The three new traditional uniforms include a white edition with the black Jazz Note logo resting over top of the player’s jersey number with a highlighter yellow trim.

The second jersey prominently features the highlighter yellow color with the Jazz name emboldened over the player’s number in black.

And finally, a black jersey with the word Utah over the player’s number in highlighter yellow.

The new jerseys are a part of a major rebrand for the Jazz that will include a redesigned court for the upcoming NBA season.

Teams traditionally debut their rebranded jerseys ahead of the NBA draft, though the Jazz don’t currently own a pick in the June 23rd event.

Jazz Release Next Two Purple Edition Jerseys

In addition to the three main jerseys in their rotation, the Jazz also made a surprise announcement by releasing two purple jerseys for both the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.

The classic edition jersey for the 2022-23 season resembles the mountain jersey the Jazz wore during their runs to the finals in 1997 and 1998.
