UTAH JAZZ HISTORY
The Utah Jazz were established as an expansion team in 1974, originally as the New Orleans Jazz. The team’s name “Jazz” was chosen to reflect the amazing history of music in New Orleans, but the team kept the name after relocating to Salt Lake City in 1979.
The Jazz had a rough start in the league, but once they made the playoffs for the first time in 1984, they didn’t miss them again until 2004. The team thrived in the 90s under coach Jerry Sloan, with pick and roll partners John Stockton and Karl Malone, and had two appearances in the Finals in 97 and 98.
Since then, the team made it to the playoffs 16 more times and held the best regular season record in the league for the 2020-2021 season. After trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert in 2022, the team has entered a rebuilding era.
The Utah Jazz play their home games at Vivint Arena, located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
UTAH JAZZ LOGO
The Utah Jazz’s logo has been through a number of very different designs, more so than most other NBA teams. Originally, the team’s logo was the word “Jazz” in purple letters with the bottom of the music note-shaped “J” made out of a purple, green and yellow basketball. The location (first New Orleans and then Utah) was written in the top right corner of the design.
From 1996-2010, the team’s logo was a complete redesign, with the word “Jazz” on top of mountains with an orange circle outline. In 2004 the logo stayed the same, but the color scheme changed, removing the orange. From 2010-2016, the color scheme changed again, this time to forest green, dark blue and yellow. 
From 2016 up until 2022, the team went back to the original logo style, with the team’s updated color scheme. And then in 2022 the team announced another full rebrand with new jerseys. The new uniforms include a throwback version of the purple mountain logo the Jazz wore from 1996 to 2004, but the other uniforms and the logo still use white, yellow and black.
