SALT LAKE CITY — Leaked images of what appear to be the Utah Jazz’s future uniforms surfaced on twitter on Tuesday afternoon, hinting at the rumored rebrand that new owner Ryan Smith has been talking about for sometime.
Tweeted by @JazzNationNews, a Utah Jazz fan account with over 17,000 followers and more than 57,000 followers on Instagram, the account stated:
“BREAKING … Jazz uniforms for next season

At the Silicon Slopes Summit back in October, Smith confirmed that the rebrand would be centered around black and white colors which are well represented in the leaked photos.
When they were pressed on rumors of a brand and color shift, Smith said, “we’re not just going to have two colors. It’s not just going to be black and white. But we’re going to have a good base.”
In addition to the yellow and white jerseys in the post, a third jersey purple can be seen with tributes to the old copper and black jerseys from the Stockton and Malone era with the purple, white, and green accents. This jersey appears to go along with the NBA’s 2021 “mixtape” city edition theme which Utah chose to not participate in.
Earlier this morning there was also another jersey leaked which appears to be the teams “statement” jersey as it features the “Jordan” logo just like their current gold jersey.
Reminder … earlier today another jersey for next season was leaked as well (not great quality). With the Jordan logo you would guess this would be the new Statement jersey https://t.co/TRTr8QSIQC pic.twitter.com/jK9WCxXAGM
