"Natural Beauty. Fire. Passion. Power. It’s the next stage of a celebration of our state. It’s the 20–21 Utah Jazz City Edition uniform." the franchise wrote to describe the new threads.
The Jazz played it cool and let most NBA teams release their City Edition uniforms before taking center stage all by themselves.
“Our latest take on this theme continues to represent how this team belongs to the entire state, as these Jazz uniforms remain the only ones with ‘Utah’ emblazoned across the chest.” said Bart Sharp, senior vice president of marketing for the Jazz.
