Regardless of basketball fans’ opinions on the Utah Jazz’s City Edition uniforms, the said threads will be back next season, according to Kyle Goon of The Salt Lake Tribune.
The team is bringing back the City Editions for the 2018-19 season after they became the Jazz’s fastest-selling jersey ever this season, postponing Nike’s planned unveiling of a new locally inspired uniform. The organization also will keep the City Edition court, which features a silhouette of the Delicate Arch and the jersey color spectrum around the edge of the court.
The City Edition of the Jazz’s uniform was first introduced in December, and since then, the reception has been generally positive. While most fans normally detest changes, the jerseys were welcomed by Jazz supporters, who were quick to purchase their own sets of these uniforms. With that, it only makes sense for Utah to extend the lifespan of the City Editions.
“New design and color schemes can be initially polarizing to a fan base, but we have been overwhelmed at the favorable response to these uniforms that represent a special part of our state,” Bart Sharp, senior vice president of marketing for the Utah Jazz, said in a team news release. “We are excited to bring back this southern Utah version of the Nike uniform collection for next season, and we will introduce different looks in the future.”
In addition, Goon also noted that the Jazz will use the City Edition court in the next Summer League.

It’s good for the Utah fans that the City editions will still be around beyond season, but the one thing they would want to see this season is their team making a deep run in the upcoming playoffs.
