They're decent. I've liked Utah's jersey choices/colorways the last few years too.

But yeah, if you're going simple, I think nowadays a lot of creative decisions lack any soul and look lazy. It has to POP if it looks simple otherwise nobody will think twice about them.. these pop decently but also could be a little better too.

I can see jazz fans hating it because it doesnt really have anything to do with jazz colors, but that black jersey is so clean

The black and yellow ones are too plain to be terrible. But holy ****, I can't believe someone got paid to design them. Even in a video game where you create you own jerseys that one feels extremely **** lazy, like it's one I'm doing because I'm sick of the creative process in general and just want to get going with the game. Like I feel it could be made in MS Paint in 10 minutes. I imagine the meeting went something like this:

"So we need two jerseys, both with yellow and black"
"How about we have one black, one yellow?"
"Genius! Now we need some way to differentiate them besides that."
"How about one says "UTAH" in big block lettering and the other says "JAZZ" in big block lettering, and on the black jersey it will say 'UTAH' in yellow lettering and on the yellow jersey it'll say 'JAZZ' in black lettering!"
"You're amazing! Let's call it a day!"
"Absolutely, we earned a break"

Just comp'ed up the jerseys with the classic Jazz lockup and think this looks so much cleaner.

To me it would be a bigger announcement if a team came out and said, we only have 1 home jersey and 1 away jersey for the upcoming season. I liked the days when I could picture a team's jersey in my head because they only had that 1 jersey. There is no more iconic jerseys because every team has 20-30 different jerseys every season.
Part of that is because Nike took over and did away with home and away in favor of association and icon uniforms that were not exclusive to home/away. Then add in the statement uniform which would be in place of the old alternate but will probably change more often. All 30 teams now have a city uniform which does for sure change every season. Coupled with the earned uniform that only 16 teams get, which may not even be an every season thing.

They'll look better if the Jazz get some big, jacked athletes to wear them.

Thanks guys. There's potential with these and the colors.

Also, to give a little background on the Jazz rebrand. They went with a branding agency called STUDIO DUMBAR/DEPT, which isn't very common with a lot of teams. They created an entire identity system that go along with these new jerseys. Dropping some of it below.

What made them decide on black & yellow?
Also why use the most vanilla font possible?

Yours look much nicer than the official black and yellow ones, hehe. You could add the Jazz musical note logo on the other side of the Nike logos and make it the same color as those... but all of them a smaller size. It might make it look too busy or might look sweet.

Don't the Jazz have a new uniform like every other year? Whenever I watch them I always think they're playing in alternates cuz I have no idea what their home and away uniforms are.

Quite possibly one of the most ridiculous things I've read in recent memory.

The more I look at the black and yellow ones, the more I dislike them.

When was the last time a sports franchise just completely changed their entire color scheme overnight? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that. At least nothing comes to mind. So weird. And to black and yellow? So unoriginal.

The Utah jazz are clearly suffering an identity crisis right now. A franchise in turmoil, whose Head Coach chose to walk away from them despite them begging him to stay, and his two best players don’t like each other with reports floating around that one or both of them is going to demand a trade. This almost feels like a purposeful distraction from the instability in their front office and in their locker room. What a mess.

Cavaliers come to mind. Before and after Lebron got drafted was a drastic change
