made the Finals in those jerseys but Stockton and Malone played the overwhelming majority of their careers in the J-Note uni’s. That’s the jersey that myself (and I think most others) think of when they think about Stockton and Malone. I also remember quotes from both players stating that they didn’t really care for the uni’s and would have preferred to keep the originals.

As humans, we’re sheep when it’s comes to nostalgia, so I get it. This stuff sells. I know I’m in the minority, but I think it’s an ugly uni that’s extremely dated to an era in which the NBA seemed intent on churning out as many horrible uni’s/color combos as possible. The J-Note is one of the most classic, cleanest looking logos/uni’s in the league and I’d be just fine if the mountain and city edition uni’s got put away for good.

These jerseys are what everyone outside Utah thinks about when they think of the Jazz. It was the height of the franchise and Stockton and Malone.
 
It's curious to me that the general consensus from NBA fans is that these throwbacks are classics, and the best of the admittedly garish 90's jerseys, but there are a ton of Jazz fans who don't see it that way.

I also wonder if there's an age factor here, people who grew up watching the Jazz in the late nineties are probably a little more excited about them than someone who was a little older when these came out and by then completely burned out on the cartoonish and corny era that was the nineties.

These are popular outside of Utah. They are seen probably as the coolest Jazz jersey. From former players to several family members to many NBA folks and their comments even today, these are by far our most popular jersey. Outside some Jazz fans I rarely see a negative comment on them, aside from Stockton and Malone lol.

I remember CJ Miles wanted to have this for a season, D-Will has been leaving positive comments on bringing them back and liking all the pics with them in them. A couple years ago Royce had pics with his friends/family. Of course it was this style Karl Malone jersey he wore. I believe I remember Big Sean wearing one of these at one of his concerts. Part of it is sentimental value. Everyone remembers watching he Jazz against the Bulls, still the most viewed NBA finals of all time, these jerseys are iconic to the franchise. It’s just opinion for sure, but among people outside some Jazz fans who seem to think they are ugly, these are by far the franchises most popular/well known jersey. It’s unfortunate a title wasn’t won in them, they’d mean even more, maybe Don and Rudy can change that.

I thought those jerseys would look weird with current players numbers. It's like when I see those I expect to see 12 or 32 on them but watching the video with Conley I like it. It's great to bring them back unless you don't do it too often.

Hmm.. I vividly remember when unveiling one of the retro jazz note jersey Dwill said something like "as long as it's not the mountains".

I think at the time that's the feeling but now it's come back full circle though I think.
