SALT LAKE CITY – When the Utah Jazz take the floor during the 2022-23 season, they will have a new statement jersey but it hasn’t been released yet by the team.
According to certain reports on social media, a mock up of the Jazz new statement jersey was released with fans giving their opinions.
In the social media post below, it is a very simple look for the Jazz with yellow letters, numbers, jumpman logo and the sponsor logo. According to Jazz Uni Tracker on Twitter, the Jazz are 6-6 this season when wearing the current statement uniforms.

Jazz Going With Different Look Under New Ownership
Earlier this season, the Utah Jazz practice facility at the Zions Bank Basketball Campus has gotten a black and white makeover.
In photos posted on social media that have since been deleted by a local painting company, the court is shown with a new black and white theme, a change from the team’s traditional navy blue, green, and gold palette.
In the photos, a black and white Jazz note logo can be seen painted at the center of one of the practice courts, with another Jazz note painted near one of the practice facilities’ scoreboards.
Though the photos have been deleted from the company’s social media feeds, cached images of the project remain online.
The theme matches updates the team has made to Vivint Arena in the tunnels below the fan seating. The walls are adorned with black and white Jazz logos, as well as large portraits of players from the team.
Where else the Jazz plan to use the black and white color scheme remains unknown, however.
The team has not announced any major rebranding plans on the court, nor in their jersey design. The Jazz had five different jerseys last season including the Association (white), Icon (navy blue), Statement (gold), City (black gradient), and earned (green).
Meanwhile, part-owner Dwyane Wade has teased the idea of an updated look multiple times on Twitter.
When asked by a fan to return to the Jazz to their traditional purple coloration, Wade said the team had different plans.
