It doesn’t take a lot for sports fans to rip apart a team’s terrible uniform. When the Utah Jazz rebranded to their awful black and yellow jerseys two years ago, they were consistently bullied about this horrific wardrobe choice.
On Wednesday, the Jazz finally made it clear they want to actually listen to their audience. In a Twitter post, Utah revealed it would be jettisoning those black and yellow eyesores after just two seasons in favor of a more classic purple and white aesthetic that seemingly harkens back to the golden era of the 1980s and 1990s.
And let me say, even after only two years — this was long overdue:
The most courts per capita in the nation ✔️
The largest youth program in the league ✔️
85% of the population near the mountains ✔️Utah is Mountain Basketball 🏔️🏀#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/awR1WsUee0

Thank goodness the Jazz came to their senses and issued out on a modern take on arguably the best uniforms they have ever had. That purple and white look with the cool Utah mountains splashed over the chest is a flat-out perfect design choice. In the paraphrased words of a legendary NFL cornerback, the Jazz players will look good AND potentially even play good now. (Well, maybe on the latter point.)
Let us never see them walk this back to horrific uniforms like they had over the last two years.
